AnaRosa_N, Jul 2026
This tour was more than expected. Especially since we had such a great tour guide, Endika ( I hope I spelled that correctly) To get this tour from a born and raised Basque native was priceless. The history and culture told by Endika was perfect. Be prepared for a hike. We were fortunate to get a cloudy, drizzly day since for days prior it had been over 100 degrees in Gaztelugatxe. Make sure to carry some water. You will be told of this by your tour guide. Our guide also took us around the town of Guernika. As the sun broke through the clouds for a moment, Endi gave us a history lesson of the town. On my vacation through out Spain, I visited many places on tours but this one really left a lasting impression. To learn of the struggles and fight and history of the Basque region and its people was both romantic and brought on empathy as well. I am happy I saved to visit this region last; to keep the memory of the culture, the food, and best of all, the kindness of the people fresh in my mind and heart. Thank you Endika for a wonderful and memorable tour. I hope to visit again and have time to love this region even more!!! Eskerrik asko. Laster arte.

Beautiful, but a bit tiring... still worth it because the landscape is breathtaking, wild, almost mystical.

Would recommend this tour

Would thoroughly recommend this tour but the hike to the monastery is not for the faint hearted. You can sit it out though and still enjoy the scenery. I was glad we took the morning tour as it was very warm the day we went (start of a heatwave)
Response from Host, Jun 2026
