A great full day trip from Bilbao. Thanks to it, we were able to visit previously planned places in one day, traveling by a comfortable coach. The amiable and knowledgeable guide was doing well with the 50 bilingual group. The program was not overloaded and there was enough free time. Good price-quality ratio. I highly recommend this trip, especially to tourists who don't have a car in Bilbao.

This was a really enjoyable day trip and a good way to spend a day if staying in Bilbao. There was lots of opportunities to ask the guide questions but also time to spend exploring on your own.

Highly recommend this tour. San Sebastián is beautiful and if you’re planning a visit to northern Spain, should definitely include it with your visit.

Kevin the guide is very good and there is enough time for us to hike, wander around and have lunch . Recommended trip !!!

Wonderful coach comfortable seats and leg room. A trip well worth the money.
