Gastronomy day tour from San Sebastian to French basque country - Itinerary

This is a sample itinerary. The order of the itinerary may change depending on the day, weather, etc.

In the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel or apartment in San Sebastian by your English-speaking local guide. You will make your way to France in a luxury and spacious vehicle and your tour guide will introduce you to the itinerary for the day. The first destination of the day is the beautiful Biarritz in French Basque Country. You will visit the best food market in the region and taste local delicacies. You can´t miss the fish market with the freshest seafood you´ve ever tasted! And if seafood is not your cup of tea, not to worry, there is plenty more to choose from. A nice pairing with local French wine and you will be excited to find out what´s next to try on this gastronomic tour.

A pleasant coastal drive will bring you to your next stop, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, a charming seaside town and birthplace of famous pirates. You will start off with a walk through the old quarter and visit one of the best cheese producers. Here you will taste a nice variety of high-quality cheeses paired with a wine from the nearby vinoteca.

You will then make your way back across the border to Spain but not to San Sebastian just yet. Hondarribia is one of the most beautiful villages of the Cantabrian coast and offers amazing views of France from its medieval fortress! Your tour guide will take you to a small winery or to a local tavern (depending on the day) where you will taste high-quality txacoli, the famous white wine from the basque country while you will enjoy excellent tapas to ensure you certainly will not be returning to San Sebastian hungry!

Your tour guide will lead you on a nice stroll in the walled city to take in the Basque architecture and gain a perspective of the history and Basque way of life. After a full day of eating, drinking, and exploring new places and cultures, you will make your way back to your hotel in San Sebastian.
