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 was an excellent guide. He showed us fabulous boutique wineries where the tastings were top notch, the restaurant we went to for lunch was tasty and his driving skills while providing us with great information about the region and San Sebastián/Basque countryside - wonderful.
Great day - great guide - very knowledgeable in many areas and flexible....
We had a great trip to the Rioja region with Iker today. We visited two small, but excellent wineries and had a delightful lunch. Overall a great day.
Iker was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgable and flexible. He picked us up from our hotel and took us to la Rioja for a day tour. He had a great sense of who we were and what we wanted to experience and I feel like he really catered to us while also honoring the Basque region. He gave us a ton of tips for the rest of our trip and I wouldn't hesitate to hire his company again for other Basque region tours or to recommend his company again.
Iker was very knowledgeable, professional and fun to be with! He customized our experience by asking all the right questions. Outstanding wine tour of Rioja. 5 Star in every category. He is a must when traveling to Basque.
Our tour was fantastic. Iker made it such a fun day -- info about Rioja, interesting wineries, and a great lunch. He was able to quickly tailor the day to things we like. If we were back in the area, we'd definitely book a tour with him again!
