Customer Reviews
We had a great experience with Basque Tours. Our guide Kai was knowledgeable, easygoing, and made the evening really enjoyable. The stops he chose were excellent, and we learned a lot about the food and the city along the way. Communication before the tour was clear and helpful, and everything was well organized. Thank you to Kai and the team for a really nice evening in San Sebastián. We would happily recommend the tour.
Awesome. We decided to use Basque Tours based on prior reviews and worked out perfectly. We wanted a point to point tour from Bilbao to San Sebastian with a detour along the coast. Our guide, Andy, was great and extremely knowledgeable. We visited San Juan de Gaztelugatxe and saw the infamous GOT dragonstone staircase, learned about Basque History in Gernika, enjoyed a beach with incredible geological flysch formations in Zumaia and visited the charming fishermen’s town of Getaria and had a lunch at one of the many outstanding grilled fish restaurants. Highly recommended.
We recently had Basque Tours arrange 3 separate day excursions from San Sebastián to various parts of the Basque Country. We had an outstanding experience and recommend them very highly! Each of our excursions had a different guide -- by design; BT believes their guests should experience different perspectives when booking multiple experiences, and it really works. Each of our guides -- Vincent, Andy, and Begonia -- was very personable, knowledgeable, and made our experiences really engaging. At the same time, each had a very different background and perspective on Basque culture and history, making our collective 3 days much richer. If you are looking for a local firm to take you deep into the Basque experience, look no further! 5 Stars!
