About this tour
Travel from Bilbao to San Sebastian in a private vehicle with a local guide steering you through the Basque Coast's most striking landmarks. Over eight hours, you'll pause at the dramatic islet of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, the historic town of Gernika, the fishing village of Getaria, and the geological formations of Zumaia's Flysch cliffs. Your guide handles all the driving and commentary, leaving you free to absorb the landscape and ask questions as you move between stops.

What to expect
Your guide collects you from your Bilbao accommodation and drives you westward along the coast, breaking at each location for exploration on foot. San Juan de Gaztelugatxe involves climbing a steep stone pathway to a small chapel; Gernika is a walkable town centre with museums and monuments. Getaria offers cafés and harbourside views, while Zumaia's Flysch requires an easy coastal walk to appreciate the striped cliffs properly. You'll spend roughly one to two hours at each stop, though your guide adjusts timings based on group pace and interest.

Wear sturdy walking shoes; San Juan de Gaztelugatxe's stairs are steep and uneven. Bring water and sun protection. Meals are your own expense—villages have decent cafés and restaurants. Minimum two people per booking. Confirm exact pick-up and drop-off addresses when you reserve.
