Countryside Tour

Tour Description

Take a day tour excursion from San Sebastian to discover the most picturesque region of the Basque Country: the French Basque Countryside. A place where borders “do not” exist, but played a fundamental role in history.

We will cross the border through a mountain pass and embark on a journey on the land of smugglers, pilgrims and soldiers.
