Active day with beautiful views and with lots of information about the Basque people - The walk to San Juan De Gatzelugatze was beautiful. It was hot around 28 degrees so it was sweating a lot. You have to be reasonably fit to make the trip with this temperature. But we thought it was definitely worth it. What a view. The village of Bermeo was also very cozy with a beautiful harbor, cheerfully colored houses and plenty of choice of restaurants. Gernika was also interesting although our children between the ages of 16 and 21 thought otherwise. Our tour guide could tell very interesting about the places we visited and about the Basque people.

Great tour…. Please increase the time in Guernica - A great tour. Josu was an excellent guide and full of local stories. The three stops were well worth it. If anything my strong suggestion would be to reduce the time in Bermeo and give more time in Guernica. As a group we agreed to do it and Josu was accommodating, but I think Guernica and its rich history deserves a better visit. 2 two stops in the town provided by the tour do not give it justice.

Amazing guide, interesting sites - We were hoping to learn a lot about Basque history and Borja did not disappoint. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. The coastline at Gaztelugatxe is beautiful and the historical town of Gernika very impactful. We could not have hoped for better on this tour.

Great! - Great trip. Jesu was our guide and he had an extensive knowledge of the basque region and he is very proud of his heritage. His English was a little difficult to understand at times but he would clarify when we asked if he could repeat it. The first stop was San Juan de Gaztelugatxe which was AMAZING! However we were not prepared for the walk down to the staircase.. it was very steep, long, and tiring. Not recommended for people with mobility problems! Bermeo was also lovely and we had a classic 3 course basque lunch for just 14 euro. Gernika was very informative as well. Overall, great tour

On Camino - Although it's an up and down route, the walking surface is very good. The difficulty is the relatively steep assent and desent. Remember to pace yourself, don't get out of breath. The views are surpurb, take time to take photos. Enjoy the walk knowing you are strengthening your muscles, becoming fitter, and, may be improving your weight.
