Paul was outstanding! ... - Paul was outstanding! Exemplary! San Juan Gaztelugatxe was unbelievable and Guernica was amazing. Seeing the Basque Country along the way and being told the history of areas was very informative.

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.

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

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.
