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!! Come and feel the experience of the Basque Country with a real local guide! Ongi etorri! ("Welcome" in Basque).

Iker guided my husband, our friends and me for 3 beautiful days in the Basque region. We spent the 1st day touring San Sebastián, the 2nd day in French basque and the 3rd day in Pamplona. I cannot say enough about what a fabulous guide Iker was. He was very knowledgeable, pleasant and accommodating. I would highly recommend Iker without hesitation.

Iker provided us with a wonderful three days in the Basque region. As he got to know us better he suggested adaptations to the itinerary that allowed us to have the type of experience that we had sought, but didn't really know existed. We felt as though we were travelling with an extremely knowledgeable friend. We have already recommended Iker to family members and plan to explore other parts of the Basque country with him in the future

Embarking on a three-day Basque tour with an exceptional guide, Iker was a true delight. From the charming streets of San Sebastián, French Basque little towns, Bilbao side, each day was filled with awe-inspiring landscapes and rich cultural experiences. Iker's expertise and passion for the region elevated the journey, ensuring we not only saw magnificent places but also gained a deeper understanding of Basque heritage. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in Basque Country.

Iker is an amazing tour guide. Our experience with Iker was one of a kind & the best we've ever had. We booked 3 days of customized tours where he showed us places off the beaten path that were amazing & taught us about Basque culture, history & food in a way that no museum could. Iker really really knows food & delivered culinary experiences one could only dream about (including a visit to a renowned Basque cheese maker!) Iker gave us a travel experience that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Iker!
