Pilar was an excellent guide.. We were on a Spanish and English tour with one other couple and Pilar gave both couples a fair share of her time and commentary. Pilar is a Basque who is proud to share her knowledge of Basque history and culture. She made the tour!

Jose is a wonderful guide, with a great ability to communicate in a pleasant and calm way the places that are visited. The day was great and we had enough time to appreciate Gaztelugatxe, Mundaka and Gernika. A very good combination of history, landscape and customs. Perfect! I would recommend it to anyone:)

Some tourists from the hotel told us that they had made this visit. We informed ourselves and did not hesitate to do it. San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is a top and must-see place. Gernika is famous for its bombing and a charming village. Interesting tour of the landscapes and its history. It is advisable to do so with Guide so as not to lose time or detail. 100% recommended.

Once again Ana was very knowledgeable about Gaztelugatxe and Guernika and her English is perfect. I feel so comfortable, safe and happy doing her tours. I feel I have learnt so much and loved all of the experiences we had. A visit to The Assembly House of Gernika was well worth it as was everything we did. Ana helped us other our pintxos abd drinks and I feel we spent the right amount of time on each activity.
