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).

Looking for something unique, special and with a personal touch? You found it! After so many years of being a private tour guide in Lourdes, I know which ones are the best places to see, the icons of this sanctuary. But I also know those secret spots that are off-the-beaten-track for visitors. I make this tours exceptionally personal due to the spiritual experience, making you feel really the sanctuary as it should, with all the respect and vision of every single step given. Departing from Donostia-San Sebastian, we'll visit the Sanctuary of Lourdes, in France. It will be an exclusive & complete private guided tour. If you are looking for a really personal experience, this is your tour as I do not join people or groups from other tours to mine. You'll have time for the principal mass in the basilica, time to pray, go to see the famous cave, get some Lourdes water, walk around the sanctuary and visit Bernadette's house. All guided by a private and personal guide. . . .
Iker was a wonderful guide! We had an amazing visit to Lourdes. I would highly recommend Iker & his team. We ended up booking a coastal towns tour for the next day and had a great time with Luis! Prompt, professional & made our excursions very efficient with private transportation. If I’m lucky enough to find myself back in San Sebastián I will definitely use their services again!
We were a party of 8 adults traveling to San Sebastian Spain for the first time. Our guide, Iker went above and beyond any guide we have used in the past. From the onset of the booking he was very diligent and quick to answer any questions or concerns. He is extremely knowledgeable and completely fluent in English and Spanish. I felt "pampered". He was so kind and patient with us. Thank you Iker from the bottom of my heart for making our vacation spectacular!!!
A remarkable excursion to Lourdes which was made entirely possible w Iker. Not very likely our family could have navigated the travel to and throughout Lourdes with out Iker's experience. Deeply spiritual visit for our family.
Our guide Iker was amazing. A very special person. sensitive, knowledgeable, caring, and extremely pleasant personality. He made this experience so special to us, that I thank him profusely. Will hire him again without any hesitation. He helped me reach my expectations, and even more. I am very happy it was him guiding me through this very spiritual tour. Transportation was extremely comfortable and his driving skills, superior.. Thank you Iker ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Iker arrived on time, was very considerate and anticipated all our needs, knowledgeable on all topics, and gamely responded to our questions from the odd to the mundane. More than a tour guide, we felt like he was a friend taking us around his beloved Basque region. We will definitely recommend him to our family and friends who plan to visit San Sebastian.
Iker was a fabulous guide! He was considerate of us, informative, he knew all the best ways to see Lourdes and he made our day perfect!
-Departure from San Sebastian everyday to Lourdes (For other cities pick up please ask) -Driving time: 2 hours each way. -Time in Lourdes sanctuary: Visiting the Sanctuary, Bernadette's hourse, the grotte or cave, miracle water and main mass for the ones they want to join. Total time in Lourdes and the sanctuary. Around 4 hours. -Departing time: from Lourdes to your pick up point. My tours are completely flexible and I could adapt them to any of your need or willing.
