Itinerary
Heading westward, we will bump into extensive green fields packed with Txakoli vineyards overlooking the sea and catch a glimpse of our first destination: the beautiful coastal town of Getaria, known for being an important fishing sea port, home to the museum of famous fashion designer Cristobal Balenciaga, and the birthplace of Juan Sebastian Elcano, the first man to circumnavigate the earth. Enjoy a guided stroll through the village and its famous port, while learning about its history, the traditional Basque fishing methods, and important personalities born in Getaria.
We will admire the spectacular coastline of the province of Gipuzkoa and the famous Flysch of Zumaia, one of the locations used for the filming of Game of Thrones Season 7. From here, we will take a short stroll along the Flysch Route and contemplate one of the most breathtaking sceneries of the entire Basque Coast (also a wonderful spot for photo opportunities).
Continuing westward, we will cross into the province of Bizkaia to visit the village of Gernika, best known outside of the Basque region for being the place where one of the first aerial bombings against civilian population took place in 1937.
Following the coastal road, we will arrive to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, another location used for the filming of Game of Thrones Season 7, to admire the breathtaking views of this ancient islet on the Gulf of Biscay from its lookout point. Note: we will only stop for a few minutes for photo opportunities; we will not do the hike to the top of the hermitage.
We will arrive into Bilbao to drop you off at your accommodation in the city and bid you farewell. This marks the end of our transfer trip through the Basque Coast.

This was the most spectacular day. We saw parts of the Basque Country that we would have never seen. We learned, we walked, we laughed. Anders was an awesome tour guide!
Eskerrik asko Masha!
This was the second private tour we did with the Go Basque company. We were excited to do this tour as we were so pleased with the first tour we had with them . We had the same driver and guide for this tour and we felt very comfortable with his driving and guiding skills. We were specially surprised how beautiful the 3 towns we visited along the Basque Coast on our way to Bilbao. They were small towns but each one was amazingly beautiful. I don't think my husband and I would have known of this places without having signed up for this tour. As usual he gave us so much history and information on each of the town we visited, we weren't rushed at all to see this places. Our guide also gave us time alone to enjoy as much as we could. He gave us a brief city tour of Bilbao on our way to the hotel. This tour is definitely a great way of seeing the Basque Coast plus you get to have a private transfer to your hotel either in Bilbao or San Sebastian.
Thanks again for you nice review! I am happy to read that you had a nice day on your transfer tour from Donostia to Bilbao! Eskerrik asko and I hope to see you and Michael back again in the Basque Country!!
The day was beautiful and tour guide provided a memorable experience. He was very knowledgeable on the coast, city, traditions, history, he was totally flexible regarding our schedule, times, etc.
What a fabulous tour! Ander was so knowledgeable, friendly, kind, interesting and understanding of the needs of two older women. He introduced us to the Basque culture and community and showed such passion for the people and the land. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to spend the day exploring with a lovely guide.
