About Tour Guide Julen L.
Since 2015 I have dedicated myself to offering experiences that I really love in the Basque Country. I am a native of here and my experiences are related to Basque sport, gastronomy and culture. My service is also consumed by Basque people, so not a service made for tourists. If not what it is, a product that came from my heart and really the experiences that I offer are based on activities that I am passionate about and I am the first interested in enjoying them. And the truth is that I already work with an agency that offers unique experiences, but I need to work with more to have more work, and I believe that you can be a good collaborator for me, because it seems that we coincide in our philosophy of offering unique experiences and unrepeatable.
Important
I can do tours in the French Basque territory : for example Biarritz.

“TV Crew Says Thanks!”
Julen was so warm and welcoming to Basque Country and helped us arrange everything we needed to film a segment for an Irish travel show this past month. We couldn't have asked for a better host and guide and everything we heard back from the crew about San Sebastian was how wonderful it was, with thanks to Julen for putting is in touch with such interesting people! We'd highly recommend Julen for all your travel needs.

Ooo Brittny, So glad to know that your team is happy with my service. They was very nice with me too, so it was a big pleasure to work with them. The only shame is not meeting you in person, because from what we've talked about, you seem like a lovely person. Many thanks for taking time to write this nice review. Huge hug, health and much love from Basque country !!!

Born in San Sebastian, Basque Country, I’m an enthusiastic person who loves travelling and sharing my experiences with people. I have visited over 60 countries and guided travellers for over 12 years. After travelling around the world in my last big trip, during 14 months, I decided to set up this bussiness to offer the travellers an unique view of the Basque Country & Rioja and surroundings like a local. I have a long experience guiding people along the Basque Country, specially around San Sebastian, Bilbao, Pamplona, Vitoria as well as the French-Basque Country and the famous Rioja Wine region. As well as I travel abroad often, I love to work showing my city and surroundings, guiding people to the best places, not only to the touristic ones, but to the off-the-track ones too. Always adding some of my little stories and anecdotes of each place making the journey more enjoyable and unique. Living in a place with a food-culture like us, it adds an extra value to my tours, being a member of a Gastronomy Club as I am (famous «sociedad gastronónica») in San Sebastian . This is only one of some of the tips I would offer you, considering that the only way to visit and access to them is being invited by a member! Great experience not to be missed!! Would you like to listen to some of the stories I have to share, while I show you the beautiful country where I live in is? If you are looking for real Basque guides, you found it. Come and feel the experience of the Basque Country with real local Basque guides! Ongi etorri! («Welcome» in Basque)
