We had a wonderful evening. We ate, drank and learned so much. Our guide was able to maneuver through the crowd and enabled us to taste and enjoy much more than we would have been able to manage on our own. Thanks Gonzalo

We met up with Gorka as arranged. From the very beginning we felt like we were with a friend who knew the area very well. Lots of information given and taken to great places to try the food and drinks. Time went very quickly! Highly recommend.

Iker was excellent! We had 15 family members visiting the Basque country and we hired Iker for a Pinxtos tour upon arrival. Iker was organized, professional, fun and full of energy. Iker went above and beyond to answer questions and help us plan an amazing week in Basque Country.

We took this tour the first night in San Sebastian and it was perfect. The historical information was great and the pintxos were the best. I have to eat gluten free and Gonzalo managed my needs well so I had great options.

We had an amazing experience with Basque Guides and loved our Pinxtos tour!!! Our guide, Gonzalo, was awesome...he was so much fun and it was great to have a local guide to share their knowledge of San Sebastián culture and passion for food and wine. We loved all the Pinxtos we tried and definitely stepped out of our comfort zone. Navigating the various bars on a crowded Sunday afternoon would have been so difficult without Gonzalo. So glad we had this experience.

Excellent experience. Guide was fun and informative. Asks about food preferences and allergies, and then a great walk thru town with stops at bars. Great evening.

Our private walking tour of San Sebastián with Iker was a highlight of our visit to the area. He was quite knowledgeable and the tour was the perfect mix of history and culture. It was a great orientation to the city and helped us enjoy and make the most of our time in the city. We would highly recommend Iker and Basque Tours and look forward to taking another tour with Iker on a return trip to the area.

Fabulous pintxos tour with Iker. Every plate was better than the last. Wonderful wines and maybe the best dessert I’ve ever had. We also got a lot of interesting information about San Sebastián. Definitely recommend this tour. You will be glad you went. GO HUNGRY!
