Step by Step

Leaving Bilbao on the motorway, you will first arrive in elegant Biarritz, a seaside resort town with a refined, stately atmosphere. There, you will take a panoramic tour that includes its lighthouse, the Old Port, the famous Casino and the Côte des Basques beach, followed by a walking tour to discover its architecture, the aquarium and the Virgin of the Rock.

Next, you will visit the picturesque Saint-Jean-de-Luz, an old fishing village with half-timbered Basque houses. During the walking tour, you will discover its lively port, the baroque church where Louis XIV was married and the narrow streets full of history. You will have some free time to stroll around or have a coffee by the sea.

The third and longest stop is San Sebastian. You will start with a walking tour of the Old Town, passing by the Church of the Virgen del Coro, the Town Hall and the Aquarium. After free time for lunch (not included), the bus will take you on a panoramic tour along the Paseo de la Concha, bridges and main avenues. The highlight is the climb to Monte Igueldo, from where you will enjoy the most spectacular views of the city and its famous bay.

After a day full of culture, history and scenery, you will return in comfort to Bilbao, arriving at the original meeting point. This tour gives you a complete overview of three must-see destinations on the Basque and French coast, all in one day.

    Each place had its own charm, personally, I think I liked San Sebastian the most. Even though it was the last destination it was the best.

    Beautiful views and a very relaxing and beautiful tour. The guide was a great companion. Almost everyone in the group even tipped him a little extra from how happy we were with the service.
