Traveller reviews
Amazing Amazing Amazing! Iker was great and very responsive to helping us customize a wonderful 5 day tour for my foodie family who also loves history and soccer. Our guides, Gorka and Martin were so great and really connected well with my 2 teenage sons - taking us to French Basque, small villages, larger villages, Bilboa and provided us with the history along the way! They were also very helpful in making dinner reservations for us! They are both very kind and very knowledgeable about the Basque region.
Wonderful Donostia Vacation The 5 days with Gorka, Malena and Juan was a delightful and enlightening experience with delicious food and learning about the culture. All 3 guides were attentive, polite and knowledgeable. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.
Our super friendly guide, Gorka, was extremely proud of his home country and we now know why. After 4 days with him and one day in the Rioja area with Mateo, we feel like we know Basque Country well now too. We loved the food, scenery and heritage. Gorka gave us such a great introduction into Pintxos bars that we felt comfortable ordering on our own. Cheesecake at La Vina is to die for. The seaside towns and mountain drives through the Highlands are a must.
We booked this tour 4 months in advance and opted for the full 5 days of tours since we had the time and wanted the full experience. What an excellent decision. From our first contact with Iker, the owner, to meeting our guide, Gorka, everything went perfectly. We spent a day each in San Sebastián, Biarritz, Bilbao, Rioja Wine Country and the Highlands including the Basilica of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. We chose the Highlands vs. Pamplona and were blown away by the mountain scenery. We cannot say enough about Gorka. He was prompt, very personable and knowledgeable of each place we visited. Our guide for Rioja, Mateo, was also excellent. I would not hesitate to book them for whatever type and # of days you want.
The itinerary prepared by Iker from Basque guides was amazing . We visited many locations and towns every detail of this trip was perfect and exceeded our expectations
My brother highly recommended Iker from a prior trip to San Sebastian & the Basque Country. I can honestly state that planning our itinerary with Iker went smoothly, and he responsed in a timely manner. We ended up booking 5 tours with Basque Guides & all were fantastic. We did the Walking Tour of San Sebastian, Evening Food Tour, the Basque Countryside, Bilbao & the Guggenheim Museum, & the French Basque Coastline. Iker lead a couple of our tour and Mateo and Alvaro led the others. All were wonderful & Iker checked back with us each day to make sure that we enjoyed each tour. We ate well, enjoyed seeing the local markets, saw beautiful scenery, & learned about the culture, language and history of the country. I'd recommend San Sebastian & Basque Guides in a heartbeat! ScaryCostco, Iker (and if you want to know what that means you will have to go & find out for yourselves!)
Fantastic Basque Country tour with Iker, a very knowledgeable and engaging guide whose helpfulness ensures a memorable experience. Highly recommended!
Overall a fantastic experience. Friendly and professional staff, flexible and accommodative, super helpful! Many thanks. Highly recommend!
