Off the beaten Track “at the coast” - Felix was extremely knowledgeable! He was able to explain the history and background of the various destinations as well as the geographical aspects of the terrain. I really enjoyed the trip.

Highly recommended visit - I chose this tour to learn more about Basque culture and get closer to the history and curiosities of the towns of Zarautz, Getaria and Zumaia.
Excellent guide and his explanations.
We have enjoyed the extensive beach of Zarautz and walked through the old town with the medieval market these days.
In Getaria we have enjoyed the smell of the town's restaurants that prepare fresh grilled fish and the famous white wine (chacolí de Guetaria) among the monuments to Elcano.
Finally, we visited the hermitage of San Telmo with its beautiful viewpoint and the curious Flysch formations of Zumaia.

Informative guided tour of the Basque’s dazzling coastal villages - We had a very good morning touring the Basque Country and its charming coastal villages. We stopped at historical landmarks and beaches along the way. Mikel was very informative as we stopped at each beautiful location. The Biscayne Bay towering cliffs were absolutely breathtaking.

Great tour of beautiful villages - Great trip. Got to see a lot of sights we never would have seen otherwise. Beautiful scenery and a very good guide. We got to walk up hidden paths that you would only know if you were a local.

Great way to explore Basque coast - An efficient way to easily explore more of the beautiful Basque Coast. The weather was perfect and the pace and less-strenuous level of activity was perfect for traveling with my 80 year-old father. The tour ended up being a private since we were the only ones booked for that time/day, so our guide offered some level of personalization. There were four stops on the tour -- overlook of Zarautz, walk through Zarautz near the beach, walk through Getaria, and a stop overlooking the Zumaia flysch. Our guide was very knowledgeable and her English was very good. We very much enjoyed seeing these areas beyond San Sebastián.
