Spectacular - Our trip to the Sanctuary of Lourdes was simply wonderful, and much of it we owe to our guide, Diego. We do not have enough words to describe or thank you for your warm, professional, detailed and welcoming way of accompanying us throughout the tour. It was a totally private and intimate trip, in which, from the way, Diego explained with a lot of knowledge and sensitivity the stories of each place we were passing through. Thanks to him, we not only visited the Shrine, but also deeply understood its significance. We even had the opportunity to see where Santa Bernardette was born, which was very special and emotional. Diego is one of those people who make you feel confident, like you've known him all your life, almost like someone in the family. We recommend this tour with your eyes closed. It is not just a visit, it is a spiritual, cultural and human experience that stays in the heart. Thank you, Diego, for making this trip so memorable.

Family trip - The best part of the tour was the guide, she was friendly and professional all the time. Maybe it was my mistake but I was expecting more at the Lourdes place.

Sublime - It was a significant and beautiful day at Lourdes… A bit over a two hour drive from San Sebastian but all worth it. Our guide Gorka did an excellent job briefing us on all the details and made the day a memorable one. He not only shared many Interesting facts about Lourdes' history but also gave us the space needed for our own praying and meditation. What a wonderful experience it all was!

Great trip to Lourdes - Olatz was a wonderful driver and guide. She was so informative about the area and the people who live here. She has great tips for how to visit the sanctuary at Lourdes and she is very respectful and understanding of the religious feelings of pilgrims.

Unforgettable experience! - I booked a private tour to Lourdes for my 90-year-old uncle and his wife. They fulfilled their dream of visiting the sanctuary and attending the torchlit procession. Ernesto, the guide, accompanied and cared for them with great dedication. Extremely professional, punctual, trained and friendly, but above all I would like to highlight the affection and enthusiasm of the entire team.

Lourdes Sanctuary and San Sebastián - The trip to Lourdes Sanctuary was a moving experience. Our guide and driver Marcelo was excellent, articulate and a pleasure to meet. He drove very well and was most informative about the history of Pais Vasco. He knowledge about Lourdes was equally impressive. Should we avail of your tours in the near future, we would insist on Marcelo.

Time and money we'll spent. A fantastic tour to take. - Martin was our guide for a truly memorable experience. He was on time. The van we went in was very comfortable and spacious. Martin was an excellent driver. Martin told us so much about the Basques, the region, customs, history, etc. It made our travel time go faster. He was knowledgeable about the history of Lourdes and was respectful of the time we wanted to spend praying in the different cathedrals. The restaurant he chose for lunch was good and it was nice to have an opportunity to visit with him while eating.

Amazing Experience! - This trip was exclusively to visit Our Lady of Lourdes on our 38th wedding anniversary. Dani (Daniel) was our tour guide and he was exceptional! He arrived to our hotel on time, was courteous, friendly, very knowledgeable. Our Lady Of Lourdes was amazing and the Grotto was beautiful. This experience is life changing and having a great tour guide made it the best it could be. Thank you and highly recommend this tour with Dani.

Pilgrimage - Place for those who believe, it is not a tourist tour. We were, by chance, in the same period as the International Military Pilgrimage for which it was full of musical bands and boys in uniform.
