Itinerary

  • Gernika-Lumo

    The French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote: “Gernika is the happiest town in the world. Their affairs are governed by a board of peasants that meets under an oak tree and always makes the fairest decisions ”. And here we go, to the city bombed by Nazi planes in 1937 that inspired one of the most well-known paintings in the world, Picasso’s mural-sized “Guernica”. We will visit the city and, of course, the tree under which the (we hope) “fairer decisions” are made.

    30 minutes

  • N/A

    Memorize this name: ‘Urdaibai’ and try to pronounce it well (it’s not easy, we know) because you won’t forget it. Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, Urdaibai is a large estuary at which mountains, rivers, the sea and large stretches of sand come together. Depending on the tide and time of day, the landscape (and the dozens of birds that inhabit it) may be radically different.

    15 minutes

  • Mundaka

    We’ll also stop at Mundaka, a hot spot on the world's ‘surfaris’ routes: its beach has one of the most (possibly the most) perfect waves on the planet, with a left-hand break. At the fronton of this adorable fishing village, we’ll challenge you to a Basque pelota match - the real thing, played with bare hands and a ball that looks like stone.

    20 minutes

  • N/A

    Some call it “Dragonstone,” but its name is San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, an islet connected to the ground by a line of 241 stairs and crowned by a hermitage. Gaztelugatxe became ultra-famous after appearing in the Games Of Thrones series disguised as Dragonstone: Though the 'castle' is a CGI effect, everything else (dizzying cliffs, sharp rocks, flocks of birds, the noise of the sea ...) is rabidly real .

    15 minutes

  • Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

    The people of Bilbao have always claimed that their city was the capital of the world. When the Guggenheim museum opened in 1997, that prophecy came true and the building became an architectural phenomenon whose influence has spilled over into the rest of the city. The people of Bilbao say that the museum is actually the “doghouse” of Puppy, the iconic statue that welcomes you at the entrance (Basque ironic mode on). We’ll get to know the building and its main works of contemporary art.

Bilbao and the Guggenheim

Published on Oct, 2024

Our fabulous guide Martin customized our tour to include more walking in Bilbao which we thoroughly enjoyed! The visit to the Guggenheim was fantastic, culminating with lunch in the museum cafe, which was delicious and fun!

Fantastic day trip!

Published on Sep, 2024

Fantastic day trip—just the right amount of time at each of the four major stops. Guide Jan was excellent—very knowledgeable and very efficient.

Best Europe Tour

Published on Oct, 2023

This was the best tour we have had in Europe. Daniel was wonderful. Our guide Daniel, was nice, well informed, kept the perfect pace, and was a pleasure to spend the day with. The car was very nice. Loved the stops along the way and the Guggenheim visit and lunch.

The Best of Basque Spain, from Bilbao to Biarritz!

Published on Oct, 2023

I want to give 10 stars to Ikusnahi (Curiosity) Tours - and Tour Designer - Ernes. From the architecture and wonders of the Guggenheim to the incredible San Sebastian and Hondarribia, we didn't leave a stone unturned. Hiking up to monasteries, city-biking around cities, e-biking up and down mountain ranges, and walking the beaches of the French Basque countryside, the views, history, geography and conversation were never-ending. We ate incredible Pintxos, toured the lush Rioja wineries and tasted the delicacies of the land, from fabulous Basque cuisine to a Cider House and Food Club. Don't forget to drink Txakoli and Glorioso! And have a cooking class with Chef Bendur- you will be proud of what you cook - and eat! We were lucky enough to see an epic football game against friendly rivals Bilbao and San Sebastien! (San Sebastien 3-0!). *A note about Ernes- he is incredibly knowledgeable, always happy, very accommodating and loves his country from the outside in and the inside out. His teams, including Mikhail and Anya, are all professional and great to be with, no matter which tour, activity or adventure you are on. Thanks again for a memorable and unforgettable experience, we can't wait to return! Pam & Steve, Toronto, Canada

San Sebastián to Bilbao

Published on Aug, 2023

We had a fabulous tour with Markel a/k/a Mark. He was a fount of information and history. We peppered him with questions about history, politics, sport, literature and net flix. We traveled from San Sebastián to Bilbao to visit the Guggenheim with several scenic spots along the way. It was a great trip and we all learned a lot. Eskerrik Asko
