Customer Reviews
Went on two tours with Ander, to see Game of Thrones filming locations and to Pamplona. Ander is a great guide, he is passionate about Basque culture and language. We learned a lot during the tours and I highly recommend this company if you are looking to do private tours in the region.
My sister and I can't thank Go Basque enough, specifically Ander, for his help in finding our grandmother's relatives in Baztan! Ander's fluency in the Basque language-- Euskera-- as well as his warm and engaging personality, helped neighbors feel comfortable in speaking with us about our relatives. Furthermore, Ander helped us solve a mystery related to our family. He did some in-depth research, along with consistent communications with neighbors to get to the bottom of our family's circumstances. Now, with this new knowledge, we will certainly return to Baztan and delight in the beauty of our grandmother's birthplace. Eskerrik asko, Ander eta Nina!
