An unforgettable excursion - San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is a place of great beauty and climbing the hermitage is spectacular. Visits to Bermeo and, above all, Gernika have been very interesting. Aitor, the driver, has expertise and professionalism. And Pascu, the Guide, has been very kind and his explanations have been clear, interesting and enjoyable. Undoubtedly, a highly recommended excursion.

Spectacular - This place up to about 45 minutes by bus from Bilbao and leaves you at the entrance of the park, to enter you must first book the entrance I advise to make the reservation a few days before because although it is free if you arrive without reservation you cannot enter because the entrance is restricted because it is a protected natural area. The place has many stairs and climbs and descents but it is impressive, it is a gorge that enters the sea where at the end there is a hermitage but most striking that road and the arcades that appear in the series Game of Thrones and its continuity The House of the Dragon. Outside there is a confectionery with beautiful views in case you want to eat or drink something. It is not worth paying for an excursion being able to go on your own and of course you cannot miss it.

Fantastic Tour! - We had a great time at each of the three destinations and learned so much in a such a short timeframe! The hike at Gaztelugatxe was our favorite and is definitely doable, but still intense! Be sure to bring good shoes, water, and go to the bathroom before the hike down!

Great experience! - It was an amazing experience. I enjoyed the whole tour. Our tour guide Pacu was a pleasure, he didn't miss a bit in explaining the significance of each place we visit and telling us its history. Would recommend this tour.

Magical beautiful place Gastelugatxe. - It was amazingly beautiful to visit Gastelugatxe. So beautiful nature and views of the sea and coast. They were worth every step up to the church. The fishing village charming and Guernica interesting historical place to visit.

We arrive and at the... - We arrive and at the place and the tour guide instructed us to go ahead while he was explaining something to other people, however the person at the gate didn’t allow us without the tour guide. We waited 13 minutes. Once at the top we were not allowed inside the church to see inside even though we had the tickets because the tour guide was not with us and that was the reason we climbed the darn 243 steps. The guide should had known that and accompanied us to get our money worth. He was rushing us through the entire trip. No I will rather drive to the place next time
