About this tour

Discover the beauty of the Basque Coast with this exclusive experience designed for cruise passengers.

We’ll depart from the port of Bilbao and, after a comfortable 40-minute transfer, arrive in Guernica, a symbol of Basque history and culture. Here you’ll have time to see the famous Tree of Guernica, the Assembly House, and stroll through streets full of tradition and identity.

Next, we’ll head to Bermeo, a charming fishing village that will captivate you with its colorful houses and lively harbor. Enjoy its authentic atmosphere, visit the Church of Santa Eufemia, and take in the stunning views of the Cantabrian Sea. You’ll have free time to wander, take photos, and, if you wish, taste local cuisine at a seaside terrace.

Before returning, we’ll stop at the Eneperi viewpoint, one of the most spectacular spots on the Basque Coast. From here, admire the breathtaking scenery made famous by the series Game of Thrones, with panoramic views of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, a magical setting that has become a global icon.
Finally, we’ll return to the ship (approximately 50 minutes by bus), ending an unforgettable day of history, culture, and dreamlike landscapes.
