Discover the Basque region that surrounds Bilbao called Biscay (Bizkaia in Basque language) during a full-day trip from San Sebastian. Fall in love with the charming 10th century hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe and climb its 241 stairs to get to the top and enjoy its magnificent views. Game of Thrones' 7th season was shot here, so find yourself at Dragonstone!

After recovering from the steep path from the hermitage, head to Bilbao (the financial capital of the Basque Country) and get a glimpse of the architectural and traditional beauties of this wonderful city, including Guggenheim Museum.

    What a fantastic experience. Our guide was Paul G. He was fantastic, knowledgeable, and extremely accommodating. The views from Gaztelugatxe were unbelievable! The hike is demanding and Paul was so helpful and encouraging throughout the hike. We had great food in Bilbao with Pintxos and local wine. The Guggenheim was stunning. Paul was extremely knowledgeable of history, food, and culture. A wonderful introduction to the Basque Country and honestly, Paul, who went above and beyond throughout the day made the experience educational and memorable for my family.

  • Well organized day that...

    The tour was amazing. Our tour guide Paul was very knowledgeable and guided us through Gaztelugatxe and Bilbao with ease. He paired the spectacular walking views with enriching history that gave the visitor locations a much more in depth meaning. He also took us to a local Pintxo restaurant in Bilbao and recommended local items to try. We ended the tour at the Bilbao Guggenheim and saw some truly unique art pieces.

  • Paul is the best!

    Paul was an excellent tour guide. We were a group of four and he took the time to speak to each of us and make sure we were comfortable the whole day. His passion and enthusiasm for all things Basque were clear through his vast knowledge and genuine excitement to share. On the climb to Gazelugatxe, he was supportive for some of the tougher stretches, never leaving anyone behind. He really was an absolute pleasure and one of the best tour guides my husband and I have ever had!! Thank you Paul!
