Kaixo! I am Joseba a young euskaldun (Basque speaking person, wrongly translated in to Basque) born and raised in Bilbao. I am an official tour guide in the Basque region and my aim is to get you close to our beautiful land and culture. My career began as an environmental technician, which gave me a great knowledge about our superb nature. But 7 years ago, I decide to move to Berlin and there I found a job that fits in with my skills and preferences: guiding people on their journeys. Since then, I've lived in four countries and guided hundreds of travellers in different parts of the world, until I decide to come back to my beloved Bilbao, three years ago. As a guide, I am a really proactive, serious and passionate one. I am all the time trying to improve my skills and knowledge, always curious about history, folklore and cultural aspects of societies. All my tours can be given in the five languages I speak: Basque, Spanish, English, German and Italian. With all this experience I want to invite you to discover the Basque Country from close, getting in touch with the local people, their tradition and culture, as the surrounding enchanted nature. My way of working could be easily described in two words: Slow Tourism. Come to visit with me the charming Basque Country, you won't regret! Discover about our vibrant culture, delicious gastronomy and ancient history. Grab a Basque beret, put it on and begin to feel like a real Basque! ONGI ETORRI! -Degree in Environmental Science in 2008. -Professional guide in the Basque Country, running my own responsible tourism company with all the permissions and insurances. -Experience as a guide in different countries: four years as a bike tour guide in Berlin and three years as a walking and bike guide in the Basque Country. -Certified titles for several languages: Advanced Certified in English by Cambridge University (C1), B2 in Deustch bei Goethe Institut and E.G.A. (basque language's highest degree). Not allowed to drive with more than 8 people. If you are a larger group, let me know and a bigger vehicle with driver would be arranged.

Overview of your Bilbao tour
Bilbao is a wonderful city to be visited by bike. The industrial and grey city where I was born has turned in to colourful metropolis full of life. I love riding my bike along the river Nervion, while I enjoy the avant-garde buildings and sculptures of the area. You'll be able to discover whole Bilbao at a glance and get wonderful tips for the rest of your stay. It is the perfect combination of fun and knowledge. I've designed a perfect tour for families and groups of friends, so no one will get bored. On two wheels, comen and discover my lovely city and the lifestyle of its inhabitants, from the pintxos (little snacks) and the local religion: Athletic Club Bilbao. The tour distance is not very long (6-7 km/4-5 miles) and slopes are very few, so this kind of experience is perfect for the whole family. E-bikes are also available on request.
