For American travel advisors
A local Basque Country partner for your high-value US clients
The Basque Way supports US travel advisors who need a reliable, English-speaking team on the ground between Biarritz, San Sebastián, Bilbao, Rioja and Bordeaux. We help turn a client brief into a realistic private itinerary, then handle guiding, premium transport and local coordination.
Why advisors use us
Your clients do not need a generic tour. They need someone local who understands timing, distances, restaurant culture, hotel logistics, border crossings and the difference between what looks good online and what actually works on the ground.
One local point of contact
Etienne Lecuivre coordinates the guides, vehicles, timing and route so you do not have to manage several suppliers.
US client expectations
We regularly work with American travelers who expect clear communication, comfort, punctuality, flexibility and polished service.
French and Spanish Basque Country
One team covers Biarritz, Bayonne, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, San Sebastián, Bilbao, Rioja and Bordeaux connections.
What we can handle
We support both simple requests and complex multi-day itineraries. Advisors can send us a loose idea, a hotel list, or a detailed client profile.
Private touring
Half-day and full-day private tours with English-speaking local guides, food-focused routes, coastal drives, villages, museums and wine estates.
Sightseeing transfers
Point-to-point transfers with meaningful stops between San Sebastián, Biarritz, Bilbao, Bordeaux and Rioja.
Multi-day planning
Route structure, pacing advice, hotel-area guidance, restaurant suggestions and local days that fit the client’s travel style.
How to brief us
Send dates, hotel plans, number of guests, client interests, mobility notes, budget level and any must-do restaurants or hotels. We reply with what is realistic, what we recommend changing, and the best way to make the trip feel seamless.

Can you operate on both the French and Spanish sides?
Yes. We cover the French Basque Country, San Sebastián, Bilbao, Rioja and transfers toward Bordeaux.
How quickly do you reply to advisor requests?
We usually reply within 24 hours with either a proposal, a first route structure, or the key questions needed to quote accurately.
