    We visited with our kids (17 & 21, so not really kids…) and had a good experience. Most of the tour attendees were Spanish speakers, but Sonja our guide was very good about giving the information in both languages. I never felt we were getting an abridged version. Vitoria was a beautiful stop and the salt flats were fascinating. The last stop in Getxo was fine, nothing particularly great. The lunch in a converted monastery was delicious, and a nice way to break up the day. I would recommend it as a good way to cover a lot of country easily and quickly.

    Sonja was a great guide. Very informative and took her time narrating in both English and Spanish—we never got the feeling she was just hitting the highlights for the few English speakers in the group. Lunch at the old convent was amazing, and we liked touring the salt flats and Vitoria. Highly recommended for an overall Basque experience in a short amount of time.

    I had a great time, it's a good opportunity to get out of Bilbao and San Sebastian and see some of the Basque countryside. I went with my wife who was pregnant and the tour was very suitable for her. The lunch was delicious and the salt beds were a great experience.

    Overall, the sights and itinerary were great. We saw a lot of the beautiful Basque Country. Unfortunately, we were the minority (English speaking) in a mixed language tour group (Spanish and English). The tour guide was very friendly. But he did not translate everything into English (even after I asked him). How did I know? We ended up reading the transcript from Google Translate to find out why the Spanish translation was two times longer than the English commentaries. At the salt fields in Salina de Ananas, the entire tour was in Spanish. We were told that Viator did not book us a bilingual tour guide. We were given a booklet to follow along from station to station. This was unacceptable. Viator let us down this time.

    Traveling with a family from Madrid. Having a tour guide that knew a lot about professional cycling and took the time to point out sites from the recent Tour de France stage. The visit to the salt mines.
