Wonderful day exploring the French countryside - Micheal (I hope I’m spelling it correctly) was the perfect guide. His knowledge of Spanish and French history was very good, and he was able to explain so much to us about the Basque culture and help us understand this part of the world. The towns he took us to were all beautiful and had meaning. We especially enjoyed his lunch recommendations and insights into the local people. This was a highlight of our trip

Great Tour! Highly Recommend. - My husband and I took a tour of the French Basque countryside with Ander, and we had a wonderful time. We visited the villages of Sara, Espelette, and St. Jean Pied de Port. Ander gave us great insight into the culture and history of the Basque region, and explained some of the similarities and differences between the Spanish and French Basque regions. He also offered to take pictures of us throughout the day to make sure that we could have some beautiful couples-photos. Tip: Remember to bring your passports! You are crossing into a different country, and sometimes the French government sets up checkpoints.

A Splendid Day - We had a wonderful time in the French Basque Countryside. It was picturesque and peaceful. Ander was an excellent guide who was full of knowledge, thoughtful, and accommodating. We would go on a tour with Ander again anytime.

Great day in tgr Basque lands - We had an amazing day with Ander in tge Basque lands. His knowledge of history and the area was great. We enjoyed sampling local cheeses and pickles from the farmers and Ander bought us a great cherry pie baked by a local lady in one of the villages. It was simply a fab day and would recommend to anyone!

Tasting Basque Country food - Great way to spend the day even though it was wet. Gave us an opportunity to taste some French basque delicacies and enjoy the market day. We would never have found these places on our own.

1000% recommend!!! - My husband and I took a tour with Ander to the French Basque countryside and I don’t have the words to express what a wonderful experience it was! We ventured into parts of the countryside we never would have found on our own. Really enjoyed hearing a local’s perspective on Basque culture. And the company owners went out of their way to ensure the remainder of our stay in Spanish Basque was a world class experience. THANK YOU Go Basque!!

Highly recommend - We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Ruben. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Best Day Trip to French Basque Region - We had a great tour with Ruben. He took us to many beautiful French Basque towns and was very knowledgeable about the local history and culture. He also had some great food recommendations for when we returned to San Sebastián. Highly recommend this tour.

A Forever Memory - What a wonderful day we spent with Ander visiting a few of the many nearby medieval Basque villages. Our private tour with Ander has honestly been the most memorable part of our visit to San Sebastian. We especially appreciated the door-to-door service and the easy conversation with Ander, who was raised in San Sebastian. We learned not only about the areas we visited but about what life is like growing up, living and working here. We never felt rushed and Ander was open to stopping anywhere we liked. Our first stop was Sare, known for its delicious Gateau Basque (cake) and where fronton (jai alai) is the favorite pastime. Traveling the lush countryside to our next stop in Espelette, Ander pointed out the raised wooden huts built on towers used to trap migrating wood pigeons. Espelette is known for its production of espelette red peppers. The entire village has white houses with red or green shutters. It looked like a fairy tale town built as a temple to the little red peppers. The 17th century Basque church had a single aisle with wooden galleries and the scent of old wood. Ander knows all the places where you can taste the local cheese, chocolate or pate. Finally on to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port which is the starting point and the most challenging part of the Camino de Santiago. The streets are steep and cobbled, dotted with pilgrim lodgings and many shops. The “way” is well-marked with directional arrows embedded into the cobblestone streets and signs taped to poles. Thank you Ander for so generously sharing your beautiful Basque countryside with us - a forever memory……..Sonya & Jake.
