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
Rioja is the most famous wine region in Spain and it is only 1, 5 hours from S. Sebastian. This land has all: nature, history, culture and gastronomy. Hand in hand with an expert local guide, I invite you to discover this marvellous region It is always a pleasure to run this tour with the clients since I enjoy it as much as they do: I am a foodie (member of a local gastronomy club) but also a wine lover, so this experience is enjoyable always as if it was the first time. Of course what I like the most is to see my travellers absorbing my same passion in the tour, amazed by our great wines and local gastronomy savours and also surprise them with some curiosities off the beaten track We start in Haro village with its traditional 19th century wineries, then head towards Laguardia making several stops at other wineries along the way. I like to combine some old traditional wineries with more modern ones. Some buildings are spectacular like the Marques del Riscal Winery built by F. Guery Live it to believe it
