Highlights
- Bayonne - In no time, you’ll have made it to the center of Bayonne famed for its romantic medieval charm, half-timbered buildings and delicious chocolate. That is correct! Bayonne is called the French capital of chocolate and it played a pivotal role in the spread of the cocoa confection through Europe. In other words - you have to try it! You’ll stroll down the cobbled streets of the Historic Part discovering picturesque corners of the city, chocolate stores and one of the most beautiful cathedrals in France. Saint Mary of Bayonne Cathedral was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998 and a Historic Monument since 1862.

Wonderful Private Tour of French Basque Country - AMAZING day! We had such a wonderful time learning about French Basque culture and history. Jan was a great tour guide and catered the tour to our family, hitting on not only the typical tourist must-see landmarks, but local favorites as well.

Perfect Day with Ania - We had a wonderful time with Ania - she's the best! She provided very interesting information & history about this region, and took us to the best shops and restaurants. After the tour, she sent me a list of the best pintxo bars in San Sebastian and what to order. Thank you Ania!

Would highly recommend this tour and Mikel as a guide. - We had a memorable day trip with our guide Mikel. Miles was knowledgeable and friendly. We swooned over hot chocolate in Bayonne and will not forget the delicious lunch we had in an amazing market In Biarritz. Mikel knew just where to guide us.

French Basque Region - We just returned to the US after having an amazing week in the Basque country. one of the highlights of our trip was our trip to the French region of the Basque country. I gained so much, and was immersed into so much culture and knowledge that I would not have got on my own, if I had just traveled over the border Ania was so informative, kind and friendly. She has an amazing vibe and made the day a pleasant one. she felt like an old friend, boy did she know the history of the Basque Region! I could not recommend this tour more for your trip to the Basque region. You will not be disappointed.

Fun in the sun at Saint John De Luz - Bayonne is a no. Not much to see. It is a nice city but worth the excursion. Saint John De luz and Biarritz are worth the trip. Beautiful coastal towns. Great restaurants and beaches, fun quaint shopping. Biarritz has good golf as well.
