Private Basque Tours are the best fun!!

A private 7 -day tour with some friends from Los Angeles…. Its simply the best way to see our marvellous Basque Country!

This made-to-measure 7-day tour took in the French Basque Country; the countryside villages of Espelette, and Saint Jean Pied de Port, the glamorous town of Biarritz and historical Bayonne and Saint Jean de Luz. The excellent boutique hotels in Biarritz make for a perfect base to discover this rarely-explored corner of the Basque Country… It was made all the more special for us as our guests were with us in 2015 too!! They loved it so much they just had to come back and see what they missed last year and this time with their friends!!

Having a private tour, designed by us here at Basque Experiences, with your vital input of course,  means that you can concentrate on the things that you really fancy seeing.  This private tour saw our friends stay in the hills in a small guesthouse in Garai, as well as the best hotel in Bilbao. We adapt it to suit you.

Hopping back over the border and we were hiking in the Urkiola Natural Park, strolling around picturesque and laid-back fishing villages, biking in Bilbao (cigars included!), discovering cheese-makers and sampling home-cooked food rustled up by the owner of a Txakoli winery, learning about the flavours of our indigenous plants on a unique farm and finally eating in a members-only dining club. These can all form part of what we can do for you. Your Private Basque Tour with Basque Experiences, is exactly that!! We are waiting for you….
