What travelers said about this day.

Seven real reviews of this tour, transcribed word for word from TripAdvisor.

An incredible visit to the Basque region

We had a wonderful time on our private tour of the Basque Coast with The Local Way. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip to San Sebastián.

Alex was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and just really easy to spend the day with. What made the experience even more genuine is that Alex is from the Basque region, so we were not just learning about the area, we were experiencing it through someone who actually grew up there and has a real connection to the culture, the history and the people. It felt more like exploring the Basque Coast with a local friend than being on a formal guided tour.

We saw beautiful places, learned a lot, and never felt rushed. If you are in San Sebastián and want to experience the Basque Coast in a more personal, authentic way, I highly recommend The Local Way and definitely ask for Alex. Great experience and a truly memorable day.

A great Basque Country experience with Alex

Our tour with Alex was the best. From the first moment he was attentive, kind and warm. He took us to genuinely interesting places and kept a great attitude the whole way, always ready to explain things, help us out and make sure we enjoyed the visit to the fullest.

Alex is the best guide for discovering the Basque Country. Highly recommended!

A fun and interesting day out with Alex

I booked this tour last minute and had a great experience with Alex! Alex was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history and the region. He knew exactly where to go for great photos (and to buy chocolate and macarons!). I would definitely recommend it if you want to see a lot in one day and learn from a local!
