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.

The explanations provided during all the tour were accurate and very extensive but at the same time funny. The tour guide was fantastic. He was a local young guy full of energy and good vibes. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are visiting San Sebastian.

I cannot recommend this day trip highly enough. Ander provided the most amazing day - hotel pickup, beautiful sights, history, cultural information, and treats along the way. The stop at each town was incredibly memorable. We also had a great stop at the Spanish-French border for a coffee and incredible views. If you're looking for a special day that will take you away frm the tourist-heavy sites in Donostia-San Sebastian, this is the tour for you. Ander, thank you so much for your warmth and for a day that we will never forget. If we visit again your beautiful country, you will see us for a repeat tour! Brian Couch and Flo Couch

Tiny and lovely fishing villages like Orio can be discovered, where time seems to have stopped long time ago, or nice villages on the beach such as Zarautz where people from all around the world spend their summer enjoying the Basque culture, gastronomy and surf in the same town. Blow your mind in Getaria where Juan Sebastian de Elcano, the first man who went around the world was born, where Txakoli mostly is produced and where the Balenciaga Museum is located. Finally visit Zumaia, the town chosen by many film makers to record sitcoms like the last season of Game of Thrones or "Spanish Affair", a very famous Spanish movie. Do not lose the opportunity to visit the fantastic towns of Guipuzcoa shore.

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!!! ????????

This tour will respect Spanish social distancing rules at all times and the guide will wear a mask at all times in closed spaces. Bilbao has a vibrant, avantgarde feel to it... You’ll see for yourself straight away that it exudes modernity. From it’s origins as an industrial hub, it has evolved into an international reference point for urban design and has set the standard as a model of urban regeneration. if we had to stand out one regeneration that has secured Bilbao's place on the international stage that would have to be the Guggenheim. It can’t be denied that since it’s construction it has become a great highlight. In this tour we will visit Bilbao's casco viejo with a stop for some traditional Bilbao style pintxos. After we will continue our walk up to the church of san Antón, that is the oldest of Bilbao. Then visit the Ribera market, the biggest indoor market in Europe and walk along the river enjoying the contrast of old and new Bilbao all the way our Guggenheim visit.

Inclusions: Private transportation, Pintxo tasting in Bilbaos plaza nueva, Guggenheim day pass , Bottled water, Air-conditioned vehicle
