Adur was absolutely brilliant. The whole tour was well organised, he was very informative and friendly, worth every penny. The hike is no joke, but worth it for the views. Pray for good weather! The only gripe would be waiting for everybody to use the toilet for 40 minutes. But Adur was chatting to us, and the sun was shining.

We had the most amazing experience touring San Juan Gatelugatxe, Mundaka, and Gernika with Jose. There were six of us on the tour, and our guide Jose was knowledgeable and passionate. He not only shared the histories of the sites visited but local legends as well. He even read a powerful poem about the determination of the Basque people during our visit to Gernika that moved me to tears. In addition, the van was clean and comfortable, and Jose's recommendation for lunch was one of our favorite dining experiences in Spain. I can't recommend the tour and Jose enough. It was certainly a highlight of our trip!

Very good guide, gave lots on information in good English, beautiful scenery, fun walk, but demanding if you are not a walker.

Excellent tour. Adur was very knowledgeable and helpful and a pleasure to join on an adventure. The hike is challenging even for those who are fit. Wear the right shoes. Saw a guy in flip flops. Not a good show to wear. Scenery is breathtaking.

Amazing tour today. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun. Great information about the places we visited and wonderful stories about the area and the Basque language and people.

Our guide was Adur. He was EXCELLENT. We learnt so many fascinating facts about the Basque Country and its history. The day was extremely well organised and Adur looked after each of us individually without being in your face. He explained the foods in the cafe we chose to eat in and chatted amicably all day when he wasn’t giving us details about the places. He taught us how poetic the Basque language is. And more importantly for my old knees he saved us many hills by bring the car to us rather than making us climb another hill because the walk to St John church on the isthmus is very challenging. Many thanks xxxx

I had a fantstic day outing with Jose, from the moment he picked me up until the end of the tour. Jose is a wealth of knowledge about the region and very generously shared his passion and answered all of our groups questions with enthusiam and experitse. This day was a perfect combination of history, exericise, gastronmy while experincing the Basque country. This is a must tour if you want some insight into the Basque culture. Thank you for giving us a pleaserable day

Adur was the perfect guide from picking us up with great humour at 8.30am, to checking on small comforts as we went (he even provided a poncho in the event of a repeat of the cloudburst that greeted us on leaving Bilbao!) The tour itself was great - each location very different from the last and the wealth of history and local knowledge was brilliant. I am a slow walker so the patience shown by Adur and the other lovely people on the bus was very gratefully received! All in all, I really loved the trip and would both recommend Local Experts as well as considering them for other experiences when we inevitably come back to this beautiful region.
