Amazing day tour!!
Michael M, 29-07-2022
This tour is a fabulous way to experience the Rioja wine region. From beginning to end Ander was an excellent host with his knowledge and attention to detail. He looked after us both impeccably and we had some great conversations throughout the day. We would thoroughly recommend this tour. We hope to go back to San Sebastian and would certainly use Go Basque again.

Thanks again Ander.
Best wishes
Colin and Rhoda

What a tour!!
Espen_M, 23-11-2019
We went on a private tour with Ander to 3 different locations and with 3course lunsj at the 4th. The winerys were great,but most of all it was Anders knowledge about the winerys, and San Sebastian in general that made our day. We highly recomend a trip with him. It was absolutely one of our best days of our holiday.
Amazing day of wine tasting and site seeing.

Nina and Ander were great hosts that guided us thru a number of wineries and local points of interest. Their passion for the area and the local wine culture was very evident and added to the overall experience. We also did a local cooking class that Go Basque arranged which was a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend these tours and Go Basque
Beautiful Rioja day trip- must to do!

If you love wine, this is a must while you are in the area. First of all, we’d like to thank go basque tour for an amazing day trip- Ander was so knowledgeable and personalized the tour according to our want- it was a wonderful day trip. We visited several continual wineries as well as a few boutique wineries. The region of Rioja is beautiful and we were able to enjoy the scenery while driving and walking around. We also visited a little town of LaGuardia and had a delicious lunch. We are so happy that we did this tour! Thank you, go basque tour, Ander and Nina for this amazing experience!
