We had a great tour with Iker as we learned a lot about the Basque culture, history of San Sebastian and tasted pintxos with several typical drinks. The highlight was Iker taking us to his private Dinner club which we had read about prior to the trip and he explained the tradition of the club and how it works on honour. Iker is very enthusiastic and loves what he does which shows in the way he guides. We would highly recommend him and this tour! Norine Bevan - Markham, Ontario Canada

Norine Bevan from Canada

Thanks Iker-I wanted an education on Basque culture and received all I expected, and more, including access to sites not available to most tourists. Iker provided very flexible touring options suited for me rather than any set and rigid program and this was very valuable. The program was arranged with punctuality and flexible as well, so a lot was achieved with no fuss.

Hendrik Pruul from Australia

Our guide Iker was very professional, personable and friendly. He showed passion and true interest in getting us engaged with the local history, daily living and culture of San Sebastian. It showed that Iker is an experinced and knowledgeable guide. The tour was a walking tour and we were able to go at our own pace. We visited the main sights and places that Iker regularly vists for pintxos and gathering with friends; not necessarily the tourist places. Thank you Iker, San Sebastian is very charming!

Anita Montaner from United States

Iker was very personable made good adjustments based on our preferences and was very thorough in explanations and providing backdrop. Great personality and can tell he really enjoys his job. He also shared insightful information past our tour. Recommended other sites that were very helpful and this helped make our vacation much more enjoyable. Iker is a great asset for your organization, and tourism. We highly recommend to any and everyone!
