“ 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

Thank you very much for your review!! Glad to read that you enjoyed so much. Hope to see you soon back in San Sebastian or Bilbao Best regards Iker Bardaji
