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.

We really enjoyed this day. We visited a charming winery and were driven by Alex to several spots in the countryside which were fantastic, specially a little romanic church in the middle of nowhere. We also had the chance of visiting a few medieval towns full of history. Really worthy.

Iker gave a virtual presentation via Internet of his Bilbao and Guggenheim Museum Private tour. It was very interesting to get to know this amazing city and Iker showed a lot of impressing photos so that everybody could perfectly imagine the tour. At the same time, he answered a lot of individual questions, showing a very good knowledge of art, the city's history, food etc. All in all, we got a vivid image of Bilbao and will book him as soon as we will be able to visit this city for real.

What makes Bayonne unique are the cobbled streets, the narrow streets, the very beautiful old town with its Basque half-timbered houses, the charming shops, the spectacular facades along the waterfront of the Nive. Bayonne invites you to stroll, eat and drink in the shade of trees and let the city take over. Let yourself be seduced by the capital of chocolate. I am happy to show you this Basque metropolis, embedded in 2 rivers, with a 2,000-year history and a unique, intact old town.

Inclusions: The city tour will be adapted to your wishes.

My wife and I and two teen age daughters took this tour from Steffan and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Steffan has a great personality and a lot of knowledge, so that made the entire tour a delight. He entertained many questions from us and made helpful recommendations on where to eat and other local attractions. If I visit Saint Jean de Luz again I would like to take another tour with Steffan. His fee is reasonable and his knowledge is vast.

Diego took me from Donosti to Hondarribi where we tried the best pintxos ever! We also walked the Talaia Bidea, a trail with stunning views along the coastline next to the lighthouse. Then he managed to show me Sokoa, San Juan de Luz & Gethary. Mind-blowing! One place better than the other. Diego is a very well informed guide who would share with me bits and pieces of history, geology and so many good tips. The architecture is spectacular and the natural beauty of this corner of the world is just incredible. I strongly recommend anyone out there to go on a journey with Diego.
