A must do tour! We had a full day with Martin as our guide. Martin was super knowledgeable and incredibly generous with sharing his knowledge of the area and history. He made sure we were comfortable and went out of his way to give us the best experience. The tour is very well programmed to ensure you get enough time in each area. Highly recommend

The itenary was tight but covered a walking tour and 3 excursions. Absolutely must do if you have an additional day in Bilbao and don’t have a trip to France and San Sebastián in your plans yet. Totally worth it! I loved the guides and the experience! ¡Esto muy bueno!

Felix was very knowledgeable & accommodated the group very well - 10/10!

We got great information on our way from Bilbao to Biarritz!

Mikel was great and tailored the trip to our interests
