Iker gave a virtual presentation via Internet of his Bilbao and Guggenheim Museum Private tour. It was very interesting to get to know this amazing city and Iker showed a lot of impressing photos so that everybody could perfectly imagine the tour. At the same time, he answered a lot of individual questions, showing a very good knowledge of art, the city's history, food etc. All in all, we got a vivid image of Bilbao and will book him as soon as we will be able to visit this city for real.

Can, getting to know the city, its architecture, history and traditions, be interesting and not boring at all? Well, difficult, specially if we talk about San Sebastian (Basque Country, Spain) so beautiful city, that just see it leaves breathless. When I came to live to San Sebastian in 2006 I was totally impressed by the beauty of this town, however I did not discovered the soul of the city until I experienced the unrivalled city tour with Ikusnahi this summer. We have been walking around the city with Ania, who explained everything in such amazing and interesting way, natural and very funny at the same time! She left space for open discussion for you to begin to discover for yourself, in an imperceptible way, that you know the city more deeply, understanding the local culture and people much better.

Diego took me from Donosti to Hondarribi where we tried the best pintxos ever! We also walked the Talaia Bidea, a trail with stunning views along the coastline next to the lighthouse. Then he managed to show me Sokoa, San Juan de Luz & Gethary. Mind-blowing! One place better than the other. Diego is a very well informed guide who would share with me bits and pieces of history, geology and so many good tips. The architecture is spectacular and the natural beauty of this corner of the world is just incredible. I strongly recommend anyone out there to go on a journey with Diego.

The delights of the French coast can be found within a short distance from Bilbao. Tiny and lovely fishing villages like Saint Jean de Luz, where time seems to have stopped centuries ago, or nice villages on the beach such as Biarritz where people from all around the world spend their summer enjoying the Basque gastronomy and surf in the same town. Let Bayonne impress you, a charming small city full of historic buildings and a lovely quaint downtown, get fascinated with Biarritz or visit Hendaye, a town in the border between France and Spain witness of many historical events throughout the last 200 years. Do not miss the opportunity to visit the fantastic towns of the Basque French shore while you stay in Bilbao, and do it with the comfort of having local guides and private transportation from the convenience of your hotel entrance.

This day tour allowed us to see the most of San Sebastian and Basque Coast in one day. There were a lot of incredible sights. We had only one day to visit the Basque Country and we were really satisfied with this tour. Our tour guide Josu really helped us make the most of it. The food was really good with lot of pintxos options to choose and different wines to pair with the food. I would highly recommend txakoli local wine. It was greatt day with a great guide.
