Guide #22360
My name is Gontxu, I was born in Donostia-San Sebastian in 1977. After my studies I left the city to travel a bit the world, then, I was living in several countries like Ireland, France, Iran, Mexico or Benin. I learned a bit about other cultures and towns around the world. After my experiences abroad, I decided to come back to San Sebastian and settled down in my native city for guiding and showing to visitors the magic of the region. I love nature and on my free time I love to go into the ocean for surfing or swimming and into the mountains for climbing or trekking. I am also passionate of history and culture and a good food lover, always ready for good tasting meal :-) I am looking forward to meeting you and transmit you the magic of our region, let's do it combining 3 Basque passions: gastronomy, culture and nature, I am sure we are going to have a great time together. - Wide experience guiding tourists in San Sebastian. - Middle Mountain Guide degree. - Experience living in other countries such a France, Ireland, Iran, Mexico or Benin. - 5 years Business administration degree. I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences

Gontxu was great! He is knowledgeable, personable, and communicates well. He easily modified parts of our tour to fit our interests as he learned more about us. It was so much fun to spend the afternoon with him. I highly recommend Gontxu for your tour!

We did an amazing bike tour of San Sebatian with Gontxu. He was super organized, kind, knowledgeable and funny. He ensured we had a great time and helped us to curate some restaurants and activities for our time in the Region. We would highly recommend this tour and Gontxu as a way to see the city!

We have visited many cities around the world and done many tours using tours by local and withlocals. I don't recall a better experience than what we had with Gontxu. He was engaging, lively, and enjoyable to be around. He made a point of speaking to each of our family members, ages 13-80. We did the city and pintxos tour and felt it was a perfect amount of time to...
