Small Group Guided Half Day Tour Visit to San Juan Gaztelugatxe
Description
San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is probably the most beautiful corner along the Basque Coast and we know who to make every visit special. We follow a more is less policy, which guaranties the quality and personalisation of each tour. We always tour with small groups, up to eight people. Joining our tours is like joining a group of friends. No rush, there will be always time for a coffee or snack . The schedule has been designed to avoid the crowds and enjoy the superb nature of this tour. The tours are delivered by the same official guide, born and raised in the area. Even my parents were married here. I like talking widely about the places we visit and making every visit unique and personal.

Itinerary
Departure from the city centre and drive to Bakio. Enjoy the pretty Basque landscape
This area is full of beautiful landscapes, great culture, superb gastronomy and breath-taking history. This popular spot is much more than film set and I want to introduce its great natural richness and contribute to the conservation of the place. Discover the most popular spot around Bilbao on a different way! The way we work makes it special. Avoid the crowds and join our group of friends. We don`t go with more than eight people, making every experience unique and personal. I will be then tour guide, ensuring the quality of every tour. Actually, this is a special spot for me, as my parents were married in this Chapel. Once we arrive to the area of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, if weather permits, we’ll go to a secret viewpoint hidden among the vegetation. There you’ll get an idea of the hike. Then we’ll hike till the top of the island for 90 minutes. On our way I’ll explain the importance of this place for the locals.
Drive back to the city.

Excellent experience, landscapes and incredible view (only the dragons were missing :) ), stairs hard to climb, but the ramp on the way back is much harder!!! Joseba is an excellent guide, fun, informal, and casual. I recommend this tour.
Great visit and perfect guide ! The guide explained very well and we can see he really like his job. I recommand this visit !
Absolutely fantastic. Excellent guide and beautiful place!
Josef was an outstanding tour guide. He was easy to communicate with, and very friendly and informative. The length of the trip was spot-on, and the early departure was a MUST. The small group made it intimate, and it was great to learn about the region and the sites during the drive. He also made entry to the park seamless. This is a must-do.
I was looking forward to visiting San Juan de Gaztelugatxe finally after so many years and the truth is that the visit did not disappoint! Small group of 8 people where Joseba was attentive at all times to ensure we learned the history and details of the site. A 10 for him, highly recommended. Also, I think it is a well-structured tour where you go early to see the site you really want to see.
Great experience, stunning place to visit. Our Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Great tour with a small group. Getting up early was definitely worth it. Everything worked out well. Joseba explained everything great. He speaks several languages.
Such a great day.. really enjoyed it, great guide.
Excellent option to go directly to the island. The guide was great and the transportation excellent
Excellent trip. Definitely need to be fit to do it, as it was a very steep walk back. The route is paved, so boots aren’t needed; trainers are fine. Great guide and glad we did it in the cool of the morning. Can definitely recommend.
