Fabulous day out - well worth it - 3 towns close to each other, all with their own stories and character. The group was great, Javier, our Guide, was very entertaining and took great care of us when we had bus troubles. We didn’t mind spending a couple of additional hours sipping champagne in the sun in beautiful and charming St Jean de Luz - my favourite of the 3 towns. A highlight is the Church where Louis IV married Maria Teresa of Spain - unchanged since then. Also a great 3 course lunch in Bayonne was also v enjoyable. Highly recommend

Great trip, highly recommended! - This trip is essential to understanding the Basque region. The towns we visited were spectacular and Alby was an amazing guide. He gave us plenty of time to explore on our own at every stop. Plus lunch was phenomenal.

Don't miss the chance... - This Tour is a great opportunity to see a little bit the French Basque country. We were so lucky to have Javier as our driver / Guide. He was fantastic ; super knowledgeable, very personable and a great attitude! The trip across the border is really a fairly short one. The first stop is Biarritz, a beautiful seaside town and home to many rich & famous residents. We had time to explore some really cute shops and cafes. You'll find no cheap & tacky tourist shops in this lovely city, they're all 'class'. Bayonne is the next and final stop before returning to Donostia and it possesses its own charms. It is quite a bit larger than Biarritz. We were able to spend 2 hrs here and the walking tour led by Javier was very informative. Lunch was delicious, followed by more shopping! I'm so glad we did this Tour!

French Countryside from San Sebastián - We booked this small group tour that was limited to 6 people. Imagine our delight to find out we had this tour all to ourselves! We had Javier as our guide to Biarritz, Bayonne and St. Jean de Luc. Javier is the perfect guide - he is a native of this Spanish/French Basque region, he is very informative of the differences in culture between each region, he loves to talk about the past, present and future including economics and immigration, as well as providing his personal experiences of todays Basque region versus one of 30 or 40 years ago . The pace was perfect, the countryside was breathtaking, the towns were charming, and the scenery was unbelievable. Highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky you’ll have Javier guide you through your journey.

Day trip from San Sebastian - The tour connects 3 Basque cities, San Sebastian, Biarritz and Bayonne. The guide explains how they developed and why they ended up so different in size, style and substance. Very interesting and informative. Great primer on Basque culture.

Excellent Highlights of Bayonne and Biarritz from San Sebastian. - We had a great experience visiting Bayonne and Biarritz with the guide of Ana. The tour started just on time with only 5 people in a minivan. Ana did an excellent job offering a lot of information during the traveling time to the two destinations. Always willing to answer all of our questions and taking us to nice spots to take pictures and have a quick lunch. We are very satisfied with the tour and would recommend it to any senior couple.
