The three French Basque towns are beautiful. Biarritz is splendid, with its seaside promenade, its coves, excellent cuisine, and friendly service. Saint-Jean-de-Luz, a picturesque town, we explored the regional market and the stalls with various products. We also visited the church and the boulevard by the sea. Beautiful beaches. Bayonne inland. Its Cathedral is impressive, with the stained glass and the entire structure. Just a few steps away is the very modern library with a beautiful building, publications, and all the technology. Must-do tour!!
A perfect tour from beginning to end! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible, making the whole experience enjoyable and personalized. Bayonne, Biarritz, and Saint-Jean-de-Luz were all absolutely beautiful, each with its own unique charm. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Basque Country!
Excellent experience!!! Mateo is super professional and kind
We had a very pleasant drive to Bayonne, Biarritz and Saint Jean de Liz with a very informative tour with Mateo. Plenty to see in beautiful towns and the surrounding area. We enjoyed our dat and would recommend this excursion.
The tour to the French Basque Country was amazing. Martin is an excellent guide, and our tour was amongst the best we did during our visit to the region. He is knowledgeable, and was very flexible with us as we lingered in some places longer than expected and provided an overall great experience for us. Both of us fell in love with Bayonne. He chose a lovely restaurant for our Biarritz visit and included a quick stop in Bidart en route home via Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Would highly recommend.
We had an amazing day trip with our guide, visiting Biarritz, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, and Bayonne. Our guide was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and was incredibly friendly throughout the day. Thank you so much — we hope to see you again! Tim
