    Beautiful scenery! Advanced hike if you take all the steps to the top but worth every step! Beatrice was a fabulous guide. She could slip in and out of at least four languages. Would highly recommend this tour and our guide.

    Spectacular Gaztelugatxe! Well worth visiting…indeed lots of stairs, however doable! Don’t forget to ring the bell three times when you reach the small church! Guernika (to Gernikara) has its own tragic story, while Mundaka is a quaint fishing village! Adar, our guide was very passionate in sharing his knowledge and thoughts regarding the history of the Basque Country and the places visited! I highly recommend this unique tour!
