      Santiago: the best Bilbao & La Rioja guide

      "We spent a full day with Santiago as he guided us through Bilbao and La Rioja. He expertly mixed entertainment, education, luxury, and relaxation throughout the day as he taught us about the history, cultures, and people of Basque Country and La Rioja. This was our first time booking through WithLocals, and we were extremely fortunate to have found Santi. The food was excellent. The wine was delicious. And as a guide (and person), Santi is amazing. His English is excellent and it very quickly felt like we were traveling around with a long-time friend instead of a guide; it´s a real testament to him. If you have any doubts about booking with him, forget about them -- this is who you want to guide you throughout Spain."

      Wonderful, knowledgable guide

      "Joseb was wonderful to communicate with & he readily provided local information about the environment, culture & festivals. We had a significant calendar day on our tour & Joseb was wonderful providing extra time and insight. Great service, professional & very diverse in language skills. Highly recommend. "

      A day in Gernika and Donostia

      "Santiago was really a wonderful guide. Being a basque himself he showed me the most important towns of the Basque Country, i.e. Bilbo, Gernika and Donostia, with great enthusiasm, excellent knowledge and absolute motivation. He is not only an outstanding personality but also willing and most competent to respond adequately to all the questions with regard to culture, art history and gastronomy. I am very grateful to him for the wonderful way he was able to show me his homeland. I will definitely come back and book him again with great joy and appreciation."
