          Amazing Basque food/drink tour!
          Iker was an amazing guide! He took our family of 4 on a great food and drink tour of San Sebastián. Great food, great beer/wine, and a great host to give us history and introductions so some fantastic places. Iker asked us for our preferences and hit the nail right on the head with what we liked. Loved every dish he ordered for us! I highly recommend!!!

          Wonderful and Interesting Archetecture
          This building is very special with the lack of straight walls. For me the building is more interesting than some of the collections. I did enjoy the car collection which featured the James Bond car from Goldfinger but much of the art was of less interest to me. Definitely worth the visit though and it is a setting for much a recent Dan Brown book.

          La Rioja like a local!
          We had an incredible experience with Iker! From the moment we met at the airport to our last meal in La Rioja, Iker was knowledgable, fun, flexible and always smiling. Most impressive was definitely his knowledge of the region. We were given private tours several wineries and were able to meet the wine makers in almost ever scenario. We even were able to try a 1984 bottle at Conde de Los Andes...what a treat! The foodie aspect was OUTSTANDING! Each place better than the next. Word of advice always get whatever Iker tells you is the speciality. I tried ordering off the norm and regretted it (the meal was still wonderful but I was jealous of the other dishes LOL). From lunch at local favs to pinchos, the food was more delicious than words can describe. My favorite part was definitely pinchos night in Logrono. OMG! Love love loved it. Sightseeing was also a stellar experience. From visiting middle-evil towns like Laguardia to Logrono and finally Labastida, each unique and beautiful with incredible history and the kindest people. I can't image going to Spain and La Rioja, specifically without Iker. Thank you for helping make our trip so memorable!

          Best tour guide for Rioja and much more
          So you want to find the perfect guide to make sure your Rioja wine tasting trip is awesome? Good thing you're reading this review. Iker is your guy. He's smart, knowledgeable, funny and passionate but also takes the pulse of the group to design the tour so everyone is happy. Pretty hard to pull that off. The private tours and lunch he set up for us were off the charts. The delicious home cooked meal made us feel like we had a Basque grandmother looking after us and was such a great change of pace from the pintxos. Thank you Iker and BasqueGuides!

          No bad days in Rioja!
          Iker was an amazing host! It had been snowing in Rioja so the previous tour we booked was canceled due to the road conditions. We found Basque Guides online and decided to call to see if they would be willing to do the tour. Straight away Iker answered the phone and offered us the option to wait to see how the roads would hold up. When he let me know he could do the tour we were very excited with the options he had available. He suggested the option with 3 wineries and thats what we went with. He picked us up on time from our Airbnb in Bilbao and we enjoyed all the bodegas we visited. We let him know that we enjoyed Abuela style food so he took us to nice local place that had amazing food. We had LOTS of wine at the 3 bodegas so I encourage you if you go to eat big breakfast before going. I highly recommend booking with Iker it’s pricey but definitely worth the experience especially because he tailors the tour for whatever you’re looking for. I would definitely book with him again!

          An informative and accommodating guide, and delicious food!
          Iker is a fantastic and knowledgeable guide who was very accommodating to the vegetarian and the extremely picky eater in our crew. He chose very interesting and delicious food and wines for us, based on our tastes and preferences and was helpful with recommendations for the rest of our time in the area. Highly recommend!

          Fantastic experience
          Iker was a fantastic tour guide; he completely personalised the experience for us which was so greatly appreciated. He was punctual, informative (he provided us with a lot of details and information on the region and wines which we could not have discovered any other way), and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Iker and would highly recommend him and any of his tours. Thank you, Iker!

          4 day Basque coastal towns and a private wine tasting evening
          Iker is an exceptional guide who brings vast knowledge and passion to his tours. He is organized, punctual, warm and caring. He listened to what were wanted and delivered much much more. He is very keen on creating an exceptional customized experience. My husband and I are raving fans and will cherish our beautiful memories of the Basque Country. If you visit the region, he's the man!

