A FANTASTIC GUIDE TO AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY - A spectacular tour of the French Coast with Ernest Guide!
I want to sincerely thank you for the excellent experience we experienced on the French Coast tour, especially in Biarritz. Everything was perfectly organized, and the tour was simply unforgettable.
Our guide, Ernest, was exceptional: friendly, professional and with a deep knowledge of the area. He was able to convey his passion for the region, telling us interesting stories and details that made each stop come to life. Thanks to it, the tour was not only informative, but also very entertaining and unforgettable.
The landscapes of the French Coast are breathtaking, and being able to discover them with someone as dedicated as Ernest was a real privilege. I definitely recommend this tour 100% and give it the highest score.
Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Recommended at 200% - I can say it was the best tour I've ever been on. Even knowing that whole area by heart has managed to surprise me. He has told us a lot of story while giving us a taste of a mix of top quality local products. I finished the tour wanting to repeat. Thank you so much!

Culture, gastronomy and proximity - Magnificent tour of the Basque-French coast, being able to get to know the culture and gastronomy on both sides of the border with a local guide of 10.

One of the best tours I've ever done - Without a doubt, one of the best tours I have done in my life. Despite being from the area I was surprised and made me discover places I did not know. Ernes ensures that an all-day tour doesn’t get heavy or boring, quite the opposite. Each stop of the tour is thought out to detail and with very different contributions. Also, it was the first time I tasted oysters and I loved them:)
The best part of the tour: a very balanced mix of culture and gastronomy (plus Ikusnahi’s professionalism).

Excellent private tour - What an amazing tour! We felt so special, like spending the day with a friend. Ernes was very knowledgeable about the basque culture and history. We sampled local regional cuisine, toured the gorgeous countryside. And learned about the history and culture of the region. Honestly it was incredible. Can’t wait to come back.

Highly recommend this tour! - We had a great time! We loved the selections of cheese, seafood, pintxos, wine, and sweets. Our guide Martin, was passionate about Basque culture and generous with sharing insights about the region's history, origins, and food trends. We got special access into a parador to see its tapestry exhibits as well as a panoramic birds eye view of the Basque coastline. Highly recommend this tour! Looking forward to more experiences from Ikusnahi tours.
