Basque country at its best.

Dario_S, Jul 2024

Our tour guide, Daniel, picked us up at the hotel and drove us to BILBAO where we took-in some views of the city and then made our way to the centerpiece of our visit - The Guggenheim. All I can say is The Museum itself (the building) is THE ART and all the amazing art inside it's walls seems to be there in a supporting role... what an amazing building; what an inspiring space. After a couple of hours in the Guggenheim, we proceeded to the coastline and took pictures in beautiful and historical locations such as Bakio, Bermeo before ending up in a picturesque, country restaurant called Almiketxu, which specializes Basque cooking including grilled meats and fresh fish - food was delicious and all paired perfectly with the local TXAKOLI wine. An amazing day made perfect by our knowledgeable guide who took the time to ask questions so he could adapt the day according to our interests. I recommend this tour and specially recommend our guide Daniel Gonzalez.

We took a Baskme private tour which was excellent. Andoni was extremely informative and knowledgeable, and looked after us very well.

Touring in Sebastian and Bilbao with Iker

Charles_T, Apr 2024

We had never been to Basque contry....best part was our guide Iker Bardaji and the tour company that he works with Baskme, private tours....after Iker of course was the Amazing Guggenheim Museum....you have to see it to believe it....then there was the history of the Basque people, their language, culture, their food. Iker was totally flexible with his time and how long....we chose not to walk to the Game of Thrones Island....that would have taken way too long....had a great lunch in the small town there. Hake fish in a green sauce, delicious and of course local wine. Charles (Tom) Thompson and Prima Penalosa

Excellent tour!

Daniel is an excellent tour guide, He provided us with a memorable, day-long tour of the Basque region around San Sebastian. We especially appreciate the invaluable information that made our time at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao a highlight of our trip. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the Basque region. We highly recommend Daniel.

Bilbao & much more!

DEBBIE_H, Mar 2024

Andoni, our private tour guide, was very informative and efficient. Took us to the charming town of Bilbao..Guggenheim museum was a great work of art. We made a quick trip to Zumaia, a Game of thrones picturesque film location. Our guide even went out of his way to book us a delicious lunch at the famous, Kaia Kaipe and introduced us to a local drink called Txakola. He Excellently provided us with all the information we needed to know about our tour and much more. Eskerrik asko, Andoni!

Andoni made the tour

Laura_W, Jul 2023

Andoni was an amazing tour guide- knowledgeable, relaxed, and flexible to give us options when we wanted to grab coffee and a snack. It was a pleasure to go to this area with an experienced local who could tell us all the helpful, important stuff. I really enjoyed having lunch at the Game of Thrones rock area. And Andoni gave us restaurant recommendations in San Sebastian which were all spot-on. We ended up going to at least 2-3 of his recommended restaurants and really enjoyed each one.

Ysabel_T, Aug 2022

Could not recommend this tour enough! The sights (including stops at Bilbao’s Guggenheim museum, San Juan Gaztelugatxe, Mundaka beach, and Guernica), are breathtaking. The highlight for our family, however, was being able to learn about the Basque culture and history from Mikel, our guide, who gamely answered all our questions and made us feel as though we were touring with a knowledgeable friend. If you get the opportunity to visit the region, definitely book your tours through BaskMe.

Vistas espectaculares, gran paseo por ciudades interesantes.

CESAR_C, Apr 2024

Andonie fue nuestro guía y se encargó de aprovechar cada minuto del día de una manera eficiente y sensacional! El museo Guggenheim es muy moderno les gustó a mis hijos, el paseo por la ciudad vieja de Bilbao es interesante, también pasamos por el estadio de fútbol San Mamés. Luego nos condujo por otros pueblitos preciosos, donde visitamos el Santuario de Loyola! La casa de San Ignacio, su escultura,, etc. un lugar que inunda de paz y espiritualidad. Más adelante nos detuvimos en Zumaia con espectaculares acantilados al Mar Cantábrico, tomamos fotos con colores impresionantes. También nos detuvimos en Getaria a contemplar el doble arcoíris… y paseamos por la ciudad vieja hasta la estatua de El Cano (quien recibió los honores que debieron ser para Magallanes). De regreso, se quedó un guante en la camioneta, amablemente Andonie al día siguente lo llevó de regresó al hotel! Gran detalle… amable y buen humor!
