Overview

Experience a private tour from Bilbao to two Basque Country gems: Gaztelugatxe and San Sebastián. Begin with a scenic drive to Gaztelugatxe, a stunning 10th-century hermitage perched on a rugged island, famously featured as Dragonstone in Game of Thrones. Climb 241 steps for breathtaking views of the Bay of Biscay as your guide shares its rich history and legends.

Then, head to San Sebastián, the Basque culinary capital, where you'll savor five delicious pintxos paired with local wine or cider. Explore the charming Old Town and La Concha Bay on a guided walking tour.

This exclusive trip blends nature, history, and gastronomy for an unforgettable experience.
