Fantastic tour with Rioja Like a Native! We signed up for the full day Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa tour. Later, we added on a private half day tour as we had limited time in the area and wanted to make the most of it. Both days were 10/10 the whole way! Fito, Rebeca, and Robert were all fantastic, very knowledgeable, and fun. Everything is taken care of for you and you can relax, learn, and enjoy. Cannot recommend this company enough if you are coming to Rioja!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience! The tours were very interesting and different. Beautiful views and the wine was amazing! Rebeca was extremely responsive and helpful from the day I booked the tour and we had an amazing day with Fito. I absolutely recommend this tour!

Rebeca’s two day wine tour was one of the best wine tours that we have ever done, and we have done many. The wineries we visited were diverse and interesting. The lunches were great and the wines varied and delicious. I cannot recommend Rebeca and her husband strongly enough. You will have a wonderful experience.

This was an amazing tour!!! Rebeca and Robert were so warm and welcoming and shared a wonderful view into the wines and wineries of Rioja. We have been on other wine tours in other countries and this was far and away the best. Highly recommended and I can’t wait to go back and see more wineries with them.

I highly recommend this tour. Rebeca was an amazing tour guide; she has so much knowledge and being a local has so much to offer. It was a full day of wineries and tastings. We experienced a centuries old winery and a modern winery. We tasted lots of wonderful wines. We had lunch in a medieval town of Laguardia which was awesome. We walked around Laguardia and Rebeca gave us the history of the town. Fascinating!! We ended the day in a very special way - seeing vineyards up close and tasting some very special wine in a special place ( I won't give it away)!! Rebeca also sent us several pictures that she took throughout the day. It was a nice surprise when I received the email with all these pictures. You cannot go wrong with this tour. We will definitely use Rebeca again next time we are in the Rioja region!!

What an amazing day! Robert and Rebeca were so hospitable. The tour was immersive and shows you wineries and areas a tourist would never find on their own. It was a perfect way to spend a day in Rioja!

Four friends hired Rioja Like a Native for a two day private tour of the Rioja wine region. Our guide Grace was punctual, courteous and professional. Since Grace is fluent in both Spanish and English communications with the wineries was no problem. We toured several smaller boutique wineries - the kind of places that we would have never found and received insight to La Rioja, Rioja and Basque definitions. Our very last stop was at Rebeca's bodega where we were presented with a very educational tasting.

We had a wonderful time on our wine tour with Rebeca. Both vineyards we visited offered a unique and delightful experience. Finishing the day with a tasting of Rebeca’s own family produced wines was a highlight of the day. The personalized touch and enthusiasm by both her and her husband made the tour truly memorable.
