My wife and I were so lucky to have Pascu as our guide on this all day bus tour. We felt so relaxed on a Sunday as we crossed into France and visited the idyllic seaside towns of Biarritz and Saint Jean de Lus. We had a wonderful lunch in Saint Jean de Lus. Then the highlight, returning to Spain and the spectacular views of the ocean and bay in San Sebastian. Pascu is highly educated, speaks many languages
...and as an extra treat we chatted about Latin (my wife is a retired teacher) and Stoic philosophy, one of my passions. Just perfect, thanks to Pascu!

Really nice long tour. The price is very fair for what you get. The schedule was tight, that would be the only feedback. Maybe some more time in Biarritz. However, you see a lot of places.
All and all, happy we did it!

It was a beautiful tour. In my opinion San Juan de Luz was the best place. It was a shame we didn't stop there longer for lunch rather than San Sebastian, which was cooked with tourists. The views from the mountain of the bay at San Sebastian were an added highlight. Well worth visiting longer than a few hours but this trip wets the appetite. I recommend the cheesecake in San Sebastian and the ice- cream down by the beach. For those with a sweet-tooth.

Nice tour, well organized day trip. Credit goes to our tour guide Stephen. He even called me because I could not remember the meeting point.

It is a nice trip through Basque country, that included Spanish and French towns. It also allowed to see country side. The guide Pascu was entertaining and knowledgeable.The views were great, but unfortunately we didn't have much time in each place. A little bit more time in San Sebastian. But like our guide said, this tour is just a teaser, to hook us up on the beauty of the region.

Pascu. He made the whole excursion memorable with his knowledge of the Euskadi history and roots. My last name is Sagastume, born in Guatemala, and for many years wanted to visit this part of the World. I am finally here and have enjoyed my travels. Meeting Pascu has been an added bonus. Bilbao is the prettiest City I have visited in the World, Every direction my eyes point, has a pleasant effect on my brain. I wished I could explain it better.
