Zorione is a terrific tour guide - super knowledgeable about the area around Bilbao and San Sebastián, almost perfect English, passionate about the Basques, and nimble enough to figure out my interests so she can be sure to take me to sites not seen by most other tourists. For example, the geopark where part of Game of Thrones was filmed and the repurposed Cultural Center in San Sebastian were two of my favorite spectacular stops.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a special experience with your guide. She truly has a gift and we’re so glad you appreciated the unique spots she shared with you. We hope to be part of your next adventure soon! Warm wishes, The Tour Travel & More Team
