About
The breathtaking views from the top of La Rhune, after a rested climb up on the train, set the relaxed mood for this day trip. Later, head towards Sare, where we will have lunch first to visit the village and the caves full of energy. To end the day, we will stop by in Espelette, famous for its local peppers (you can purchase some if you wish) before going back to San Sebastian. We will drop you off at your hotel, so you don't need to worry about any logistics during the whole day!

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Lena S0 contributionsAmazing experience, highly recommendWonderful day with best guide (knowledgable and friendly). Out to the coast, then Munduka, then Guernika - at a perfect pace. No stress, small group, and great conversation.Written 24 January 2025
- Seancreighton0 contributionsHighly recommend!We really enjoyed our afternoon in the wonderful company of Anna! She gave us many fascinating insights into the history of St Sebastian and we enjoyed some delicious Pinxos with wine pairings as we toured the old town. Thank you Anna!Written 19 January 2025
- X9342TNadriank0 contributionsGernika and SJGAmazing views, good timing to see Gaztelugatxe before crowds arrived. Gernika was a nice surprise with rich historical components aside from a tragic story. Excellent pintxos spot in Gernika. Ana was very attentive and conscientious!Written 17 January 2025
- S6332UXcarolync0 contributionsPerfect Evening in Every Way!Iker was so much fun to be around. We had so many laughs whilst enjoying some of the most delicious food I have eaten in Spain, and I’ve been five times. Our group had a great vibe and I was so glad I chose to do this tour at the last moment. It was well worth it and Iker explained the dishes and wines clearly. I felt privileged to be part of this great group of people.Written 13 January 2025
- S6332UXcarolync0 contributionsMagic in the Bay of BiscayOnce again Ana was very knowledgeable about Gaztelugatxe and Guernika and her English is perfect. I feel so comfortable, safe and happy doing her tours. I feel I have learnt so much and loved all of the experiences we had. A visit to The Assembly House of Gernika was well worth it as was everything we did. Ana helped us other our pintxos abd drinks and I feel we spent the right amount of time on each activity.Written 13 January 2025
- albacorp70 contributionsA nice morning around San SebastianOur guide was very charismatic, and everything was done on time. However, I think that Zarautz has no much to see, and we spent a bit too long there, and it would be better to leave more time for Zumaia, to at least go down on the beach and walk it. For us this was a bit disappointing, as we took the tour mostly because of that. Since we just saw it from above. The rest of the tour was very interesting and full of anecdotes.Written 11 January 2025
- S6332UXcarolync0 contributionsEnjoyable day out and aboutAna was very attentive, knowledgeable and extremely caring. I learnt a lot and admire her ability to build a rapport with her clients. She is very professional and I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves seascapes, history and local produce. Ana explained it all so well.Written 11 January 2025
- Connector101538009820 contributionsMountain and SeaThe views from the the Santa Barbara Fort are amazing. Ana, our guide, was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The tour goes by rather fast so it is good morning addition to a tight schedule.Written 2 January 2025
- JohnM143850 contributionsAmazing tour with the best guide aroundAmazing trip with personal touch and professional sensitivity. Albie took us on a memorable trip and showed us the best of Basque in the trip. He is an asset to the agency and should be highly commended. -JohnWritten 23 December 2024
- 209nicolat0 contributionsGreat tour! Don’t miss outWe had a great time with Alby who is very nice and teaches us a lot about the Basque region! We had a great time in Rioja and the wine there is out of our expecatations! The lunch is very good as well with all the wines and digestifs. Great tour! Highly recommend!Written 23 December 2024
- 208smaragdal0 contributionsGreat experience!Our guide was super helpful, knowledgeable and took us on a wonderfully paced tour around Pais Basco. We really enjoyed our experience!Written 22 December 2024
- Elena_YY880 contributionsAwesome “private” tour of the French Basque Country!Today took a tour with Alby, which was basically a private tour since it’s low season in November here (yes!) He drove us to Biarritz, Bayonne, and Saint Jean de Luz and gave us an interesting tour of each of these French Basque Cities. He showed us interesting sites (my favorite was the Rocher de la Vierge or the Rock of the Virgin in Biarritz) and had us experienced the excellent chocolates of Bayonne and then got to try the Pare Gabea (or the original macaron of Saint Jean de Luz). It was a great introduction to the French Basque Country and lovely lunch in Bayonne (the dessert at the restaurant was light and amazing!!) Awesome almost 8 hour tour with pickup and drop off back at the hotel, thank you for an excellent job Alby and a spectacular day!!Written 26 November 2024
- Elena_YY880 contributionsExcellent walking tour packed with lots info!Took this tour to be more familiar with Donostia San Sebastián as this is my first time truly visiting this beautiful city. Fabian was our guide and he spent two hours giving us tons of historical information about the city and pointing out interesting historical details as still seen today. I definitely had a deeper understanding of Donostia San Sebastián and greatly appreciated Fabian’s profound historical knowledge intertwining our two hour informative walk from the new town to the old town to end with a pintxo and a drink at Restaurante Gandarias… tour worth taking if you want an introduction or to learn more about the history and culture of Donostia San Sebastián!Written 25 November 2024
- cormaco8920 contributionsBrilliant activity on our first dayGreat tour with Fabian. He was knowledgeable about the history and also good company! Would recommend to anyone who needs an introduction to the city.Written 17 November 2024
- peter67c0 contributionsGreat views and historyOur guide was awesome, Victor. Spoke about the history, people of these places we visited. The views were spectacular. We'll worth the money. Best bang for your buckWritten 15 November 2024

We've been wanting to make this visit for some time. We had spoken very well of the area. Once the tour was done we understood why they had not spoken well of it. Perfect for nature lovers and picturesque villages in the Basque country. The Guide's work was excellent and we can only recommend this tour to all audiences.
