“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!
