Juan was very knowledgeable and flexible. We adjusted our tour because of the rain and we had a wonderful day in spite of the weather.

Biscay coastline private tour
We booked a tour of the Biscay coast through Iker and GoWithGuide. We booked late and Iker was very accommodating. Daniel was our guide for the day. We had a wonderful day - heading out along the coast from Bilbao to places off the tourist trail - including Bermeo, Laga, Mandaka and Lekeitio. Daniel was a fantastic guide and we very much enjoyed his company. I would highly recommend this tour. John and Barbara - UK

Friendly experienced guide
We spent a half day touring the coast and visiting small Fishing villages with Iker soaking up the beauty of the Basque countryside. His pleasant style and experience made for a delightful four plus hours. Starting in San Sebastián he met us promptly at our hotel and whisked us off in his large, comfortable van to a beautiful lookout spot above the bay to take in the beautiful views. We then meandered along a quiet hilltop lane admiring the scenery, animals and overlooks. We visited several small town and enjoyed short strolls to see the old town. This was one of the highlights of our time in Spanish Basque County and I have no reservations recommending Iker to anyone looking to dive deeper into the history and culture of the area.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review and comments! Glad to read that you enjoyed so much with me Best regards Iker Bardaji private tour guide

Fantastic Multi-Day Basque Tour
When planning my itinerary for a multi-day jaunt up to San Sebastian, I researched several companies, based on their ability to create a customized and personalized experience on a cost-efective basis. Needless to say, Iker truly delivered. After providing Iker with a quick summary of my overall objectives of the trip, he quickly turned around several experiences to choose from, with recommendations. Once these were finalized, he developed a general schedule (to help me plan other activities outside of this private tour). Over the next several days, I had the opportunity to take a tour of Rioja (with a colleague of mine also attending on short notice - no problem!), heading out to the Txakoli wine region, walking around SB enjoying various pinxtos (and visiting a private cooking club), and hitting up one of the prominent cider houses outside of town. Altogether, a truly wonderful experience! The ultimate highlight was visiting a micro-vineyard, followed by lunch (and wine!) with the vitner and family in their home. Iker himself was personable, punctual, friendly and flexible. I noticed that he paid close attention to what I enjoyed, and would modify the remainder of the day accordingly. Overall, it felt much less like a tour and more like hanging out with an old friend. Would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you - Eskerrik asko! So nice to read that you had such good time with me those last days in the Basque Country. Hope to see you back again at some point Best regards from San Sebastian Iker Bardaji and Basque Guides team

What a fantastic evening…..
We would thoroughly recommend Iker and his pintxo tour of Donostia/San Sebastian, it was the highlight of our holiday. He was very knowledgeable and willing to share his passion for the town, even took to his very personal Gastronomic Society club, which we felt very privileged to be apart of. Iker took us to some fabulous Pintxo bars which we we certainly wouldn’t have tried if he wasn’t with us, and the pintxo and local drinks he recommended were just superb. Thank you Iker, we had a fantastic evening and will certainly be recommending you to all our family and friends.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for commenting and rating the tour! Really appreciated and glad to read that you enjoyed so much with me. Hope to see you back soon Best regards Iker Bardaji private Basque guide

Customized & Exclusive Private tours in & from San Sebastian: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Sebastian.
How much does Customized & Exclusive Private tours in & from San Sebastian cost?
+
Prices start at $451 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Sebastian usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Customized & Exclusive Private tours in & from San Sebastian take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Sebastian is not rushed.
Is Customized & Exclusive Private tours in & from San Sebastian worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Sebastian, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Customized & Exclusive Private tours in & from San Sebastian?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Customized & Exclusive Private tours in & from San Sebastian suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Customized & Exclusive Private tours in & from San Sebastian?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Sebastian can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Sebastian and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Customized & Exclusive Private tours in & from San Sebastian start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Sebastian within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Sebastian?
+
On Outty we rank every San Sebastian experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Electric Bike Tour in San Sebastián, San Sebastian E-bike trour: Basque History and Cultural., San Sebastian Premium Pintxo Food, Wine & Market Foodie Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Sebastian?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Sebastian?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
