Hondaribba - Jose was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. He made special allowances for my husband and myself as we had some issues with walking. Will highly recommend him.

Thoroughly worthwhile and enjoyable experience - An excellent trip with Josu thoroughly enjoyed his excellent knowledge of the places we visited and knowing some of history made our visit more memorable. Hondarribia is a beautiful hillside town old cobbled streets and the day we visited there was a lovely market on. After a short break we proceeded Sean Pedro and San Juan taking a short ferry trip between the two. Again Josu explained the social history of the places. Thoroughly enjoyable excursion.

Wonderful day with Josu! - We had a terrific time with our very personable tour guide Josu who arrived promptly at our hotel to pick us up on our guided tour of Hondaribba, San Juan and San Pedro. We were very impressed with Josu, who even brought a notebook to make sure that he told us all the right facts about the old town of Hondaribba and the French Basque country across the river, both which were incredible sights. Josu then drove us through Mount Jaizkibel along the coast which had unbelievable views of the Bay of Biscay, and then guided us through relaxed walks of the very quaint fishing villages of San Juan and San Pedro. Josu was very knowledgeable about all three areas, sharing about the history, people and culture. He was also very happy to answer all of our questions. We had a great time together, and at the end of the day I felt like we were saying goodbye to our new friend. Thank you so much for a wonderful and educational experience, Josu!

What you didn't imagine in northern Spain - Iker was our guide who from the beginning was super punctual and attentive to walk all the information. Upon arriving at each part of the tour I knew very well the historical data of the site. Super recommended. In the end we had an unexpected and exciting surprise that was the cherry on the cake.
