Hello, I'm Jose Manuel
I became a guide for one reason: to share the Basque Country the way a local loves it. With a background in psychology and a lifelong passion for history and culture, I design private experiences that go beyond the surface — blending deep knowledge of this region with genuine personal connection. Every tour adapts to you, at your pace, with the warmth of a friend and the standards of high-end hospitality.
