Top Biarritz Walking Tours

We were in Biarritz for 3 nights. We Love doing walking tours to get the history and basic layout of the town. This did not disappoint. Great recommendations for lunch spots after the tour also.

Excellent experience and highly recommend. The tour gave a great overview and took me to spots I never would have found. A great introduction to a wonderful place

An absolutely genuine and authentic experience that gave us a true appreciation of Basque Country, the people, the culture and the food. Ettiene was just the most pleasant person to spend the day with and he always went out of his way to take care of us. We spent 5 days in Biarritz and surrounding countryside and it was a once in a lifetime adventure.

Valerie was an amazing tour guide! She was informative and entertaining! We learned so much, tasted the specialties of the region, and learned so much!

We had a fabulous time with Valérie on the gourmet tour of Biarritz. She was very warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the area. We learnt so much about the Biarritz and basque region and the delicacies on offer.I would highly recommend booking Valérie for an exceptional insight of Biarritz.

Our group of four couples had a most enjoyable trip to the Basque region of Spain and southern France, guided by Etienne Lecuivre of The Basque Way. Our excellent experience with him started with our planning our itinerary together. Of all the guiding firms we contacted, Etienne clearly had the best knowledge of the region and command of the English language, which proved to be most helpful the entire trip. Not only did he command English, but he also spoke French, Basque, Spanish, and probably other languages. We asked him to design an itinerary where we could focus on the people, culture, art, history, and food/wine of the region. For our week with Etienne, we spent three nights in Bilbao and four nights in San Sebastian. From there we took walking tours of the cities and excursions to the surrounding cities/villages of the Basque region. Etienne performed in every respect. He provided a comfortable Mercedes van that accommodated us 8 with luggage, he drove us the entire week and guided us in many locations personally. Since he knew of our particular interest in history and culture, he also subcontracted guides in several locations. Cameron guided us in Gernika and Getaria and provided excellent walking tour of the history and culture of the region. In Hondarribia, Marta was excellent. Charles guided us in Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Bayonne and couldn’t have been more informative, positive, and educational. One day we spent in the countryside of the region and Etienne’s colleague, Arnaud, guided us there. He has particular insight in the region, is a native of the area, and introduced us to things that most tours would not have covered. He was also excellent and even challenged us to a game of Pala on an outside court in one of the villages. One of the highlights of the week was a preparing our own meal with a local chef Jerôme in Bayonne at L’Appartenance. All in all, we can recommend Etienne and The Basque Way without reservation.

Great overview of sjdl history with a friendly guide. Viktor showed us many highlights of this charming town while keeping the pace and energy upbeat. We were a big group of family and friends and were fortunate to experience this together. Definitely a memorable day.

Alan is an expert on both the history and geography of the Basque Country. His manner of explaining the information helps you to understand what is a vast subject.

Our trip to San Sebastián was all I could have asked for and more. Our guide, Javier, spoke excellent English, knew the city like back of his hand, and went out of his way to answer our questions about Basque culture, language, politics, and to highlight places in the city he knew would be of interest to us. An outstanding tour, highly recommend.

Excellent tour. Was very insightful. Our tour guide was great, full of cute stories that added a lot of fun to our tour. Definitely the best way to get a great feel for the city.

Nice way to get to see parts of Saint Jean de Luz. Wasn’t so keen on the challenges but I guess they’re more aimed at kids. Would definitely do more tours like this again.

Great tour with David, really brought the history and geography of Biarritz alive. He was generous with his time (we overran a little). The tour is mostly focused around the main centre and the old harbour, so you don’t really walk too far but got a real insight into how Biarritz developed. We saw some interesting buildings, such as Coco Chanel’s first shop which I would not have know about otherwise!

The Route is top, it allowed us to discover the monuments of Biarritz in a fun way, at each point of interest a small cultural rating to read and sometimes historical photos to support. The gps of the app is fluid in short: do not hesitate! without this route we would have passed by pretty monuments and their stories!!

We had an excellent tour with Alan! He guided us from the Biarritz lighthouse, weaving together insights on Basque nature, history, geography, architecture, and culture. The tour was very nicely balanced, with some fun game elements that made it engaging and enjoyable. Alan’s style is gentle and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. Truly recommend this tour! Mila eskerrik asko!

A super long day out with a really expert guide in Xavier. We loved his local knowledge and love of his native area

Tour was excellent. Our guide, Xavier, was a true professional and very knowledgeable. His trainee, David, was also very pleasant and knew a lot about the region’s history. Both guides were able to answer all of our questions, they were efficient with time, and gave us a great overview of San Sebastián.We would highly recommend both Xavier and David for tours.
