Description

A full-day adventure exploring stunning coastal towns, local flavors, and historic gems with a fun, knowledgeable guide. We kick off in Biarritz, the birthplace of European beach tourism and the place where Americans first brought surfing to Europe in the 1950s (they really do get everywhere, don’t they?). Stroll along the scenic promenade, admire its swanky hotels, and snap some pics at the lighthouse. Next, we pop into the lively Les Halles market, where your guide will introduce you to some of the region’s tastiest specialties—think amazing cheeses, charcuterie, fresh-baked goodies, and mouthwatering pastries. No pressure, but if you get tempted to try something, it’s totally up to you! Onward to Saint Jean de Luz, a charming seaside town with colorful streets and a royal pastry legacy. Ever heard of the famous ‘macarons’? They were first created here in 1660, and at Maison Adam, you get to taste history in one bite—this one’s on us! Our last stop is Hondarribia, a picture-perfect town with a fishing district full of charm and a medieval upper town offering stunning views over Txingudi Bay. Your guide will share fascinating stories as you wander through its historic streets. We wrap up the day with a scenic drive along Mount Jaizkibel, where you’ll soak in panoramic views of the Basque coastline all the way to Bizkaia. Epic landscapes, a bit of history, and a whole lot of character—what more could you ask for? Join us for a day of exploration, great stories, and (if you fancy) some seriously good snacks!
