Amazing experience!!!

Margarita_G, Jul 2025

Espelette was my favorite town in the basque region. The landscape and how Green it was reminded me of Latin America. Loved all the history about the use of pepper and how it is sun dried on the house’s front porch. Best meal in France was in a tiny restaurant in this town. Loved all the pepper infused condiments including the ketchup, honey, salt and sauce. Biarritz was very nice. Thank you Jeremy (our wonderful guide) for such an amazing experience!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hello Margarita 👋, Thank you so much for sharing your experience ! We’re thrilled Espelette left such a strong impression with its beautiful landscapes and rich history. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the unique pepper infused treats and had an unforgettable meal there. We’re also glad Biarritz lived up to your expectations. Jeremy will be happy to hear your kind words thanks again for joining us 😊! See you 🍷

Vincent was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with him. Great pace of tour good recommendations on restaurants and Bordeaux activities as well

It was a beautiful day of stress free travel to the beautiful Basque Basque Country!

Susan_V, Aug 2023

It was wonderful to visit and learn about the Basque Country from our guide who we found to be very flexible, accommodating obliging and respectful. It was so convenient to be picked up and dropped back at our hotel by our driver/guide who was a good safe driver. We saw a lot in 10 hours due to the efficiency of our driver despite the volume of traffic and minimal parking options. Taking this one day tour was a good option to get a taste of the Basque Country.

Quel guide !!!!

Marcel_D, Aug 2024

Notre guide et chauffeur se nommait René et nous avons été enchantés d’avoir eu recours à ses services. Il connaît la région à fond, de l’histoire aux anecdotes, et nous transmet ses connaissances de façon claire et limpide. Il est aussi un excellent chauffeur avec qui les longues routes peuvent même être agréables.
