Biarritz is under an hour from San Sebastián, and the 7 French Basque Country day trips here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €79 per person for a shared day through Biarritz, Bayonne and Saint Jean de Luz with lunch and pickup in the small group versions to €479 for a private car and guide for the day priced for the whole group. The coast tours cover the Belle Époque beaches of Biarritz, Bayonne's cathedral and chocolate and the harbour of Saint Jean de Luz; the countryside version crosses an old smugglers' pass to Sara, Espelette and Saint Jean Pied de Port; one private day is all about French cheese, wine and charcuterie.
A quick way to choose: the shared tour has a bilingual budget option that skips lunch and pickup, most private days are priced per person with a minimum of two, and every one of them needs a passport or EU identity card for the border.
