Professional par excellence - Pleasant and professional, well informed and articulate guide, too. I would love to see him (Zack) again in a future visit for wine tour.

10/10 would recommend - Irene was truly amazing and went out of her way to give us the best experience in her tour and outside. She found the best time to visit the fort and we enjoyed her telling of the history of the place and the Basque people. We enjoyed the visit and tapas at Bermeo afterwards. Irene was so kind and so lovely she even gave us recommendations to restaurants for our visit to San Sebastián the day after. 10/10 would recommend Irene. Thank you!

Seamless Hiking Adventure - If you love nature and are into hikes, we highly recommend Irene of The Best of Basque. She will take you on a flawless hiking experience to one of the most beautiful spots in the Basque country. We don’t watch Game of Thrones but this was reportedly featured in the show. You don’t have to worry about a thing because Irene will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel, drive you comfortably to the site, take care of the permit needed to enter the site, guide and accompany you through all the 240 steps to reach the top and feed you with a delicious lunch in charming Bermeo after your exhilarating hike. She is a native Basque and knows the ins and outs of the area so you will get there well before anyone else and enjoy the place without the crowds. Thank you Irene for an unforgettable experience and happy travels! Hope to touch base with you again soon.

Great hike and outting from Bilbao - Even though it was a drizzly day, we had a great time hiking this spectacular work of nature and man and visiting Bermeo. Zach, our guide, was very informative and shared information about the area(s) and the Basque culture. He communicated in advance and picked us up at our hotel right on schedule. We very much enjoyed spending the day in his company as well as seeing Gaztulagatxce and Bermeo. Highly recommend this trip for anyone wishing to see more of Basque country and coast.

Brilliant tour - Our guide was brilliant, so knowledgeable and passionate about the area and a proud Basque. We were picked up from our hotel, which made the trip very easy for us too. After the hike we were taken to a lovely fishing village where we were served the most amazing Pintxos. My only regret is that we didn't book this tour earlier in our stay as we gained so much information about the area and culture and it gave us more confidence to explore more and try new things. Thank you for a wonderful trip.

A beautiful gift! - The best morning and lunch ever! The hike was fabulous but the real gift was spending time with Irene and learning about the Basque, their traditions, passions and what it means to be Basque!! Thank you for your positive energy and enthusiasm.

A great day out - We spent the day with Irene touring the coast north of Bilbao. We had a great morning capped off with some pintxo and wine in a cute little fishing village. Touring with a local like Irene makes all the difference when you really want to understand the local way of life. I absolutely recommend to others.
