Really a great time with family, I recommend it to everyone! Not to be missed if you are in the area
Great! Thank you for this discovery of Bayonne. We had a very good time. So pleasant that we are thinking of visiting Biarritz soon ;). See you soon
We had a great experience with Amalur Tours. It was a fantastic mix of history, beautiful sights, and amazing viewpoints, along with some fun facts about the city that kept the tour engaging. We learned a lot and also had the chance to try some delicious chocolate and local cheese. Thank you for such a memorable experience. Highly recommended!
Had a great tour of the beautiful Bayonne with Maider. She was full of knowledge of the little details that make this city so interesting. Had a great dove into Basque culture and history. Highly recommended.
I loved this tour of Bayonne! The city is super pretty, full of life and history. Between the small streets, the colorful facades and the Basque atmosphere, you feel right away. The guide was great, funny and passionate, he told lots of interesting things without it being heavy. We also had time to stroll quietly, take pictures and even taste some local specialties. Frankly, it was a great moment to do without hesitation if you really want to feel the spirit of Bayonne.
A highly recommended visit. Bayonne is beautiful and a great stranger. Maider, the guide, charming and always willing to please. Thank you very much.

Little tour of Bayonne super nice. Good mix of cultural discovery and good restaurant deals. With the added bonus of good information to extend the day by picking up sunsets in the most beautiful beach bars in the area thanks to the advice of the charming Maid, a solar guide in love with the area and people. His company was more than pleasant, thank you Maider for this cool ride!
Our guide was amazing , super engaging, sharing both the city’s history and Basque culture with great humor and enthusiasm. The highlight for me was definitely the chocolate tasting! I highly recommend this tour!
Many thanks Maider for your tour! We had a great time and really enjoyed it with you. Can’t wait to visit Biarritz as well.
