5.00We had an incredible time on the Biarritz and French coast tour, and our guide Josu truly made it unforgettable. His knowledge of the history, culture, and hidden details of the region was outstanding, and he shared it in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. Josu made both my wife and me feel completely comfortable throughout the day, even as I kept trying to detour us off the itinerary—he kept us on track with a smile and a sense of humor. He navigated seamlessly between Spanish, excellent English, and just enough French to keep us well-fed and entertained across the border. The tour itself was fantastic, but Josu made it extraordinary. He started the day as our guide and ended it as a friend. Highly recommend both the experience and especially Josu as your guide.
The French Basque cities are a nice day excursion to any San Sebastián trip. Worth it

1.00This “small group tour” wasn’t small after all. There were 33 people altogether and 5 of them were English speaking the rest were Spanish speakers. English speakers didn’t get headphone and we would not hear the tour guide who could barely speak English. The tour was rushed and we felt like there wasn’t enough time to enjoy. Overall misleading and poorly organized.
It's all right; give time...
