Biscay (Basque: Bizkaia; Spanish: Vizcaya) is a province of Spain located just south of the Bay of Biscay. The name also refers to a historical territory of the Basque Country, heir of the ancient Lordship of Biscay. Its capital city is Bilbao. It is one of the most prosperous and important provinces of Spain as a result of the massive industrialization in the last years of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century. Since the deep deindustrialization of the 1970s, the economy has come to rely more on the services sector.

I did the 4 day tour - first rate stuff. Zach and Irene were tremendous and super- friendly. I was picked up at my hotel daily and driven round the Basque country in great style. Whilst I was expecting Guernica/Gernika to be special, ( which it was) there were a few other gems which I wouldn't have found on my own, the fishing town of Bermeo the salt mine and the sheep farm to name but 3 unexpected high-lights. They gave good recommendations on restaurants, and the few I tried did not disappoint. Highly recommended.

My husband and I visited Spain for 3.5 weeks in October 2019, and our day in Rioja with Northern Spain Gastronomy was the highlight. We were very impressed with the level of service we received from Irene, she was friendly, fun, knowledgeable and helpful...absolutely amazing! Irene was delight to deal with and assisted us coordinate everything several weeks leading up to our arrival in Bilbao. We worked together on the schedule and she made sure the whole day was personalized for us, making adjustments to better suit our interest and dietary requirements. Our tour started from Bilbao airport, Irene picked us up on time in her very confortable Range Rover Sport. We made our way to the Rioja region admiring the beautiful scenery over a quick historical introduction to the Basque country. We visited two wineries before lunch and a third in the afternoon followed by a stroll through the gorgeous medieval village of Laguardia and a couple of secret photo stops to admire some of the incredible architecture of the region, the buildings of Marques de Riscal and Ysios wineries. We enjoyed the premium tastings which were very organised and insightful. Overall it was a well-balanced mix of wineries, traditional and contemporary which made for a good introduction to Rioja wines. The traditional Riojano lunch was delicious, the food, wine and setting is something we still talk about five months later! Everything ran smoothly from start to finish and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Rioja region. Thank you again Irene! We can't wait to return soon!!! ????????

Can’t say enough great things about our day-tour with Andoni. As big GOT fans, it was an absolute blast to visit the filming locations for Dragonstone (Yes, you visit more than one!). The hotel pick-up from San Sebastian was a huge plus, as the locations we visited were around an hour west of San Sebastian. Andoni was as professional as they come and ensured we were completely comfortable and relaxed the entire day. He showed us the best kept secrets throughout the area and truly got to know us. We would have never had seen anything close to what we did without his guidance. My wife and I both agree that this was the highlight of our entire vacation. Would reccomend 10/10.
