Additional Information

The Basque Country is a wonderfully scenic and history-laden part of France.

We will traverse through the Landes and its lush pine forest, making our way to the first stop on our itinerary, Espelette, a delightful village renowned for its mild peppers. You will get the opportunity to meander through the stone-paved lanes and marvel at the quaint half-timbered dwellings and chili-draped facades, as well as visiting local food shops to sample distinct gastronomic delights.

Our subsequent stop will be Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, a historic medieval town situated along the Santiago de Compostela route. You can roam the tight streets and aged architectural structures, and, if you like, tour the commanding citadel that overlooks the town. A great spot to indulge in a leisurely lunch can be found here.

Eventually, we will reach Biarritz, a delightful coastal resort renowned for its golden beaches and stunning architecture. You’ll have ample leisure time to wander the streets, explore or just recline on the beach side, absorbing the ocean’s panoramic view.

Great tour and Great guide/driver! - Awesome experience ! Guide Xavier was professional, knowledgeable, interesting and funny. We always felt safe as he was driving. Very comfortable. It was a long day, to be sure (8am-7pm). I highly recommend the Basque Country tour.

It was a beautiful day of stress free travel to the beautiful Basque Basque Country! - It was wonderful to visit and learn about the Basque Country from our guide who we found to be very flexible, accommodating obliging and respectful. It was so convenient to be picked up and dropped back at our hotel by our driver/guide who was a good safe driver. We saw a lot in 10 hours due to the efficiency of our driver despite the volume of traffic and minimal parking options. Taking this one day tour was a good option to get a taste of the Basque Country.
