As part of our European holiday we spent 4 days in San Sebastian and I reached out to BCC to secure gravel bikes for me and my GF. We hired a guide (Luis) for one of those days and he provided us with a magnificent 6 hour ride along the coast and the Camino de Santiago. The views were spectacular, the roads pristine and the drivers polite. I would strongly recommend using this company.
Note to self: Super stoked we went to San Sebastian in 2022 as Stages 1 and 2 of the "Grand Depart" for the 110th 2023 Tour de France are in Bilbao and San Sebastian, respectively. As the Tour de France is the most-watched annual sports event in the world, this "secret little gem" is going to get some big attention and hopefully bolster the local economies. More than half a million spectators line the roadside every day in the three week race, while a daily average of 166 million people watch the race on television in one hundred countries. That said, better book your trip early as there will be many others seeking out this fabulous experience.

My fiance and I are competitive cyclists and wanted to rent high quality bikes during our trip to San Sebastian and go around with a guide. The bikes we rented were outstanding and tuned perfectly and our guide (Saioa) was fantastic and took us on some nice and challenging rides in the San Sebastian area. I can't wait to come back to San Sebastian and ride with Basque Country Cycling again!

Great bicycle tour of The Basque countryside. We wanted to do about 70k and we had the lovely Oscar as our guide. Worth the money to have a local guide, knowledgeable about the history and area and someone nice to chat to and warn you about the climbs! Although it’s hilly (you need some experience on a bike for the terrain) there are some long flats by the coast which are lovely and Oscar helped us map out the perfect route for our ability. Very professional, good pace and guidance.
We stopped for a delicious Pinxtos and coffee and Oscar introduced us to his friends at the surf school so we could book in some lessons.
Bikes were good - there is an option for a hybrid electric bike if you’re not confidant with hill climbs. I was super pleased to have this at times. Also something to note, Oscar takes fantastic photographs! No need to take your own... very pleased with them and the whole day, one we won’t forget! Thank you !!

Luisma was really helpful and fantastic. I contacted him about two weeks before my trip and he organised everything for me in advance of my visit. I only used the bike for 1 day but he was fantastic in opening the shop for me at 8am on a Saturday morning (very early in San Sebastián) and provided me with the bike, and helmet and bottles, and a Mount for my wahoo. Also gave me a great route up the jaiskibal and aiako harria national park. Highly recommend using the company

We rented bikes and guides for three amazing days of cycling around San Sebastian. The bikes were well maintained and the two guides excellent - they listened to our requirements and paced us well and took us on three very different but lovely routes. Highly recommend!

What an AMAZING experience- highly highly recommend. We did the ‘caressing the coast’ tour from San Sebastián with Saioa as our guide. We biked ~50 miles and she’d always warn us before a climb and go whatever speed we were comfortable with. The bikes were top notch and the views were unbeatable. This is a must if you’re at all into cycling!

Disappointing engagement.
I read good reviews about this company (mainly on here) but they're not very responsive. I've chased them 4 times about a basic cycling trip in San Sebastian. Since then, they've just stopped responding.
It doesn't take much to respond to basic emails and it's disappointing that they've been so unhelpful.

Hi Martyn
We are glad to hear from you, at least through this channel.
We don't understand when you say that we don't answer your emails, because between November 2021 and January 2022 we exchanged 9 emails, it is true that during our Christmas vacations we stopped answering you, sorry for that silence for about 15 days.
After January, we have exchanged as many emails, among which was included a budget of a hotel for your group, so that in this way, you only had to make the reservation at the hotel directly, hotel to which we also asked if they could get baby cribs, since you were traveling with babies.
In the end you did not book at the hotel and from the initial 5 bikes, it was only one bike for you.
We prepared a special product for you following your instructions to help you book the bike you never booked, a bike that we kept locked for several days to prevent someone else from booking it.
On February 23rd, was our last email requesting a response, which we never got.
That is why we find this constructive criticism on your part strange.
Nevertheless, we invite you to enjoy our services the next time you travel to San Sebastian.
Best regards

We hired 1 race bike and 1 e bike. Luisma took all the time to adjust the bikes to our measurements. Since we were also planning 100km + tours, we received a second battery. Bike tours were very beautiful but also challenging and please do not forget any protection against the Rain. We highly recommend the Basque Country for cycling and this bike rental shop. We will definitely go back 1 day. CU soon.

Brilliant mornings riding guided by Nestor. I was able to collect the bike the day before and do a ride at 06:30 around the amazing countryside around San Sebastián. Easy communication and some great photos for Strava too. ;). Will be back!

Absolutely the worst service. I was in the shop wanting to rent some bikes. They were busy with another group which is obviously fine. But having me wait for 30 minutes without even speaking to me is not appropriate

Firstly, thank you so much for your opinion.
We are sincerely sorry for our mistake and for not being able to take care of you correctly. Indeed, we were trying to organise for a large group at the same time, however that is no reason to not have also taken care of your petition nor neglect your needs.
In an effort to make it up to you, we would be happy to offer you free service for whatever you may need within our power.

I want to organize a bike ride from San Sebastian to Barcelona. Do you provide bikes in San Sebastian and arrange recovery from Barcelona? There would be approx 6 riders and I would expect the trip to take 5/6 days.

Hi there,
My husband and I are interested in your cycling tour. We are both very active however, we have not done a lot of road cycling. Would you recommend this tour to novice riders?

If you are active and comfortable with a self guided tour, the ride to the Arditurri mine that we did is a good one as you are always on bike lanes or trails. You go on bike lines (through some super cool bike tunnels) to get around and through the city (it's impressive to experience Donostia's bike infrastructure... wonderful sight to see entire families biking safely through the city), then off on trail to the mine. We were on bikes for around 4 hours. We stopped for lunch for a bit over an hour. Round trip was maybe 40 miles. Some hills, but manageable grade with gears. Shifting was a dream on these top of these line mountain bikes.
