A taste of local French Basque life! - Our tour guide Jon, was very knowledgeable and fun! We really enjoyed having lunch at a local place with local hard working farmers and villagers. This tour takes you to Basque French villages you’d never find on your own. Such a lovely day!

Lovely trip to the basque region of france - Jon was a terrific guide. Punctual, knowledgeable and great for conversation. His love for the Basque Country is palpable! We visited some of the most charming French towns in the countryside and tried some of the most unique, delicious French delicacies. I would highly recommend to anyone who would like to explore the wonderful French /basque countryside. The coast is beautiful as well but the countryside has an inexplicable beauty, serenity and well worth the visit.

Custom Basque Countryside Tour - First stop was cookie shop-bakery in Pyrenees, we sampled and bought the lemon cookies. Played some handball with my host Jon, we are instantly friends. Second stop in Espelette for pepper flavored products including a truly unique chocolate. Lunch was at basque farmhouse inn Ferme Erreka where the salad and lamb stew was the best I ever ate. Lamb flavor really comes through at this informal inn. Erreka is a special place I would never find without my new best friend Jon. We finished with a visit to a beautiful church and graveyard in the Pyrenees. Jon is a very accommodating host and finished the tour for us at a different destination at our request. He can make your tour into anything you’d like it to be.

Piglets! - Seeing the pig farm was a wonderful introduction to an authentic and bio-friendly clean food source. The host of the family there was a lovely person and a spectacular cook. Worth every Euro and the travel time to get there!

Basque Countryside and pig farm tour. - Traveling in the Basque region with Jon is an amazing experience. He is enthusiastic, charming and informative. Our day in the countryside visiting a sustainable pig farm we so incredibly special. The farm is humanely run and in a natural area where the pigs eat walnuts, acorns, and chestnuts. We had a delicious farm to table lunch in a beautiful farm house and it was an experience not to be forgotten. I highly recommend this tour.

Farm to Table pork lunch. - This was an amazing farm to table experience. Totally authentic and in a beautiful setting high in the mountains outside San Sebastián. The house we ate in I believe was from 1580. 13 generations of farmers. Jon also provided excellent back ground information. The food was delicious!!
