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.

The medieval flavor of Olite Castle makes it a unique experience even for the seasoned traveler. Discovering Pamplona, with its quaint old quarter and city walls, and all the spots where the crazy and wild happens during the San Fermin festivities: the running of the bulls' path through the streets, the town hall square where the 'chupinazo' (kick off of the festivities) takes place,... and many more!

This day tour allowed us to see the most of San Sebastian and Basque Coast in one day. There were a lot of incredible sights. We had only one day to visit the Basque Country and we were really satisfied with this tour. Our tour guide Josu really helped us make the most of it. The food was really good with lot of pintxos options to choose and different wines to pair with the food. I would highly recommend txakoli local wine. It was greatt day with a great guide.
3. Private tour of Pamplona from San Sebastian with 3 course meal

All our tours will respect Spanish social distancing rules at all times and the guide will wear a mask in closed spaces. Pamplona is a city with a lot of history to tell, magnificent arquitecture, culture and exquisite gastronomy. Pamplona is also host to the world famous bull race that takes place through the streets of the old quarter up to the bull ring. On this experience we will replicate the race step by step and after we would also discover all the best highlights of this city with an expert guide. Pamplona has a medieval fortress called “la cuidadella”. This fortress has some very interesting history that I will share with you while we walk through it’s gardens, surrounded by its enormous walls. A traditional Basque 3 course meal is included in the highly reputed Cafe Iruña.
Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Bottled water, 2 way transport included, Bilingual British/Basque guide, 3 course meal Is included.

Since we arrived in Spain nearly 2 weeks ago, we have participated in several tours as we traveled across Spain. All very enriching, insightful, and worth while. As the cliché goes “save the best for last!” Jamie, tour operator/owner, picked us up bright and early from our hotel and off we went to Bilbao. Jamie brought along his cousin/operator in training, which we were totally cool with and actually it added another level to the tour. Compared to our other tours, they ultimately felt, for the like of a better word, like tours. You were paying someone to show you around. There was some invisible boundary that separated operator from client, totally fine but it feels fake sometimes. This tour felt different, it felt like a couple friends taking a road trip from San Sebastián to Bilbao. One of the friends being really knowledgeable, Jamie. One of the friend working off that energy, Jaime cousin. The other friends going along for the ride, us. It was refreshing and fantastic. Having conversations as we drove between the two cities made the time whiz by so quickly. That’s a plus! Normally, one of us, fiancé or I, are falling asleep as we get to a destination. Not this time around, Jaime and his cousin were really engaging. Admittedly, I had some doubts that we wouldn’t get a breathe of Bilbao in a day but, I have to be honest, we really felt like we got immersed in the city. He guided us through the streets and history. Showed us local spots and let us on our own at the Guggenheim to take in the art. Afterwards we chatted our way back to our hotel. We could have hung out with both Jaime and his cousin all day. Next time, we are back in town, we will take him up on one of his other tours. Highly recommend having him show you around. Super knowledge and engaging. I can not recommend this tour any higher.

Javier did an absolutely over the top tour for my wife, daughter, granddaughter and myself. He was able to make it a great tour for all of us with ages that range from 18 to 75.

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.

The explanations provided during all the tour were accurate and very extensive but at the same time funny. The tour guide was fantastic. He was a local young guy full of energy and good vibes. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are visiting San Sebastian.
10. Tour of the Zugarramurdi witches museum, cave and town with pintxo.
The witches of zugarramurdi is the name used for Spain’s best known witch real court case and the place where the highest amount of witches where killed in all of Europe. The witches lived in the small village of zugarramurdi and the case was taken ahead by the court of the Spanish Inquisition in Logroño. Now a days the village conserves most it's old architecture and has a very creepy feel to it. In this tour we will drive 30-40 minutes through the Navarra mountain land up to the zugarramurdi village and visit the cave where the witches gathered to do they’re “aquelarre” and plot against the village people. Our next stop will be at the museum of witchcraft and history of zugarramurdi where we will spend our next hour or so.. To finish this tour with a savoury feeling we will enjoy a delicious local pintxo lunch before departing back to our Hotel or apartment.
