Paul was an excellent guide and gave us so much insight into the area and Basque culture. We reallly enjoyed the scenic coast and moving tour of Guernica.
A breathtaking view of northern Spain.

Very informative and visually stunning views of northern Spain. Our guide, Alby, made the excursion fun and entertaining. One suggestion: bring comfortable walking shoes because some of the sites will require lengthy walks to truly appreciate the natural beauty of the coast line.
Brilliant experience and trip was very educational

We had a brilliant experience with Paul our guide for the day. It was a great mix of nature and hearing about the history of what happened in Gernika, which was pretty sobering. Our guide Paul was especially helpful and knowledgeable and caring too. He spoke brilliant English and we learnt a lot from him and about the Basque region. Highly recommend! The views and beautiful countryside were very engaging but yes, it is a tough walk at Gaztelugatxe but Paul applied no pressure and you felt able to do it at your own pace.
Spectacular views and contrasts

Our guide Paul, has been an excellent guide as he has had to do the excursion in bilingual mode. Very grateful from my partner and myself that he is a 100 person and that we had a great time and have been very kind to all of us!

Great trip, but it could have been better info that it was not only the 241 steps to go up to the church, but a significant walk first down to the water and not least up again afterwards.
A fantastic day trip

My son and I went on this amazing excursion. We had the best time meeting other people and our guide Paul was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was definitely a hike to get there and back but Paul was patient and even helped carry my bag. After the trip he gave us recommendations where to eat. It was a great day my son and I will never forget! Thank you

This tour was both beautiful and educational. Our guide Paul was very kind and thoughtful throughout the tour and especially in his telling of the historical and present day importance of Gernika. Gaztelugatxe Is breathtaking and well worth the steep walk. Thank you for an excellent experience!
