An amazing day

Julian_B, Oct 2024

Mateo was our driver and guide for the day and was very polite and helpful. He explained what we would see. He had to translate in English and Spanish. We went to two bodegas and in one of them we were able to see the full process of wine making. We were a party of 4 and we were very happy and pleased with the whole experience, the bodegas, the food and Mateos company and attention to detail. We all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled you had a great experience with Mateo as your guide. We're glad you enjoyed the bodegas, the wine-making process, the food, and his attention to detail. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon!

Excellent tour!

We had an amazing time on this tour with Matteo! He was prompt, professional, knowledgable, and personable. To start, he picked up as directly at our hotel in a comfortable and immaculately clean vehicle. On the drive to Rioja, we got to learn a bit about the area. We had two pre-planned visits to wineries which were both excellent and both had snacks provided. The choice of wineries was clearly well thought-out and served to show the array of wine created in the area. The destination for lunch and choice of food was excellent. Matteo was an excellent tour guide; in addition to his knowledge it was an enjoyable day talking to a local. Would definitely do this tour again if I come back to area with new friends/family, and recommend this to anyone in the area.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Matteo, from the wineries to the food and his local insights. We appreciate your kind words and would love to welcome you back anytime. Hope to see you again soon!

Beautiful scenery and relaxing wine tastings in Rioja

Myja_P, Sep 2023

Matteo was personable and very knowledgeable on the Rioja region. He was on time picking us up from Bilbao. We really enjoyed the wineries that Matteo selected for us and lunch in Laguardia was great. We would highly recommend Matteo as a guide to others.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

"Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour of the Rioja region. It was a pleasure to guide you and share my knowledge with you. I'm glad you liked the wineries and the lunch in Laguardia. If you ever plan to visit again or have friends looking for a similar experience, I would be more than happy to assist. Cheers!" Matteo

Like an old friend sharing their favorite places

Katie_R, Jul 2023

Mateo’s tour to the Rioja wine region was a fun, casual experience, like an old friend sharing their favorite places. His knowledge of the region and friendly personality makes him easy to talk to as you ride through the countryside. The visited wineries are chosen carefully and give you a taste of traditional Rioja wine as well as the emerging non-traditional wine that have a personality as interesting as their makers. Finally, the lunch of local Pintxos and walk through the nearby town was a wonderful end to the day. Never in a hurry, we got to appreciate the architecture as Mateo shared his knowledge of the history of the town and region. In the short amount of time we had, Mateo became a fast friend and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him the next time we’re in the Basque region of Spain. ¡Gracias por todo mi amigo!

I look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back when you're in the Basque region again. Matteo
