About Aitor Delgado.
Private Guide to the Basque Country’s Most Exclusive Experiences

Meet Aitor Delgado

I was born and raised in the Basque Country, within a family that valued curiosity, culture, and international travel long before it was common in Spain. Those early journeys shaped a global perspective — while my academic path grounded me in rigorous scientific thinking.

I hold a degree in Chemistry from the University of the Basque Country in Bilbao and a postgraduate specialization in forensic and analytical chemistry in the United Kingdom — a background that sharpened the research skills and analytical precision that now define my work as a private guide.

Scientific training taught me how to uncover hidden connections, verify sources, and interpret complex histories — skills that allow me to reveal the Basque Country far beyond surface-level sightseeing.

While working at a Basque research center and later managing an international export business, I had the privilege of hosting visiting executives and specialists. Introducing them to authentic Basque culture — private venues, local traditions, and insider experiences unavailable in guidebooks — became the most rewarding part of my professional life.

Following the global financial crisis of 2011, I decided to transform that passion into a profession — creating a new model of highly personalized private tours for discerning travelers.

Encouraged by international friends and clients who valued my ability to design meaningful journeys, I founded Aitor Delgado Tours with a clear purpose: to offer deeply personalized, intellectually engaging experiences of the Basque Country.

Since then, Aitor Delgado Tours has received numerous international awards and outstanding reviews from travelers across the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and beyond — many of whom return or recommend the experience within their personal and professional circles.

From the beginning, the company focused exclusively on tailor-made, fully private tours designed for luxury travelers, executives, academics, and culturally curious guests seeking authentic access rather than standard itineraries.

Recognition soon followed through major travel platforms, international media coverage, and word-of-mouth recommendations among sophisticated travelers worldwide. This reputation provides privileged access to exceptional local experts, private venues, and experiences not typically available to visitors.

Every tour is designed with the same care one would offer to close friends — combining intellectual depth, cultural authenticity, discretion, and genuine hospitality. My greatest satisfaction is seeing guests leave with a deeper understanding of the Basque Country and memories that endure long after the journey ends.
