5.00I loved this tour of Bayonne! The city is super pretty, full of life and history. Between the small streets, the colorful facades and the Basque atmosphere, you feel right away. The guide was great, funny and passionate, he told lots of interesting things without it being heavy. We also had time to stroll quietly, take pictures and even taste some local specialties. Frankly, it was a great moment to do without hesitation if you really want to feel the spirit of Bayonne.

5.00Little tour of Bayonne super nice. Good mix of cultural discovery and good restaurant deals. With the added bonus of good information to extend the day by picking up sunsets in the most beautiful beach bars in the area thanks to the advice of the charming Maid, a solar guide in love with the area and people. His company was more than pleasant, thank you Maider for this cool ride!
