Iker was an amazing guide! He took our family of 4 on a great food and drink tour of San Sebastián. Great food, great beer/wine, and a great host to give us history and introductions so some fantastic places. Iker asked us for our preferences and hit the nail right on the head with what we liked. Loved every dish he ordered for us! I highly recommend!!!

Wow what an excellent and exciting experience. Iker knows the best Tapas in town and makes the tour unforgettable! If you plan to go to San Sebastián and want to eat and drinks the best… book Iker!

This building is very special with the lack of straight walls. For me the building is more interesting than some of the collections. I did enjoy the car collection which featured the James Bond car from Goldfinger but much of the art was of less interest to me. Definitely worth the visit though and it is a setting for much a recent Dan Brown book.

We had an incredible experience with Iker! From the moment we met at the airport to our last meal in La Rioja, Iker was knowledgable, fun, flexible and always smiling. Most impressive was definitely his knowledge of the region. We were given private tours several wineries and were able to meet the wine makers in almost ever scenario. We even were able to try a 1984 bottle at Conde de Los Andes...what a treat! The foodie aspect was OUTSTANDING! Each place better than the next. Word of advice always get whatever Iker tells you is the speciality. I tried ordering off the norm and regretted it (the meal was still wonderful but I was jealous of the other dishes LOL). From lunch at local favs to pinchos, the food was more delicious than words can describe. My favorite part was definitely pinchos night in Logrono. OMG! Love love loved it. Sightseeing was also a stellar experience. From visiting middle-evil towns like Laguardia to Logrono and finally Labastida, each unique and beautiful with incredible history and the kindest people. I can't image going to Spain and La Rioja, specifically without Iker. Thank you for helping make our trip so memorable!

So you want to find the perfect guide to make sure your Rioja wine tasting trip is awesome? Good thing you're reading this review. Iker is your guy. He's smart, knowledgeable, funny and passionate but also takes the pulse of the group to design the tour so everyone is happy. Pretty hard to pull that off. The private tours and lunch he set up for us were off the charts. The delicious home cooked meal made us feel like we had a Basque grandmother looking after us and was such a great change of pace from the pintxos. Thank you Iker and BasqueGuides!

Iker was an amazing host! It had been snowing in Rioja so the previous tour we booked was canceled due to the road conditions. We found Basque Guides online and decided to call to see if they would be willing to do the tour. Straight away Iker answered the phone and offered us the option to wait to see how the roads would hold up. When he let me know he could do the tour we were very excited with the options he had available. He suggested the option with 3 wineries and thats what we went with. He picked us up on time from our Airbnb in Bilbao and we enjoyed all the bodegas we visited. We let him know that we enjoyed Abuela style food so he took us to nice local place that had amazing food. We had LOTS of wine at the 3 bodegas so I encourage you if you go to eat big breakfast before going. I highly recommend booking with Iker it’s pricey but definitely worth the experience especially because he tailors the tour for whatever you’re looking for. I would definitely book with him again!

Iker is a fantastic and knowledgeable guide who was very accommodating to the vegetarian and the extremely picky eater in our crew. He chose very interesting and delicious food and wines for us, based on our tastes and preferences and was helpful with recommendations for the rest of our time in the area. Highly recommend!

Tasting pintxos in the old town and hearing about the history of San Sebastián. Iker is very friendly and knowledgeable . Highly recommend !

Iker was a fantastic tour guide; he completely personalised the experience for us which was so greatly appreciated. He was punctual, informative (he provided us with a lot of details and information on the region and wines which we could not have discovered any other way), and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Iker and would highly recommend him and any of his tours. Thank you, Iker!

Iker is an exceptional guide who brings vast knowledge and passion to his tours. He is organized, punctual, warm and caring. He listened to what were wanted and delivered much much more. He is very keen on creating an exceptional customized experience. My husband and I are raving fans and will cherish our beautiful memories of the Basque Country. If you visit the region, he's the man!

We did an online tour of Bilbao with Iker and it was really interesting and well organized. Big recommendation!
