5.00Great!! It's been a great tour with Eider. He explained a lot of curiosities and made the day super enjoyable. It hasn’t stopped raining, but that hasn’t stopped it from being a great tour of the Baztan Valley. Thank you Eider for everything, and I've already taken note for other visits.

5.00The scenery is a past, I would leave more time in Elizondo to have a quiet coffee and walk around the village, in the Caves you could also be more time discovering surroundings.
Superb
