Biarritz and French Coast small group tour from San Sebastián 30/6/2025 - Cannot recommend enough. Our guide Jesu was excellent. He was knowledgeable, passionate and went well above and beyond.
He ensured everybody’s needs were met and gave us an excellent insight in to the basque and spanish cultures as well as details of the historical relevance of all the towns we visited. Thank you Jesu!!

Awesome experience with Maider! - We had an absolutely wonderful day with Maider as she guided us through the Basque region of France. Maider was very knowledgeable, had a wonderful sense of humor, and taught us about the region by introducing us to a cultural experience of food, environment, and historical structures. The tour was a very relaxed pace where we could take our time to soak in the sights and experience. In addition to showing us Bayonne and Biarritz, Maider asked if we all had a few minutes for a quick "detour" to see one of her favorite local spots in between the two towns. I won't spoil it by revealing where we went, but it was special to get this insight and perspective from a native resident! Thank you Maider for a very memorable day!

I’m a huge fan of this local company! - Javier, our guide, was excellent. It really makes a difference when the guides are local and so knowledgeable. These small groups make for a fun day. I’m a huge fan of this Company as I always know I’m in the best of hands and things run so smoothly. I’m about to book more tours & looking forward to them!!

Tour of Biarritz, Bayonne, and St Jean de Luz - Maider was such an incredible guide! She struck the perfect balance between being informative and keeping things fun and engaging; it felt like being shown around by a friend! She also knew the best spots for pictures and gave great recommendations on things to try in each town. Would definitely recommend!

Fabulous day out - well worth it - 3 towns close to each other, all with their own stories and character. The group was great, Javier, our Guide, was very entertaining and took great care of us when we had bus troubles. We didn’t mind spending a couple of additional hours sipping champagne in the sun in beautiful and charming St Jean de Luz - my favourite of the 3 towns. A highlight is the Church where Louis IV married Maria Teresa of Spain - unchanged since then. Also a great 3 course lunch in Bayonne was also v enjoyable. Highly recommend

Recommended! - Both Biarritz and Bayonne are beautiful. It's really worth meeting. There was simply little free time in each place.

Very disappointing don’t book go and visit these places on your own - If you want to actually visit Biarritz and spend time there you are better off booking your own bus such as Flexibus and going there on your own
This trip was extremely rushed. We actually had 2hrs in Biarritz which would of been enough except the tour guide Javier took up a full 1hr45mins of it explaining irrelevant stuff such as this is how much you can get mussels and wine for and this is a good place to eat yet we never actually had time to eat or enjoy Biarritz as we just got walked around stopping every 2mins. Biarritz is easy to walk around on your own we don’t need a guide this tour would of been far better off if the guide explained everything whilst we were on the bus travelling to France and then let us know where we can meet him back again.
The 2nd stop in St Juan we had 1hr again Javier explained we would walk for at least 30mins for him to guide us around at which point I opted out and asked for the meeting and said I’ll meet him in an hour especially after it took him 15mins to park the van and made the group wait outside an estate agent for 15mins so a complete waste of time
The destinations themselves are definitely worth visiting just go on your own to fully enjoy them after all we are all on holiday and want to enjoy the places we travel to with time to soak in the sun and try the local food and wine
