Great day in the Basque Country. - Great day in the Basque Country with our guide Olaia. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and had a great sense of humour. We have done many of these, and this day certainly ranks with the best.

A must do experience. - We traveled to several towns and cities and saw the beautiful coast and places we never would’ve found on our own. Our guides were passionate about the culture, history, and the culinary offerings of the region. We Learned so much and got to experience Some very special Basque traditional meals. We were with the guides for four days and we highly recommend that amount of time. Our guides were also energetic, Flexible and friendly. I only regret that we did not have more time. The Basque country was our favorite part of Spain

Wonderful private excursion from Cruise port to San Sebastián - Olaia was a great guide for our all day private tour. When faced with a sail away time for our cruise ship that was an hour earlier than expected she quickly made adjustments that still allowed us to cover all of our areas of interest. She is a treasure.

Three Outstanding Tours! - I would highly recommend The Best of Basque tour company! We took three tours with them and each one exceeded our expectations. The Bilbao Food Tour was a small group of ten people. We went to five pintxo bars, ate two delicious pintxos at each location and had wine as well. We particularly enjoyed Txakoli, a wine specific to this region. Our guide Leire was enthusiastic and full of information about and pride in her city. Our private Bilbao Architecture Tour gave us a great background of the city’s history. Janire is a history teacher so the information was perfect! We also rode the funicular to get a bird’s eye view of Bilbao. Although it rained during our private San Sebastián and Coastal Route tour, we still had a fun time! We sampled an amazing custard pastry, walked around San Sebastián and visited other beautiful locations. We had a perfect lunch of freshly grilled turbot. When our tour finished, Zach went above and beyond to help us with a travel issue that had nothing to do with the tour. If you visit this region, taking a tour with the Best of Basque is a must do!

The Best of Basque Tour Company is Outstanding! - We had an outstanding guide Olaia for our San Sebastián and Coastal Route Tour on September 3. Olaia is from the Basque region and provided a great history of the Basque region and its unique culture and language. She is wonderfully personable and friendly, and is a very experienced guide. We felt as though we were traveling with a member of our family. I cannot imagine a more enjoyable day than the one we had with Olaia. Zach, one of the owners of The Best of Basque, was diligent and responsive as we planned this tour. He always replied in less than 24 hours to my questions and efficiently handled payment for this tour. The Best of Basque is highly recommended for your tours in the Basque region, whether it’s a food tour and daylong tour through this beautiful region of Spain.

Local insight of the Basque coastline - Zachary picked us up at our hotel in St Jean de Luz, took us on tours of the Hondarribia fishing village and the Petritegi Cider House, then dropped us at our new hotel in Bilbao. We hired his company in 2024 to transport us from San Sebastian, Spain to Bilbao with a coastal tour and lunch.
