Stephane ist ein super cooler und lustiger Reiseleiter! Er hat viele interessante Dinge über Kultur, die Sehenswürdigkeiten und die Landschaft erzählt und ist stets auf unsere Fragen eingegangen. Eine schöner Tagestrip, der viel Abwechslung bietet. Von Religion, über Geografie bis hin zur schönen Aussichten ist alles dabei. Ich kann es nur empfehlen!

Très chouette tour avec visites intéressantes, très bon guide. Loyola intéressant sur le plan historique, Leikeitio charmant village au bord de l'océan, San Sébastian très bien aussi et le final en haut de la colline avec vue sur la baie était magnifique. Le timing était bien aussi.

Tour recomendable, el guía Estephane hizo la excursion muy amena con sus explicaciones y forma de contar la historia y curiosidades de los lugares visitados. Lo único que añadiría un poquito más de tiempo libre en los sitios pero en si pudimos ver todo de forma organizada.
