Basque Country Travel Guides (Updated October 2026)

We absolutely loved our food tour! The spots that we were taken to were really well thought out and not they typical spots which was amazing! Our tour guide Kristina was excellent, she was so passionate and had a vast knowledge of the history and the city that she was able to share with us. She was so kind in sharing tips and helping us learn some Euskara! Highly recommend if you are in San Sebastian! Eskerrik asko Kristina!

​I booked this tour to Lourdes for my mother and grandmother, and it ended up being the highlight of their trip. Even though Jimi had a health scare the day before, he still made it happen—something we will never forget. That alone speaks volumes about his character and dedication. ​From the moment the tour began, Jimi was warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He spoke fluent Spanish and English, which made everything feel personal and completely accessible for both of them. ​Jimi guided them with such care and reverence. He made them feel safe, seen, and spiritually connected every step of the way. ​They returned filled with peace, gratitude, and awe. This was more than just a tour; it was a moment of grace, and Jimi was the reason why. ​Thank you, Jimi, for giving my family a memory that will stay with them forever.

We had an amazing experience, showcasing the history of San Sebastián, the underground market & Old Town Pintxos restaurants. Sebastián was an amazing guide and took us to all of the best places. Thank you so much for an incredible afternoon.

Inés was our fabulous guide. She was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable. It was great to explore different areas, trying different pintxos and drinks. We loved San Sebastián and what a great way to get a good insight into their lovely life.

We booked this tour for four of us and our guide, Alby, was amazing. He provided a great tour and gave us a background on the places we visited.Dragonstone was breath taking!

A great experience with a lovely and knowledgeable guide called Gabi. We went to lots of different bars and had a fantastic selection of gorgeous food, accompanied by some lovely wines, cider and spirits. A great way to experience San Sebastian

Jose is wonderfully warm and friendly. The tour is well designed and well paced. We saw beautiful and interesting places and learned about the Basque region. Highly recommend!

Jose Luis is an exceptional guide. We had a fully personalized private tour, just the two of us, and he even picked us up from our apartment. Thanks to his perfect timing, we avoided the late‑morning crowds at Dragonstone. He was flexible, engaging, and shared fascinating highlights about Basque history, culture, and daily life. We highly recommend this experience.

We had a fantastic day with Alby visiting Bilbao, the Guggenheim Museum and Gaztelugatxe. It was a great way to see more of the Basque Country and we really enjoyed the whole day.Alby was a brilliant guide. He was friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable, and shared his knowledge in such an interesting and easy way. Being an Aussie was an added bonus for us and made the day even more enjoyable!Everything was well organised and we never felt rushed. It was a really memorable day and we would definitely recommend this tour and Alby to anyone visiting the area.

Laura from Bodega Izadi gave us a fascinating and very memorable tour of the enterprise. As it is harvest time we saw the whole wine making process from delivery of the grapes through to fermentation and ageing, visiting five floors in the building. We even saw a young apprentice wine maker treading grapes in the process of creating a new wine, good fun! We ended with a tasting of three of the Izadi fine wines with tasty finger food. We loved Laura’s enthusiasm, deep knowledge and humour. Her English was excellent and she answered all our questions so fluently. We both highly recommend this tour and the Izadi wines

Great tour guide very friendly and very knowledgeable about the history. We really loved the electric bikes.

Paul was an absolute delight! Gentle, knowledgable, and still filled with curiosity for the place he has called home for 25 years. Could not recommend this tour and guide more highly! Loved everything about from the food to the history. Bilbao is officially my favourite Spanish city.

What a great experience this was… not just for the delicious food and drinks along the way, but also such fascinating insights into the stories and culture of Bilbao, both historical and contemporary. Our guide Paul was super friendly, knowledgeable and a great host. Heads up…Don’t eat before you go! There’s so much on offer and you’ll want to try it all.

Aitor, the guide, very entertaining!!! A nice excursion!!!! It's worth it.

We’ve now done two tours with The Good Tour Company, and both were exceptional! Our first trip was to La Rioja with Jimi, the owner, and our second was to Lourdes with Alex. Everything about both tours was absolute perfection—flawless organization, great local knowledge, and fantastic company. Highly recommend!

Very good tour. With an exceptional guide, Eider
