VIP Tour of the French Basque Country

Enjoy an unforgettable tour of the French Basque Country from San Sebastián in Spain.

 

This once-in-a-lifetime tour takes you on an exploration of the French Basque Country by private car. As a part of your experience, you will be able to really get to know the region, its customs, its gastronomy, its legends and its people. Touring by private car allows you to see the small and picturesque villages that other travellers on group tours rarely get to see.

Your journey from San Sebastián begins with a gentle drive through the green mountains and forest of the Basque Country. You will make stops in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Saint-Etienne-de-Baigorry, Espelette and Ainhoa, giving you the chance to see some of the most charming villages of the French Basque Country. In one of the villages, there will be free time for lunch and, at the end of your day, your driver-guide will take you back to San Sebastián.
