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).

This was our second of three tours with Iker and once again was amazing. As the weather was bad to start he rearranged our route to give us the best experience. It cleared up beautifully and our amended itinerary proved to be even better than what was planned. We also got to know Iker better and he is so accommodating and pleasant we loved every moment.
Laura H.Ireland
Iker took us on a beautiful day around San Sebastian and showed us a little of the different landmarks of the region. He always looked for our care and showed us stories, some of the locals' traditions and the amazing cuisine which they are proud of. We would recommend booking this for 2 or more days, so a more detailed plan can be drafted for you as 1 day isn't enough. Thanks Iker for a great day and the enriching experience. Manuel & Laura

A wonderful day along the Basque coast with Iker. A charming and considerate host, comfortable car, and great food! Iker adjusted our tour to account for our interests and filled us in on local history and culture. A terrific tour!
George S.Australia
Iker always did his very best, was always courteous, and knows the city of Bilboa. We enjoyed his company and benefited from his knowledge to make our tour most enjoyable ... even during some heavy rain showers! We would have no hesitation in recommending Iker. George & Diana Shirling Australia
