Martin was great and very accommodating. We went with our 2 year old and changed the itinerary a bit and Martin was great in adjusting to our schedule. He was very knowledgeable about the history of each area and took us to different scenic spots to take pictures. We are thankful to experience the coastal Basque area with such a knowledgeable and kind guide. Thank you Martin!

Miguel was very informative - knowledgeable in the culture and the area! He was on a schedule and we were not!! A little more flexibility would have been nice. But a beautiful day all together

Martin was wonderful. He provided excellent history, stories from his family, and was flexible to our preferences. He also organized a dinner and private ride for us that evening.

Our Guide Markel gave us an excellent tour; very well prepared in the history and customs of the Basque culture. Cheerful, jovial and enjoyable took us to know Top-rated places on the contracted tour. He also gave us helpful tips to make our visit more pleasant. Thanks Marcelo.
In no time, you’ll have made it to the center of Bayonne famed for its romantic medieval charm, half-timbered buildings and delicious chocolate. That is correct! Bayonne is called the French capital of chocolate and it played a pivotal role in the spread of the cocoa confection through Europe. In other words - you have to try it! You’ll stroll down the cobbled streets of the Historic Part discovering picturesque corners of the city, chocolate stores and one of the most beautiful cathedrals in France. Saint Mary of Bayonne Cathedral was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998 and a Historic Monument since 1862.
Next up, is Biarritz known for its beautiful beaches, therapeutic waters and surf scene. You’ll walk along the shore enjoying brilliant views of the sea to finally reach impressive 44 meters tall lighthouse built in 1834! From there we will head to Les Halles - a vibrant area of Biarritz and visit the food market. It is a perfect place to observe everyday life with locals having bubbly conversations while shopping for their favorite cheese, charcuterie or boulangerie.
From Saint Jean de Luz we will continue along one of the most beautiful coastal roads of Basque Country - La Corniche. Here, we will enjoy scenic views of the steep cliffs and layers of rock emerging from the ocean.
In the quiet seaside resort of Saint Jean de Luz you will stroll along the streets of the town listening to the thrilling stories of local pirates - Corsairs, sailors and fisherman. We will also find time to visit the 13th century church of St. John the Baptist with its remarkable hull-shaped wood-panelled vault.
We can stop for a lunch in one of the lovely restaurants in Saint Jean de Luz or eat in Biarritz market hall that is also a fantastic choice for a delicious, fresh meal.
