This was a great day out visiting 3 lovely and very different locations. Our guide/drive Cally was fantastic and looked after us for the day as well as providing wonderful commentary. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to visit these locations, especially San Sebastian!
We saw many beautiful cities; we wish we had more time to explore. Overall, we were very satisfied. Our guide was helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you.
This trip is a very long day but does cover a lot of ground! The visits to Biarritz, Saint Jean de Luz and San Sebastián were all most enjoyable with the journeys between them being punctuated with the almost permanent commentary from the irrepressible Borja! How anyone can possibly speak as much as he did for several hours is definitely a point to note. His pride and enthusiasm speaking about the Basque Country and way of life was clear. Good value for a whistle stop tour spanning two countries!
The trip was well organized. But on the way there we were treated to a lecture in Spanish about the Basque language for an hour. Not to chop. There was also an English speaking guide but he spoke very poor English and knew nothing. He was sympathetic, though. In short, recommended for the organization but definitely not for the guides.
Our guide Borja was fun and engaging. He told us about Basque history and culture of the 3 towns. It was a pleasant and interesting day trip from Bilbao.
Helpful, kind, informative guide
Igor is a wonderful guide. He made the trip interesting and is so kind. I enjoyed the sights, especially San Sebastian. I recommend this trip, and the guide. So worth it.
Exceptional tour! Going to France was great and San Sebastián was amazing. Tour guide Borjas was spectacular - very knowledgeable!
The guide was super nice, unfortunately the fear did not accompany but that one is already foreign to him, otherwise all good
A great opportunity to see a lot on the same day. The trip gives you highlights and ideas what you want to explore on your own in subsequent trips.
