Reviews 

Thank you for making it a perfect vacation. You really helped me create what I wanted. I had spend days of research to figure out a dreamy home in the country and coast and having a true country and cultural experience. You made my dream vacation come true and much more.

Your welcome and hospitality matched that of loved relatives. This wasn’t what was expected and asked for. You went that extra mile, just because you cared. You are wonderful people and I’m so glad I found you guys.

Inaki as a guide, you not only had vast knowledge of the place, but were so patient with our group of 8 ladies. Your enthusiasm and love for your region made us experience it as locals. You made the whole experience memorable. And to top it all your singing and sense of humor added that extra that will not be matched. Beautiful voice!

I would recommend you to everyone who is looking for an amazing experience in the beautiful Basque Country (Spain/France), and Pamplona. I would love to come back again with my family. Thank you!!

Ajeeta C. - San Francisco, USA

I had a memorable experience with you both. Having grown up in the Basque Country and travelled the world their knowledge is vast. Inaki’s fun and patient personality only enriched the experience and he is an excellent guide, showing us many hidden gems along the way. Ana’s hospitality was that of a mother, constantly checking to see if we needed anything but without invading our privacy. She has created a dream farmhouse with an astonishing mixture of old and new, a house with authentic pieces and modern amenities at the same time.

Best vacation experience ever!! Thank you, thank you Ana and Inaki. You have been absolutely amazing hosts – very welcoming, kind and genuine! Celebrating Lily’s birthday with your guidance was the best experience ever!
Anu – San Francisco , USA

I look forward to returning with my family next time. Iñaki and Ana run a boutique travel agency, I wholeheartedly recommend Iñaki as a knowledgeable, highly organised and enjoyable bespoke tour guide.
Jillian B. - Canberra, Australia

The best part of our stay was the two evenings we spent with Iñaki as our personal tour guide exploring the old and new parts of this amazing city. It is fair to say that Iñaki is the best tour guide we have ever met. His knowledge of Bilbao, its history and culture, is incredible and he knows all of the best tapas (pintxos) bars in the town. Iñaki’s love for Bilbao was evident in the way he spoke about his hometown during our tours. …In summary, we had a wonderful time in Bilbao thanks to Ana and Iñaki.
David – Dublin, Ireland

We ended up doing a tour of the countryside villages and unforgettable San Juan de Gaztelugatxe- a must see! Iñaki took us on the tour and it was the best way to end our trip and feel that we really got to see the beauty of the Basque Country that only a true local could share. Iñaki and Ana are both such kind, well traveled, and interesting people – so thoroughly enjoyed our interactions with them.
Rebecca – San Francisco, USA

Nous avons passé un excellent weekend à Bilbao grâce à notre hôte Iñaki. Nous avons été très sensibles à son accueil chaleureux, sa maitrise parfaite du francais et nous avons été très vite mis dans l’ambiance du Casco viejo grâce au tour guidé que nous avons fait avec Iñaki.