        We booked a tour of the Biscay coast through Iker and GoWithGuide. We booked late and Iker was very accommodating. Daniel was our guide for the day. We had a wonderful day - heading out along the coast from Bilbao to places off the tourist trail - including Bermeo, Laga, Mandaka and Lekeitio. Daniel was a fantastic guide and we very
        much enjoyed his company. I would highly recommend this tour.

        We spent a half day touring the coast and visiting small Fishing villages with Iker soaking up the beauty of the Basque countryside. His pleasant style and experience made for a delightful four plus hours. Starting in San Sebastián he met us promptly at our hotel and whisked us off in his large, comfortable van to a beautiful lookout spot above the bay to take in the beautiful views. We then meandered along a quiet hilltop lane admiring the scenery, animals and overlooks. We visited several small town and enjoyed short strolls to see the old town.

        This was one of the highlights of our time in Spanish Basque County and I have no reservations recommending Iker to anyone looking to dive deeper into the history and culture of the area.

        When planning my itinerary for a multi-day jaunt up to San Sebastian, I researched several companies, based on their ability to create a customized and personalized experience on a cost-efective basis. Needless to say, Iker truly delivered. After providing Iker with a quick summary of my overall objectives of the trip, he quickly turned around several experiences to choose from, with recommendations. Once these were finalized, he developed a general schedule (to help me plan other activities outside of this private tour).

        Over the next several days, I had the opportunity to take a tour of Rioja (with a colleague of mine also attending on short notice - no problem!), heading out to the Txakoli wine region, walking around SB enjoying various pinxtos (and visiting a private cooking club), and hitting up one of the prominent cider houses outside of town. Altogether, a truly wonderful experience! The ultimate highlight was visiting a micro-vineyard, followed by lunch (and wine!) with the vitner and family in their home.

        Iker himself was personable, punctual, friendly and flexible. I noticed that he paid close attention to what I enjoyed, and would modify the remainder of the day accordingly. Overall, it felt much less like a tour and more like hanging out with an old friend. Would highly recommend.

        We would thoroughly recommend Iker and his pintxo tour of Donostia/San Sebastian, it was the highlight of our holiday. He was very knowledgeable and willing to share his passion for the town, even took to his very personal Gastronomic Society club, which we felt very privileged to be apart of.
        Iker took us to some fabulous Pintxo bars which we we certainly wouldn’t have tried if he wasn’t with us, and the pintxo and local drinks he recommended were just superb. Thank you Iker, we had a fantastic evening and will certainly be recommending you to all our family and friends.

        Our favorite part was the whole experience with Ike. To limit to one or two instances would be unfair to someone who takes a lot of learning and stamina to be for hours narrating about history, nature, life and today.

        We had a great time touring Pamplona with Iker. We walked the entire length of the route of running of the bulls and his knowledge of the tradition was incredible. We also toured the church to see the chapel of San Fermin and the fortress and city walls. The highlight of the trip was lunch in the cafe Iruña. Iker recommended the best local food and gave us so much history of Navarra. We also got the insider access to the side bar at Cafe Iruña to get pics with the statue of Hemingway leaning on the bar. A super memorable day for a bunch of Hemingway / Sun Also Rises fans.

        We spent 3 days with Iker, first day in Bilbao, second day touring Rioja then the third day touring the Basque coast. He is incredibly knowledgable, constantly entertaining, very thoughtful, very well connected in the area and a very good driver. A fantastic 3 days. Unhesitatingly recommend Iker.

        Iker was our guide for several days in and around Donostia-San Sebastian. He proved to be very affable and quite knowledgeable about the history of the area. We made a number of last minute requests and changes before and during the trip and he helped us get everything sorted out each time; from transport to sights to see at each town we visited. We also had the opportunity to visit a local cooking club in San Sebastian that Iker is a member of, which was a real treat for the foodies in our group. I also found some unexpected shared ground musically during some of our longer transits to local towns and got some good recommendations for new bands. A pleasant little surprise to top the day off.

        Overall I was very impressed with his professionalism and his good humor dealing with us. I would unhesitatingly recommend him if you are interested in touring the Basque country!
