Would you like to know who is going to take good care of you?

Kaixo!! Hi! My name is Mikel and I´ll be your private guide and your “local insider” during your visit of the Basque Country. Welcome!!

Born in the beautiful Old Quarter of Bilbao, I’m an experienced traveler who has lived in the USA, the UK and France, and has visited over 45 countries. College graduate, part-time University professor and passionate about Basque history, culture and unique traditions.

You will benefit from my knowledge as your own local insider from the very first stage of designing your tailor-made tours to the farewell meal before you return to your home country, after experiencing the very best of the Basque Country.

I´m a licensed official Basque Country guide, (register number GHP00043), and a member of APITE, the Association of Professional Guides of the Basque Country. Also, I’m an authorized guide of the Guggenheim Museum, the masterpiece of architecture of the 20th century.

Are you looking for the best guide to show you around? Interested in a tailor-made visit? My goal is for you to have the most pleasant and happy experience during your journey of discovery of the Basque Country — a land of amazing landscapes, centuries-old traditions, unique culture and an internationally renowned cuisine.
