Jon Gurrea
Founder and Guide
Iepa! I’m Jon Gurrea, co-founder of Earra Tours. Born in the surfing town of Zarautz, just outside Donostia (San Sebastian), I’ve spent 10 years living in Donostia itself.
As a child, I remember meeting Australians visiting for the San Fermin running of the bulls festival of Pamplona and seeing French tourists in luxury cars heading to the fishermen’s village of Getaria for the best grilled fish. These encounters sparked my curiosity about the world.
Since then, I’ve become an avid traveler, passionate about indigenous cultures and history, and have visited over 40 countries. Living in Dublin for two years and New Zealand for one were among my best experiences, playing rugby and working as a chef assistant.
My motto is simple: traveling is like cooking—slow and steady is best.
I also have a deep passion for Outdoors and Photography. I’ve climbed high mountains in Peru and walked the deserts of Wadi Rum in Jordan. I love capturing great memories for our clients through the photos I take.
There’s nothing better than seeing the satisfied faces of our clients during our tours, which we design to surprise and showcase the most local, off-the-beaten-path experiences, always prioritizing quality and comfort.
In addition to organizing and creating unique experiences, I personally guide our clients, ensuring each journey is unforgettable.
EARRA!
Daniele Dias
Founder and Communication Manager
As a nature lover and seasoned traveler, I’m passionate about uncovering the most authentic essence of every place I visit. I thrive on immersing myself in local culture, meeting new people, and sharing enriching experiences. With numerous journeys to different corners of the world under my belt, each one has been a unique and unforgettable adventure.
I take great pleasure in leading the management of the company, engaging with clients, understanding their desires and needs, and assisting them in crafting the perfect trip tailored to their preferences. Being an integral part of this process and witnessing our clients’ dreams come to life is an incomparable satisfaction.
Arantxa Zuza
Foodie Guide
Hello everyone! My name is Arantxa, I am 25 years old and I am originally from Hernani, I have grown up in San Sebastian since I was 10 years old. One of my passions is eating, I love trying new food, but above all eating Pintxos with my friends. My favorite Pintxo is txistorra and obviously it would have to be accompanied with something, with my favorite drink, apple cider! I also love listening to music and dancing, but what I like most is meeting new people and showing off the city where I grew up, along with the food, drinks and local people here!
