My husband and I were recently in San Sebastian for our honeymoon. We got in touch with Jon, who took us on a private tour of the Rioja region. It was wonderful! He took us to two wineries near La Guardia, and even stopped at a nice bakery on the way when we were hungry. On the drive to and... More

I had read the excellent reviews of Basque Tours on Trip Advisor and arranged for Jon to plan two tours for four of us. We found him to be an excellent guide and we totally enjoyed both days. Our first day was a tour of the Basque coast where we started in Biarritz and crossed the border into Spain for... More

It was cold and rainy for much of our day tour up into the French coast but Jon still managed to exceed our expectations. The company was great. We enjoyed the experience. Thanks Jon!

We were impressed with Jon's expertise of the area and his obvious enjoyment in showing us the Basque Country. My friend desired to... More

Both the owner and our tour guide (both named Jon) were extremely friendly and helpful during the planning of the tour and the event itself. The transportation provided by the company... More

My husband and I spent three days touring with Jon Galdos. We loved the Basque countryside and Jon was a delightful guide. His passion for all-things-Basque is obvious and we appreciated his local knowledge and connection with the country. We also enjoyed the one day we spent with Jon's brother-in-law Jon (yes, not a typo!). Young Jon was such a... More

We spent two very interesting and enjoyable days with Jon touring the Basque countryside and coast, and the French Basque region, in May. Despite one day with almost hurricane like conditions and marginal weather the other day, we had a great time. Being from the area and living there, Jon knows the territory well, and is also informative about the... More
