Good to Know
The tour lasts approximately 12 hours and involves walking on uneven terrain and climbing steps, particularly at San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. It may not be suitable for people with reduced mobility. Entrance fees to attractions and monuments are not included, nor is food or additional drinks beyond the Txakoli tasting.
You'll want to bring comfortable walking shoes and consider packing snacks or purchasing food during the stops. The coastal location can be windy, so bring layers appropriate for Atlantic weather conditions.
