If you are looking for Real, Local, Licensed and Professional Basque Guides in San Sebastian, let you know that you found it!! I was born in San Sebastian, Basque Country, I'm a person who loves travelling and sharing my experiences with people. I have visited over 70 countries and guided travellers, friends and family for long time. After travelling around the world in my last big trip, during 14 months, I'm even more prepared to guide you along the Basque Country and surroundings. Would you like to listen to some of the stories I have to share, while I show you the beautiful country where I live in is? I am a private local Basque guide and have a long experience guiding people along the Basque Country, over 15 years, in areas specially around San Sebastian, Bilbao, Pamplona, Vitoria as well as the French-Basque Country and the famous Rioja Wine region. As well as I travel abroad often, I love to work showing my city and surroundings, guiding people to the best places, not only to the touristic ones, but to the off-the-track ones too. Always adding some of my little stories and anecdotes of each place making the journey more enjoyable and unique. Living in a place with a food-culture like us, it adds an extra value to my tours, being a member of a Gastronomy Club(famous sociedad gastronómica) in San Sebastian as I am. This is only one of some of the tips I would offer you, considering that the only way to visit and access to them is being invited by a member! Great experience not to be missed!!

Kaixo! (Hello, in Basque language) After over 15 years of being a private tour guide in Bilbao, I know which ones are the best places to see, the main sites of this city. But not only that, and more important, I also know those secret spots, gems, that are off-the-beaten-track for visitors, but that we love in Bilbao. Places where we locals go, live and enjoy life. Allow me to show the highlights of this vibrant city to you in this half day tour. We'll spend quiete a while in the old town visiting the old City Hall, Arriaga Theatre, Santiago Cathedral and we'll stroll around the colourful variety of the Ribera Market. . . and much more: you won't regret it! Enjoy this private tour along the center of Bilbao City, the best sites, hidden ones and the must see places like the Guggenheim Museum. During this experience you'll learn about history, architecture, art and also Basque customs! I am more than willing to customize this tour according to your preferences, please contact me for a tailored experience
Iker was an amazing tour guide. He brought the Guggenheim to life and we got so much more out of the experiment than we ever could have on our own. Ikea is very knowledgable about all things Basque, art, food, wine, governance, and more. We had one of our best meals in Basque Country by ordering what he recommended. We learned so much and enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you, Iker!
We had a fabulous time with Iker on our tour of Bilbao and the Guggenheim. He was very thorough in his history of Bilbao and the selection process of how Frank Gehry was chosen as the architect for the Guggenheim. What an incredibly designed and constructed building. Iker also explained the history of the Basque people and its unique language…I highly recommend Iker.
One of the best tours we have had! Iker is so very knowledgeable, fun, patient and friendly … we had the BEST day with him! Highly recommend any of his tours, he’s an absolute professional and a wonderful guide.
I am a tour guide and booked this tour with Iker for my clients. They RAVED about him! They could not have been happier with their tour and his expertise. Thank you!
Fabulous tour with the most amazing guide Iker. Iker is knowledgeable, informative & easy to be with. He is amazing‼️
We had an amazing time with Iker for our tour of Bilbao and the Guggenheim Museum. Iker is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about his region and culture. His van is comfortable and clean and his english is excellent. One of our friends tripped and fell during the tour and needed assistance. Iker could not have been more caring, concerned and helpful when that happened. Our tour with Iker felt like spending a day with a friend and I would highly recommend him to others, you won't be disappointed.
