Rioja Wine Tour - Markel (Mark) was fantastic! He was not only knowledgeable and charismatic but you can tell he truly has a love and passion for the Basque region. He also had great suggestions of where to go in San Sebastián for food and drinks. We left that tour wanting to invite Markel to stay with us if he ever visits the states.

Immersive Wine Country Experience - We had such a fantastic day touring Rioja with Markel from Ikusnahi Tours. We visited three very different, very distinct wineries. Mark was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about wines and the region as well as Basque history which was fascinating to me and my husband. Everything was taken care of, Mark was a great conversationalist and a very good driver. By the end of the day, we'd tasted nine different wines, shipped 6 bottles home, took 5 more bottles to drink in Spain (ha!), had an amazing traditional lunch, and dreamed about going back. Thanks, Mark!

A Wonderful chance to explore unique wines - A full day in the Rioja region of Spain visiting local wineries and followed by a wonderful late lunch. Our guide Marc had an incredible energy- enthusiastic, knowledgeable, attentive, funny. We visited several more experimental wineries which gave us an opportunity to try wines that we would not have access to at home. I would recommend allowing a full long day for this without a deadline to be back at your hotel, so you can take your time and enjoy the sites and the wine.
