Private basque country tour
anabS8551RL, 04-08-2020
My husband and I took 2 whole day tours with BaskMe owner Andoni; one from Bilbao and the other from San Sebastián. Touring with Andoni is like having a basque friend that immerses you in his culture. He is very friendly and flexible. You can tailor your private tours to your interests and needs. He is also very knowledgeable about his country’s history and culture. The views from Zumaia including the flysch and the San Telmo church (seen on “Spanish affair” movie) are breathtaking. A visit to Txacoli Elkano is a must for wine lovers. We did tours from Bilbao and San Sebastián and visited Dan Juan de Gaztelugatxe (seen on GOT) and multiple picture perfect beach towns Bermeo, Elantxobe, Getaria, Mundaka and Urdaibai. A visit to an Idiazabal cheese farm where we got to see the sheep being herd by the dog and the process of making cheese was another highlight. They also offer wine tours to Rioja alavesa, which is also a must visit location. We had a wonderful time and will tour will BaskMe me once again when we go back to Basque country.
Great tour with a great guide

Androni was a terrific guide. We had a fabulous tour and enjoyed the day immensely. We saw the Guggenheim Museum, toured Bilbao, went to Getaria, saw the Basilica of San Ignatius Loyola and the beautiful Basque coast. I would definitely tour with Androni again. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and very friendly.

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.
Fantastic Tour

Ania was the best guide we could have hoped for. Her tour was thoughtfully planned and she was so knowledgeable, patient and fun! We learned so much about Basque culture and history, which made all of the sites so much more meaningful. There are too many highlights from which to choose, but the architecture of the Guggenheim lived up to the hype! We highly recommend this tour!
Guaranteed a wonderful time & good memories ✨

I booked Andoni’s time twice during my stay in San Sebastian - Spain. Both tours were private to our group (party of 2) we took a tour to the City of San Sebastian and Bilbao and the country side and coast. Andoni was passionate and knowledgable about the history and culture of the Basque country, attentive and friendly, personalized the tour to our interests and needs, and frankly it was the best time we had. Leave it to Andoni and you are guaranteed a wonderful time full of good memories.
