A breathtaking view of northern Spain. - Very informative and visually stunning views of northern Spain. Our guide, Alby, made the excursion fun and entertaining. One suggestion: bring comfortable walking shoes because some of the sites will require lengthy walks to truly appreciate the natural beauty of the coast line.

Brilliant experience and trip was very educational - We had a brilliant experience with Paul our guide for the day. It was a great mix of nature and hearing about the history of what happened in Gernika, which was pretty sobering. Our guide Paul was especially helpful and knowledgeable and caring too. He spoke brilliant English and we learnt a lot from him and about the Basque region. Highly recommend! The views and beautiful countryside were very engaging but yes, it is a tough walk at Gaztelugatxe but Paul applied no pressure and you felt able to do it at your own pace.

Spectacular views and contrasts - Great excursion to Gaztelugatxe and Guernika with the magnificent collaboration of guide Paul. He gave us an unforgettable day. To be objective with the excursion, I must say that you must be in good physical shape and not have mobility problems. Thank you very much to Paul, great person and great professional.

Excursion Gaztelugatxe and Gernika! - Our guide Paul, has been an excellent guide as he has had to do the excursion in bilingual mode. Very grateful from my partner and myself that he is a 100 person and that we had a great time and have been very kind to all of us!

An amazing day - My son and I went on this amazing excursion. We had the best time meeting other people and our guide Paul was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was definitely a hike to get there and back but Paul was patient and even helped carry my bag. After the trip he gave us recommendations where to eat. It was a great day my son and I will never forget! Thank you

This tour was both... - This tour was both beautiful and educational. Our guide Paul was very kind and thoughtful throughout the tour and especially in his telling of the historical and present day importance of Gernika. Gaztelugatxe Is breathtaking and well worth the steep walk. Thank you for an excellent experience!

Beautiful scenery - Fabulous tour with our guide Paul. He is a wealth of information on all the places we visited. Paul was attentive and very helpful as the walk up to and back down from the lookout point and church at Gaztelugatxe can be a challenge. Bonus points, we all know how to pronounce Gaztelugatxe! We enjoyed our excursion with Paul!

Could be better info - Great trip, but it could have been better info that it was not only the 241 steps to go up to the church, but a significant walk first down to the water and not least up again afterwards.
