A wealth of knowledge
edb838, Dec 2024
Ania is a wealth of knowledge. She led us to the best places for food and history. Basque Country is complex and beautiful. She helped us discover that with our own eyes
Excellent experience in Basque Country

Martine is an attentive, knowledgeable and wonderful guide. His knowledge of the Basque history and culture is vast. We had a wonderful day with him visiting the towns on the coast.
Three jewels in 20 km
Diego G, Oct 2024
We escaped from the Pillar Festivals and the experience was stratospheric. We arrived in San Sebastián to eat pintxos (we had three specific places to visit absolutely amazing that I will write about) and then go to our home in Fuenterrabia. The weather has accompanied all weekend. Lucky we had to leave on Thursday 10th so we could do our little Tour. We have done tourism of all kinds, cultural and non-gastronomic for the three jewels of Iparralde. Hondarribia is unrivalled when it comes to tourist offer and for all ages. The old stronghold, the castle today, the medieval streets and its multicolored houses with a history of Spain behind them to envy, the fishing port, the tapas there and below in San Pedro, climb the hermitage of Guadalupe, go to the Lighthouse, even the spectacle of seeing from the prop the landing of planes... endless possibilities and without needing many days to do it. Yes car. Money if you know how to optimize a broken one. It is true that we had a house that is certainly a lot. From there , without car , boat to Hendaye and enjoy walking its splendid walk and all its beach, marina and all the houses style “there” which is crazy. The next day we went to Biarritz and San Juan de Luz. Direct to the beautiful palace of Napoleon III to have an aperitif on the terrace and then walk along the pedestrian main street. Endless locals and a lot of atmosphere and a French air of those that recall some movies of yesteryear. Your Honor. From there to eat at San Juan de Luz. Gambeta, Louis XIV square and of course not all that sensory offer of chocolate soap pintxos wines and of course their mussels with potatoes!! What a special place where the French, the Spanish and the Basque mix and make it irresistible. Three jewels to keep you from missing
Full Day Basque-Style
Curiosity381370, Oct 2024
Despite the rain, we spent the day visiting three distinctly different cities, hearing about the history of each, the region’s influence thoroughout the centuries. Iker was fantastic and couldn’t speak more highly of this all day excursion. St Jean de Luz is a must see!!!
Itinerary
Phare de Biarritz
Biarritz is many things: Europe’s gateway to surfing in the mid-50s, a pioneer of beach tourism (they started promoting it 200 years ago!), and one of the most coveted places to see and be seen. We’ll walk along its promenade admiring the sea and its sumptuous hotels until we reach its 44-meter-high lighthouse.
20 minutesMercado Les Halles
We’ll visit the colorful market Les Halles to take the pulse of daily life and get in touch with the greatest that France has to offer: its cheeses, its charcuterie and its bakeries / patisseries. Bon Apetit!
1 hourSaint-Jean-de-Luz
Protected by a bay, Saint Jean de Luz is a peaceful summer fishing village where we we’ll visit the Maison Adam patisserie where, in 1660 (!) they created the famous ‘macaron’. At that same time, a certain Johannès de Suhigaraychipi, a French corsair who captured more than 100 British, Dutch and Spanish ships, was sailing through the area.
1 hourCorniche Basque
They call it ‘La route de la Corniche’ and it is one (yet another!) of the most beautiful roads in the Basque Country. The section between Ciboure and Hendaye is only 8 kilometers long, but you’ll never want it to end. Well, actually, you will, because when it's over, it will mean that you've reached...
Hondarribia
The last (or first, depending on how you look at it) city on the Spanish coast is a privileged place with sea, river, bay, mountains, a fishing district at the forefront of world cuisine (says the New York Times!), and a walled medieval neighborhood (with streets not suitable for heels) at the top.
1 hourJaizkibel
There is no better way to get to San Sebastián than through the road that runs along the crest of Mount Jaizkibel, and from which you can see the Basque coast to Bizkaia.
