About Tour Guide Iker B.

Born in San Sebastian, Basque Country, I’m an enthusiastic person who loves travelling and sharing my experiences with people.

I have visited over 60 countries and guided travellers for over 12 years.

After travelling around the world in my last big trip, during 14 months, I decided to set up this bussiness to offer the travellers an unique view of the Basque Country & Rioja and surroundings like a local.

I have a long experience guiding people along the Basque Country, specially around San Sebastian, Bilbao, Pamplona, Vitoria as well as the French-Basque Country and the famous Rioja Wine region.

As well as I travel abroad often, I love to work showing my city and surroundings, guiding people to the best places, not only to the touristic ones, but to the off-the-track ones too. Always adding some of my little stories and anecdotes of each place making the journey more enjoyable and unique.

Living in a place with a food-culture like us, it adds an extra value to my tours, being a member of a Gastronomy Club as I am (famous «sociedad gastronónica») in San Sebastian .

This is only one of some of the tips I would offer you, considering that the only way to visit and access to them is being invited by a member! Great experience not to be missed!!

Would you like to listen to some of the stories I have to share, while I show you the beautiful country where I live in is? If you are looking for real Basque guides, you found it.

Come and feel the experience of the Basque Country with real local Basque guides! Ongi etorri! («Welcome» in Basque)

Important

All my tours are completely flexible so I could adapt them to any need or willing.

Wonderful day out with Iker

Our day with Iker was perfect. He organized our trip exactly the way we asked for and was extremally accommodating (i.e. stopping to look at something in a place that was originally not scheduled) He was extremally knowledgeable about local culture, local history, local food, etc. We had a wonderful day out!!! 10/10 for Iker

Rioja Wineries Private Tour w/Daniel from Iker tours

Our private tour of the Rioja wineries with our guide Daniel Gonzales was fantastic. The wineries selected were beautiful offering excellent wines with very generous tasting. Daniel was very knowledgeable of the Rioja region and wines in general. Daniel also provided some great restaurants to try in San Sebastián and Barcelona. His recommendations did NOT disappoint! The lunch provided with the tour was equally impressive. A truly traditional experience of local cuisine! The family had a great experience. Highly recommend this tour and ask for Daniel!

A comprehensive tour highlighting the old and new of Bilabo

This was an independent tour for two. Lker was a professional tour guide who is proud of this Basque heritage and insured that he toured the tour to our desires and our pace. It was interesting to listen to Lker tell and showed how the museum initially impacted upon the Bilbao community, but how it continually does. Lker do not only showed us the inside of the museum but explained and showed how the building moves throughout the day with the changing light and Gehry's version and interpretation his inspiring architectural design. We travelled by vehicle and foot through the markets and the old city and Lker advised us of Basque traditions (food and culture) and answered all our questions (many). He is a safe driver and the vehicle was clean. Would recommend tour and worth its cost. You cannot get that knowledge, passion and commitment from reading Google reviews
