My name is Alex and I am from San Sebastian in the Basque Country. I currently work here in my hometown as a tour guide and I provide private tours and outdoor activities for my clients. I feel very blessed to work in this industry. I love to meet people and share with them the wonders of the Basque Country while also learning new things about other cultures from my clients. My first experience working with tourists was as a surf instructor on the beaches of San Sebastian. I had to ask "can I really do what I love the most and make a living that way?" I am a nature lover, history buff, foodie and outdoor sports fanatic. With that first step 10 years ago, I finally found a way to combine all of these facets of my personality into the perfect profession and my tour company was born. Over the years, I have gained experience and knowledge with every client I serve. Each year is better than the last with more tours and options and my clients are happy with the experiences we provide. These last years I have grown both personally and professionally and I am proud of the reputation my company has made for itself. My personal goal is to exceed my client's expectations and I apply that to each and every trip which I still guide personally. You know what they say, "if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life". That pretty much sums up how I feel about San Sebastian Trips. I hope to see you in the beautiful Basque Country soon! ESIC Business & Marketing school WSET 3 Cooking member at the gastronomic club in San Sebastian. 10 years of experience as a tour guide.

Overview of your San Sebastian tour
San Sebastian is very famous for its gastronomy, for its bars and restaurants. In this case we'll focus on getting to know the city in depth and exploring its local cuisine through the pintxos (basque tapas). We'll know the most beautiful and emblematic places of the city. We'll also enjoy the local traditional food by the hands of an expert guide: ME, I am a Cooking member at the gastronomic club of the city, so I am in to it with passion! It can be challenging to ask for something to eat in these bars with so many so many options: but don't worry, I take care of it! There are many bars with good pintxos but we will go to the best ones. The ones I've been going to all my life with my father when I was little and I still go nowadays. I like to start with the fish and seafood specialties to continue with the meats. As far as wine is concerned, we start with the traditional white wines we call txakoli, perfect to accompany fish and then we move on to red wines with the meats. Best sights and savours Tour!
