5.00The tour was amazing. The sites were beautiful. I would recommend Dramamine just in case you get dizzy going into mountains or with motion sickness the wine was delicious. The tasting was great. The guide was amazing.
Josu made our day

5.00Josu was our guide and he had so much knowledge. He took us through several seaside towns and told us lots of stories and history. We went to a beautiful Txakoli vineyard. Mónica showed us how it was made, bottled, and stored. We had tastings in 2 locations on the vineyard and both had breathtaking views! On the way back we connected with Josu on music and had a fun time listening to each others favorite songs. I would definitely do this tour again and if you get Josu you are in for a great time!

5.00Great trip to Getaria with super nice and good Iker as a guide. Even though the ice bar was closed, we could still taste the premier sorbet with mango and chili.
Nice trip with Iker!

5.00What a great experience we had with guide Victor who also knew a lot about the area. First we visited Getaria itself and then we were warmly welcomed by May who explained us everything about the Txakoli wine both white and rosé. Another way of growing wine compared to Rioja, for example. The tasting with snacks was delicious. It is a beautiful fresh wine that is very suitable as an aperitif. Are you a wine lover? Then this is a must!
Fantastic Experience

5.00We had an amazing day with Ana on the Getaria & txakoli tour from San Sebastián. Ana was warm, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel so personal - from sharing the history of Getaria to introducing us to the traditions of txakoli winemaking. We completely fell in love with the charm of Getaria and even went back on our own before leaving the Basque Country. We can't wait for a return trip! Highly recommend this tour - it was a highlight of our trip!
Highly recommend this tour!

5.00Fantastic tour with Anna! This tour was a great txakoli wine tasting and so much more. We explored the town of Getaria, saw awesome overlooks of the countryside and beaches, and had a in-depth look at the vineyards and process of making txakoli wines! Beautiful tasting setting paired with delicious local foods. Highly recommend! Anna was very knowledgeable and a great guide!
