ビルバオからのプライベートサンセバスチャンとバスクコーストツアー

If you want a tour with a local, this is what you are looking for. Zach took us off the beaten path for some great hikes that otherwise we never would have found. The tour culminated in the lowdown of his favorite pintxos places in San Sebastian

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional experiences I had while participating in five tours organized by The Best of Basque Tour Company. The dedication and enthusiasm displayed by your team members, Irene, Zach, and Olaia, truly reflect their pride in Basque heritage and culture. Each tour, including visits to Bilbao, San Sebastian, the charming Coastal Towns, French Basque regions, Guernica, and small villages, greatly exceeded my expectations. I was particularly impressed by the thoughtful itinerary that included delightful pintxos tastings and memorable lunches at quaint fishing villages. Moreover, your team's extensive historical knowledge and insightful recommendations for additional sights to explore enriched my understanding of the region. Their genuine passion for showcasing the Basque Country made each experience not just enjoyable but also deeply educational. Thank you for providing such remarkable tours that highlight the beauty and richness of Basque culture. I look forward to recommending your services to others and hope to join more of your excursions in the future.

The four of us had the most wonderful day with Irene in San Sebastián. Irene is most pleasant. knowledgeable, energetic and so sweet. The day could not have gone better. If you are in Bilbao or nearby I would tell you to use the Best of Basque and particularly Irene.

This private tour was everything it was advertised to be. Zack picked us up right at our hotel in a beautiful luxury sedan and drove us from Bilbao to a morning walking Tour of San Sebastian. We saw the beaches, the kayak surfers, the bay, the marina, the fresh market. All before it became too crowded. Then we set out for the fishing town of Getaria for some walking and touring before he brought us to a waterside outdoor restaurant for grilled fish, which we simply loved!! You can practically watch the chef cook your fish at the outdoor grill situated just at the front of the restaurant. After lunch we were brought to a geological park along the Atlantic coast that shows rock formations that are millions of years old. This region was featured in the last season of the Game of Thrones saga. In summary, this was a private tour and was exactly what we wanted. No large groups with a guide wearing a headset and you listening to their distorted voice coming thru cheap earbuds; the flexibility to stop for a restroom whenever we needed it; the luxury to have a wonderful and relaxing outdoor lunch and to be able to text Zack whenever we were ready to be picked up; and to have his ear when we had questions, not having to share him with many other tourists and not having to fear monopolizing his time when others also want some attention. If this is the type of experience you are seeking, look no further than this tour option!!

We did a full day tour of San Sebastián, Getaria, and Zumaia with Zach and had a fabulous time. His van is spacious, clean, and comfortable and he is an excellent driver! He “reads his audience” and formulates the tour and pace accordingly. We had a wonderful day and would highly recommend this tour and ANY tour ‘The Best of Basque’ offers as they are true to their name!!

Wow! There are not enough positive adjectives to illustrate how fantastic 'The Best of Basque' are - trust them with everything you want to see and do in the region and you will not be disappointed!! Ahead of our trip Zach was very quick to reply, thorough and detailed in going through various options that they could accommodate and providing recommendations. We booked the 1 day private tour taking us from Bilbao to San Sebastian and had Olaia as our guide for the day. It was an amazing day, we had as long as we wanted in each location (including a rather long and absolutely delicious lunch of anchovies followed by a whole turbot washed down with txakoli whilst enjoying a fabulous view of the port of Getaria - all arranged and recommended by Olaia) and fell in love with the region. Olaia shared so many insights, history, language and recommendations and was a joy to spend the day with chatting, laughing and learning - even sharing additional recommendations for the remainder of our trip. No need to shop around looking at different tour providers - they really are the very best at showing you the best of the basque region. Topa!

We had a wonderful tour with Irene exploring the beautiful city of San Sebastian and the rugged Basque coastline. She was lovely, extremely knowledgable, and shared so much insight into Basque culture. The lunch in Getaria was absolutely delicous. Highly recommend The Best of Basque! Eskerrik asko!!!

Tour highly recommended. Great travel guide. Lots of information about the country and people. Plenty of time. Great recommendations! High degree of reliability. Expectations 100% met!

Great day in the Basque Country with our guide Olaia. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and had a great sense of humour. We have done many of these, and this day certainly ranks with the best.

We traveled to several towns and cities and saw the beautiful coast and places we never would’ve found on our own. Our guides were passionate about the culture, history, and the culinary offerings of the region. We Learned so much and got to experience Some very special Basque traditional meals. We were with the guides for four days and we highly recommend that amount of time. Our guides were also energetic, Flexible and friendly. I only regret that we did not have more time. The Basque country was our favorite part of Spain
