Local insight of the Basque coastline - Zachary picked us up at our hotel in St Jean de Luz, took us on tours of the Hondarribia fishing village and the Petritegi Cider House, then dropped us at our new hotel in Bilbao. We hired his company in 2024 to transport us from San Sebastian, Spain to Bilbao with a coastal tour and lunch.

Go to San Sebastian! - This tour was wonderful! Olaia was a perfect guide, especially for my wife, who is 50% Basque, and wanted help shopping for souvenir gifts for family back home and for our own house. The two of them really hit it off. Plus, San Sebastian, Getaria, and Zumaia were beautiful places to visit and learn about. We enjoyed our pintxos in two of the bars, and our strolling for the history and scenery Olaia provided. It was a bit of a drive to get there from Bilbao, but the time passed quickly because of such interesting conversation with Olaia. The Best of Basque is a fantastic company - all four of our tours were excellent.

Fantastic Tour - Olaia was terrific. Her enthusiasm and style made the entire trip special. She is truly Basque and in love with Basque culture. Her knowledge of the history of San Sebastián and the Basque coast was very informative. We had lunch at a restaurant in Getara and the food was exceptional! Olaia helped us with the menu and the choices were superb. I would highly recommend this tour

An awesome adventure through the Basque Coast - Working with Zach at The Best of Basque was a pleasure from our initial booking to our final goodbye. Zach laid out a number of different options for places to go and things to see and do in the Basque region. In this way, travelers touring with him can customize their itinerary. My husband and I selected a range of sights to see that encompassed four days of touring with Zach in the Basque region. We could have easily booked another 2 to 3 days and still not have seen everything the Basque region has to offer. Zach was exceptionally knowledgeable about the region, its history, its culture and its people. This, in addition to sharing insights about each individual city that we visited. Zach was also helpful in making recommendations for places to eat in the evening when we weren't with him. I highly recommend The Best of Basque tour for anyone traveling to that region.

Needed More Days in Basque Country! - We really enjoyed the Pintxo tour on our first night in Bilboa, but our next 2 days were amazing! Irene shared the beautiful Basque culture with us with visits to San Sebastian, Getaria, Gernika, and my favorite, Arratzu. Not only did she take me to my grandfather's birthplace, she also found the cemetery for me and spoke with the locals where we had an amazing family style lunch! I found my "family " with Best of Basque!
