From San Sebastian: French-Basque Countryside Private Tour

1. From San Sebastian: French-Basque Countryside Private Tour

The first stop on the tour is Saint Jean Pied De Port which is considered the start point on the famous St. James Way, the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. The Basque language is still spoken on both sides of the border of this stunning medieval town. Next, it's the town of Bidarray, an off the track town in the countryside. Drive along the famous Pass Du Roland to get to Espelette town. Labourd style houses make this town unique, as it's known for its dried red peppers hanging from their facades. Taste some of the typical products of the region. Ainhoa is known for its church, a cemetery full of the traditional disc-topped monuments and white and red houses - a very typical Basque village. Finally, it's Sare, one of the most beautiful villages. Placed at the base of the first mountain in the Pyrenees mountain range, La Rhune, Sare is a major prehistoric site and has carefully preserved.

Hike From San Sebastian To San Pedro Across St James Way

3. Hike From San Sebastian To San Pedro Across St James Way

Our city is known for its amazing beaches, but the green environment that surrounds it is one of its best kept secrets. The St. James's Way (Camino de Santiago) stretch that crosses San Sebastian, suitable for all the family, is the best example. Hike it with us until San Pedro (Pasaia in Basque language), a little and lovely fishing village that will delight your eyes. Cross mt. Ulia on your way, with astonishing viewpoints of San Sebastian and the bay of Pasaia, including mt. Ulia's lighthouse. A good local pintxo is included to restock on energy! And, of course, we take care of the return trip: a car will be waiting for us after our hike is done to take us back to San Sebastian.

It was a great day with the guidance of a wonderful guide.

Guided by a guide familiar with the culture, values, traditions and geography of the Basque country, I was able to gain a deep understanding of the Basque country in a wonderful scenery.

Punctual collection, competent tour guide

We were a group of only 4 people and were completely satisfied with the way the day went. This day tour is well worth the money.
