About this experience

This tour is limited to a very small group of maximum 7 people, creating a relaxed and personal atmosphere that’s impossible on standard day trips. Led by a warm, knowledgeable local guide, the day feels more like traveling with a friend than following a script.

The small group size allows for flexibility, easy conversation, and time to enjoy each place properly, from everyday life in Bayonne to the coastal charm of Biarritz and Saint-Jean-de-Luz. It’s a social and well-paced way to experience the French Basque Country from San Sebastián.

Detailed itinerary

Bayonne – Rivers, Colors & First Stories

We start the day in Bayonne, where rivers meet colorful streets and Basque life feels very much alive. As we wander through the old town, we’ll explore the cathedral, cross bridges, and talk about how Basque culture took shape on the French side of the border. It’s an easy, friendly introduction to the region—and a great place to get your bearings (and your camera out).

Biarritz – Ocean Views & Do-Your-Own Lunch

Next up is Biarritz, where the Atlantic steals the show. We’ll stroll along the seafront, enjoy big ocean views, and pass through the lively Les Halles market. This is your time: grab lunch if something smells too good to ignore, sit down for a long seaside coffee, or simply wander and watch surfers do their thing. No schedule stress here—Biarritz is meant to be enjoyed at your own pace.

Saint-Jean-de-Luz – Pirates, Kings & a Sweet Ending

We finish in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, a town with more stories than you’d expect for its size. As we walk its streets, you’ll hear tales of fishermen, corsairs, and even a royal wedding that changed the town forever. And because every good day deserves a sweet ending, we stop at Maison Adam to taste the famous Basque macaron—small, simple, and dangerously good.
