Discovery of the coastline

5.00A superb morning despite a few drops; traveling with Clémence and Woody was a real pleasure; as a Basque by adoption, Clémence knows her subject perfectly and taught us a lot about the region. Great experience with Woody, an authentic 1978 van. I highly recommend this excursion
Packed with fun

5.00Clémence was a wonderful hostess, our four-hour tour of the French Basque coastline educational and fun, all while travelling in a vintage Kombi van. We unfortunately only had a couple of days in the area otherwise what we learnt and saw on the tour would have been a perfect guide how and where to spend a few more following days. Highly recommended as an experience
Discover Biarritz and local Basque culture.

5.00Clemence was a very knowledgeable tour guide and provided detailed insights into the BASQUE spirit and way of life. This tour visited multiple small towns along the Basque coast and even included a stop at a local bakery and Basque cake tasting. Riding around in the VW Woody was very comfortable and added to the local surfing charm of the area. Would highly recommend this tour. 10 out of 10.
Superb Tour - 100% recommended

5.00The guides are very friendly and made us discover places we would not have gone. All with detailed explanations and anecdotes. The most: the van tour, which pleases both passengers and locals seeing it pass! We will come back for a ride as soon as we return to Biarritz for sure!
