A wonderful way to spend the day, viewing the coast. - I wanted to see San Juan de Gazyelugatxe, but knew I wouldn't be able to walk all the stairs. Jose knew a good path, with a great view. We went into a few other charming coastal towns and ended the tour in Guernica. A lot of people think because Guernica was bombed there is nothing to see, but there are several historical buildings and so much history. Jose was a great guide.

A special day in the Basque country - This tour with José was simply the best! All the other reviews more than reflected our experience. José was delightful, enthusiastic, thoughtful and his knowledge of this region was exemplary. We came away having not only visited the most beautiful places, Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo, Mundaka, but also Guernica, which only left us wanting to learn more about the Basque Country and culture in future. This was a very special day which we will remember and treasure. Thank you José, you have found your vocation, making people happy! Sorry we can’t give you more than five stars!

If you’ve only time for one guided trip… book this one! - We had a great time with Jose our guide for the day. Be aware that it’s a long day with some serious walking involved but if you’re reasonably fit it’s well worth it & good value. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant day out in the bay of Biscay - This was such an amazing trip due to the fantastic guide and some breathtaking scenery. The itinerary was very thoughtfully planned and well paced. It felt like a day out with an old friend rather than an organised tour

Cost of Biscay - Our tour through the Coast of Biscay was fantastic. The walk through Gaztelugatxeco was a life time experience, the beauty of the views were truly remarkable. The small towns of Bermeo and Guernica were very picturesque. Lunch at Cafe Antzokia in Bermeo was amazing and the cost of the food was unbelievable cheap. But our experience was greatly enjoyable thanks to our tour guide and new friend José Luis from Bizkaia Maite. We spent all day talking and exchanging culture and historical similarities, as well as, opinions and recommendations, just like life long friends would. If you tour with José Luis, you will learn about the Basque Country and you will earn a new friend. Eskerrik asko, izan ongi, gure lagun berria!

Excellent personal tour from a local expert - I recommend this tour wholeheartedly and without any hesitation. Jose owns this business and conducts all tours himself. He has clearly put a lot of thought and planning into the details of this tour. This meant that we avoided crowds in the main. He collected us promptly and we instantly felt at ease with him. He was a very good driver and we felt safe in his car. He was keen to answer our questions about life in the Basque Country, including political and historical subjects. He was also happy to talk about football which pleased our husbands! This was particularly pertinent as Athletico Bilbao were playing in the final of the Copa del Rey the same evening. We were collected from our hotel just before 9am and dropped off just after 6pm. All in all, excellent value for money to get a local’s perspective on the region. We particularly enjoyed Jose’s lunch venue recommendation and the fact that he took lots of lovely photos of us throughout the day, which he then sent to me the same evening. Thank you Jose!

Fantastic day at the Coast of Biscay! - Fantastic trip, and absolutely fantastic guide! Jose just made our day! We booked for a short trip at the Coast of Biscay to see some more places close to Bilbao, as well as to learn more about the Basque Country and its culture and traditions. And Jose just did his best to tell us about the region, the places that we visited and local traditions! He is a real fan of the region, he knows it very well and is very generous to share his knowledge about the Basque Country! Very interesting, very informative and extremely helpful! Plus he showed us really good coffee shops in Berneo and Mundaka, - what my boyfriend couldn’t appreciate more as he’s a real coffee guru. Thanks to Jose this trip was just fabulous!! Many thanks again! And we definitely will come for more!
