The trip was great. Albi was a great tour guide and gave us lots of interesting information. Only 3 stops but the scenery is wonderful along the way. Gaztelgatxe was a challenge to get all they way to the top and back. You have great views that are well worth it if you don't go all the way. The Guggenheim is unique While the amount of time there is short it is more than adequate for a worthwhile visit.

The tour was very easy to book. We liked the size of the group and Alvy, our tour guide, was very friendly. We thought that the tour was fairly priced! Gazteligatxe is was a beautiful spot, be prepared to burn some calories!
