5.00We had an absolutely wonderful day with Maider as she guided us through the Basque region of France. Maider was very knowledgeable, had a wonderful sense of humor, and taught us about the region by introducing us to a cultural experience of food, environment, and historical structures. The tour was a very relaxed pace where we could take our time to soak in the sights and experience. In addition to showing us Bayonne and Biarritz, Maider asked if we all had a few minutes for a quick "detour" to see one of her favorite local spots in between the two towns. I won't spoil it by revealing where we went, but it was special to get this insight and perspective from a native resident! Thank you Maider for a very memorable day!
Great trip, highly recommended!

5.00This trip is essential to understanding the Basque region. The towns we visited were spectacular and Alby was an amazing guide. He gave us plenty of time to explore on our own at every stop. Plus lunch was phenomenal.

5.00This Tour is a great opportunity to see a little bit the French Basque country. We were so lucky to have Javier as our driver / Guide. He was fantastic ; super knowledgeable, very personable and a great attitude! The trip across the border is really a fairly short one. The first stop is Biarritz, a beautiful seaside town and home to many rich & famous residents. We had time to explore some really cute shops and cafes. You'll find no cheap & tacky tourist shops in this lovely city, they're all 'class'. Bayonne is the next and final stop before returning to Donostia and it possesses its own charms. It is quite a bit larger than Biarritz. We were able to spend 2 hrs here and the walking tour led by Javier was very informative. Lunch was delicious, followed by more shopping! I'm so glad we did this Tour!
