A great day in wine country! - Go Basque worked with me to customize our tour experience to include two wineries and a lunch stop. (Quite patiently too I'll add, since our group had quite a few variables to work through.) The tour day ended up being exactly what I'd hoped for and our tour guide, Ander, was great -- very personable and great at anticipating our needs.

Winery Tour in Northern Spain - We had a great time with our guide, Ander. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the Basque country. The drive to the winery along the Atlantic coast was beautiful. The guide at the winery was one of the family owners and spoke at length about the history and wine making process. We tasted a few of their wines which were delicious. We had a lovely time!

Txakoli Winery Tour - The tour far surpassed our expectations. Ander was an excellent tour guide and you could tell he really had a passion to teach and show you how great San Sebastián and the Basque region is. We were picked up and driven to the txakoli winery where on the way we got some great pictures overlooking the winery and the ocean. At the winery we got a great tour of the winery and tasted some wines and pintxos. After the winery tour we walked around a small fishing village called Getaria, and stopped at a restaurant for a refreshment and some incredible pintxos selected by Ander. Afterwords we walked through the village for a bit more and checked out some monuments and a church. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this tour.

The Best Day! - My husband and I had the best time with Ander and it was such a treat to visit one of our favorite wine regions in the entire world. The scenery was outstanding and it was perfect to have a true expert showing us all of his favorite places. A short drive from San Sebastian, it is so worth the time to visit Txokali and the neighboring village. We learned so much and so enjoyed our time. Such a fun day and we will be calling him again when we return!

Great Tour, Great Tour Guide. Highly Recommended! - We did the Txakoli Tour and loved it. Really enjoyed the winery (and the wine) and the villages we visited. But what really made it special was Ander. He is very knowledgeable but also very pleasant and friendly, and comes across as very genuine. We learned quite a bit about the Basque region, culture and the Txakoli wine which we ended up really having a taste for.

Great day - We had a fantastic tour with Anders, it was a txakoli tour but he knows so much about the area and the history that we got much more than that. A genuinely lovely man who treated us so well and went above and beyond. We hope to visit again and book again!

Personal, tailored and unique experience - I chose Go Basque for a special birthday treat for one of my best friends and the tour exceeded my expectations.
Ander was friendly, sensitive and really gave you a sense that he was sharing a place that is close to his heart with you.
Ander picked us up from our guesthouse and gave my friend a Basque cake as a birthday present. He then showed us some viewpoints before heading to the Txakoli vineyard for a tour that was lead by one of the family owners there. The tour was informative without being boring and the wine and pintxos at the end were delicious!
We then continued on to some of the coastal points stopping at a fishing village (I forget the name!) for a short walk and stop in a pintxo bar. After this Ander took us to Itzurun beach for breathtaking views of the cliffs and sea (also filming location of Game of Thrones, if you´re into that).
I would 100% recommend this tour.
