Great Basque country tour with good food and wine

5.00Great Basque country tour with IKUSNAHI tours. This is our first time to Basque country and Ikusnahi tour has planned well according to our love for scenary, food & wine. We did not feel rush. Have enough time for each stop. Winenary selection is great and food at gastronomy society is good too. If you can get a few friends, go for their 3-4 days private tour, tailor for your preference. This is the BEST way to experience the basque country -- by the experienced Basque guides.

5.00We had an unforgettable evening with our awesome guide Anya. We spent the first half of the tour traveling to Basque landmarks and exploring the 13th century medieval town of Hondarribia. Anya was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history of everything that we were seeing. The highlight of the city is the castle, which is now a hotel. After the tour, Anay took us to her private gastronomy and social club where we had an incredible dinner. We learned about the food that we were eating and the proper way to serve the local wine. Each course was prepared by a private chef that put his love and passion into everything he served. We felt like we were eating dinner at someone’s house. If you can for this tour into your agenda, do not miss it!
Best day EVER

5.00Ania is the best tour guide EVER. She went above and beyond any expectation we had. She made the experience of every moment very special. Andres, our chef, was delightful. And omg the food!! It was our first experience at a gastronomic society and we loved it. We went up into the hills to see the natural boundary between Spain and France, and then on to Hondarribia. Ania shared some of the history of the region, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We had the best day, it is a highlight we will never forget.
A fantastic experience!

5.00It is a very complete visit, not only to get to know the magnificent town of Hondarribia, but also to learn about the local culture and traditions. Meal in the society is a unique experience, with a very good menu of very good quality and an opportunity to get to know the true way of life of the local people. The guides Ania and Ernes were magnificent, authentic experts who made my visit super enjoyable and unforgettable.
Basque experience not to be missed

5.00Amazing experience with IKUSNAHI tours. We did 3 separate tours from San Sebastián during our week there. Ania, our tour guide for all 3, was awesome. Her attitude, knowledge and personality really made us feel like we were traveling with a local friend.

5.00Enjoyed our tour in Hondarribia in the Basque Country. Our historic tour of the city and the fortress that was our hotel was wonderful. Our evening eating pintxos in the bar was unbelievable. I thought they would never stop coming along with the Basque white wine , it was all delicious. And finally our dinner prepared for us at the Men’s Gastronomic club was superb.
Three great experiences in Hondarribia with Ikusnahi Tours

5.00We we were fortunate enough secure three programs with Ikusnahi Tours and got to meet both Mikel and Ernes. One was an entertaining, yet fascinating, historic tour of Hondarribia (during which we also learned more about Basque people and their culture). The second experience was a pintxos dinner at one of Hondarribia's many great eateries. The third was an evening at the Hondarribia Gastronomic Society. Here we were regaled with authentic local dishes and wines, as well as with stories and a wealth of information. Our evening at the "club" was like being invited into a family's home: quite a privilege!
Excellent experience!

5.00We’ve done a number of great tours on our several trips to Spain but our recent tour with Ania was especially enjoyable. We were hesitating because of the COVID situation but it felt safe. Guethary and Hondarribia will stay in our hearts forever. In addition to her taking us to delicious cheese, seafood, sweets spots, Ania was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to be with, generally. She gave us the confidence to step outside our food and drink comfort zone and just surrender to the foodie experience. I would recommend this tour and Ikusnahi in general (already have to a friend planning to visit Europe next year if the COVID situation allow him). It’s a great way to get to know the local culture. I highly recommend!
