PRIVATE GUIDE

Born in Russia and based for years in San Sebastian, Emma Moyseychenko is the director of Mir Baskov, a company that offers private guide services in the Basque Country to tourists who speak English, Spanish, and Russian. Among the tours offered by Emma are visits to the Urdaibai Nature Reserve, La Rioja, the French Basque Country, Bilbao, Pamplona, San Sebastian, the French Way (a part of the Way of St. James which begins in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-port), and even tours around medieval Aquitaine. The customer can customize any of these tours, and even request an ad-hoc tour.

Emma describes the Basque Country as a land of emerald green colors in which one can really live and enjoy life; a corner of the world that offers uniquely beautiful landscapes. She admits that the area’s main attraction is its cuisine, whose secret is the locals’ love of good food and the best ingredients. Thus, at Mir Baskov they place special emphasis on showing tourists culinary traditions through cooking workshops, visits to cider houses, wine tastings, and personalized gastronomic tours that include stops at the best bars, restaurants with Michelin stars, and tastings of local specialties.

In addition to visits to the different regions and culinary tours, Mir Baskov can also take charge of booking restaurants, organizing outings in a motorboat, sailing boat, hot air balloon, light aircraft, or helicopter, arranging transport in luxury vehicles, reserving a balcony for San Fermin, and offering language courses to those who want to delve more deeply into the local culture. In short, the company can fully organize your luxury trip to the Basque Country.
