Travel with us to experience the heart and soul of Basque culture; folklore, green hills, fresh ocean breeze and exquisite seafood. We take a quick stop in a Navarre Basque village, enjoy a light lunch in one of the BEST restaurants on the coast and in the region - a seafood haven. We visit a fabulous Basque whaling museum and a quaint Victor Hugo museum, and then we jump on a magnificent 1924 authentic schooner. We sail the Atlantic sipping a glass of fabulous cava. We go at our own pace, so there is time to jump into the ocean for a swim and tan on the deck of the sailboat. Our afternoon is complete only after we have visited 4 top gastro bars in San Sebastian to enjoy what they do best; creative bite-size wonders called Pintxos.

Since we arrived in Spain nearly 2 weeks ago, we have participated in several tours as we traveled across Spain. All very enriching, insightful, and worth while. As the cliché goes “save the best for last!” Jamie, tour operator/owner, picked us up bright and early from our hotel and off we went to Bilbao. Jamie brought along his cousin/operator in training, which we were totally cool with and actually it added another level to the tour. Compared to our other tours, they ultimately felt, for the like of a better word, like tours. You were paying someone to show you around. There was some invisible boundary that separated operator from client, totally fine but it feels fake sometimes. This tour felt different, it felt like a couple friends taking a road trip from San Sebastián to Bilbao. One of the friends being really knowledgeable, Jamie. One of the friend working off that energy, Jaime cousin. The other friends going along for the ride, us. It was refreshing and fantastic. Having conversations as we drove between the two cities made the time whiz by so quickly. That’s a plus! Normally, one of us, fiancé or I, are falling asleep as we get to a destination. Not this time around, Jaime and his cousin were really engaging. Admittedly, I had some doubts that we wouldn’t get a breathe of Bilbao in a day but, I have to be honest, we really felt like we got immersed in the city. He guided us through the streets and history. Showed us local spots and let us on our own at the Guggenheim to take in the art. Afterwards we chatted our way back to our hotel. We could have hung out with both Jaime and his cousin all day. Next time, we are back in town, we will take him up on one of his other tours. Highly recommend having him show you around. Super knowledge and engaging. I can not recommend this tour any higher.

8. Visit Olite Royal Palace and Ujue medieval village in small group tour

Local Experts Tours Pamplona

"Meet the Royal Palace of Olite, palace of the King of Navarre and surround yourself with the history of this region. Being a Royal Headquarters during the Middle Ages, the thick walls and crenellated towers of the palace housed kings and princesses. Declared a national monument in 1925, it is the most important example of the civil gothic of Navarre and one of the most notable in Europe. A tour of the narrow rustic village of Olite will allow you to walk in the shelter of noble stone mansions with ancient coats of arms, medieval galleries and splendid churches, in addition to discovering the Roman walled area. Lost on top of a plateau, without rivers that cool it or trees that shelter it, in apparent loneliness stands Ujué, a beautiful medieval town of narrow streets that run steep slopes to conclude. On your way, let yourself be carried along the labyrinthine route of this small town of only 300 inhabitants and slowly walk its cobbled streets.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Small group tour, Olite Royal Palace tickets included

Exclusions: Lunch
