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

Since I was born I have spent all the summers and many weekend at Sukarrieta, a picturesque little town in the heart of Urdabai Biosphere Reserve. Therefore I know every corner of the region. I would like to share with you all the charming spots of this beautiful area! Beautiful fishing villages such as Mundaka or Elantxobe or historical towns like Gernika or Bermeo, the plans in this small area are uncountable. If you are more into nature and hiking, there are many small hikes in the area or birdwatching places. The painted forest of Oma or the short walk to San Pedro Atxerre will provide you a superb view of the whole region and a perfect place for photo-shooting. Also visitable but a bit harder hike is San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. On this little paradise was filmed the TV series of Games of Thrones. If you are planning to visit Urdaibai, consider contacting a local, you won't regret!
