What to expect
Your driver collects you from your San Sebastian hotel and heads toward the French border. The route hugs the coastline, with stops in each village timed for independent exploration—wander the streets, duck into local shops, and eat where locals do. Your guide provides background on Basque identity and architectural styles without controlling your pace. Expect a mix of seaside promenade time and village centre browsing. Biarritz, the largest stop, deserves unhurried wandering; its beaches and 19th-century villas reward close attention.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes; cobbled streets dominate these towns. Restaurants and cafés aren't included, though guide recommendations help. Prams are fine on flat sections but villages involve some stairs. Petrol and parking covered; any meals and personal purchases are your cost.
