This project was born with the idea of creating experiences primarily within the municipalities that make up Urdaibai, both for the tourists who visit us and for the locals who want to enjoy their surroundings a little more and better.

At Urdaibai Experience & Travel, we believe that tourism that respects the environment, the local economy, and the people who live in the places we show to our travelers is possible.

We are committed to promoting a sustainable way of traveling among our visitors and travelers, highlighting the environment, local businesses, culture, and traditions. Therefore, we are part of CETS, the Urdaibai Sustainable Tourism Charter.

Let us take you away, we have a great plan for you.

Opinions

Hear what our customers are saying

I highly recommend the city tour with Maite. We shared a wonderful morning during the San Roque celebrations, learning about the history of Gernika. Maite worked hard and managed to convey this invaluable story to us.

Iñigo took us on a journey through the history of Gernika in a simple, enjoyable, and very personal way. 10/10 recommended.

A very educational and exciting tour of Gernika. The air-raid shelter is especially impressive. Iñigo was a very attentive guide, and his explanations gave us a clear understanding of the city's importance and the reasons for the bombings. Thank you for the experience!
