It was a really nice trip that got you back into town with plenty of time to relax before the evening. Asier was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and easy to chat with. He also gave us all recommendations for Bilbao! This tour does require a lot of walking - but worth the views! The bus was also very comfortable and everything ran smoothly.

Worth a detour. The rock formations are amazing. We don’t watch Game of Thrones but the drama of the rocks against the ocean is amazing. We spent lots of time here gazing at the scenery

It was a very interesting and informative tour, but not overwhelming. All the locations were spectacular. And we really liked our guide (Asier).

I highly recommend this English language small group tour. Adur, our guide and driver, was friendly and very knowledgeable, and provided good background on the sites and Basque culture more generally. This tour does require a lot of walking and steps, but Gaztelugatxe does not disappoint and Guernika was poignant. Mundaka was a casual lunch stop. I attended the tour solo and appreciated the pick-up and drop-off directly from my hotel (tour time approx. 9:00-3:00). The minivan was comfortable with 4 tourists in total.
