Karima is a delight to be with and her knowledge of Galicia is excellent. Her food selections on the walk are excellent, abundant and the highest quality. She went with us to the Santiago de Compostela market and helped us purchase all of our favorite foods, then helped us arrange to have the food prepared by a local restaurant in the market! As we prepared for our trip she even gave us tips on travel and created an amazing experience for us.

Spain is widely famous for its wines' high quality, and the cradle of these wines, the land that provides its name to the apellation of La Rioja, is not far from our city. Enjoy a visit to a wine cellar (bodega), having a relaxing walk through the wineyards, learning the wine-making process from the grape harvest to the maturation and finishing the experience with a wine tasting  with a expert and a complete lunch with local products and the best wines. Definitely the best way to know the basics of the best Spanish wines!

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.

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.

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, 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.

I'd rank this as one of my top three tour experiences ever. Jorge, the tour guide, is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, caring, and kind. His main goal is to make certain that each one of his tour guests enjoys his/her experience, and he certainly goes out of his way to make this happen. During the tour you will visit 6 of Madrid's "secret" food and beverage establishments and have something to eact and drink in each one of them. By the time the tour is over, you will not be hungry, that is for sure - so don't plan on having lunch the day of your tour. This will be lunch - and more! Jorge does not rush his guests at any one of the 6 stops. There was plenty of time to eat, drink, converse, and to learn from Jorge much about the history and charm of his beloved city. There isn't another foodie tour in Madrid which can compare in quality or level of enjoyment. I feel certain that you will enjoy the experience as much as I did. In fact, next time I am in Madrid, I will book the same exact tour with the same exact tour guide - and I know I will enjoy it just as much as the first time. That's saying a lot!
