Basque Destination

TRAVEL AGENCY

“Creating memories” is the slogan used by the travel agency Basque Destination, a receptive tourism company based in Zumaia and which has been helping visitors discover the Basque Country for years through exclusively designed experiences. The company mainly caters to three types of audience: the visitor who comes to the Basque Country on his or her own and wants to go on some excursions, those who want their entire vacation to be organized for them, and the MICE traveler (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions).

Those who seek to enjoy the best of the territory through an excursion lasting a few hours or a few days can do so by hiring one of the many packages designed by Basque Destination. Among the most requested excursions are the visit to the Añana Salt Valley, a tour of the French Basque Country, a meal at a cider house, getting to know the locations where the ‘Game of Thrones’ series was filmed, the Pintxotour of San Sebastián, and a VIP night at the racetrack.

The company can also organize the whole trip for travelers seeking to forget about all the nuances of planning, reserving commercial flights or private jets, luxury hotels, transfers, and –of course– experiences.said experiences usually include,in addition to those mentioned above,meals at gastronomic clubs,sailing trips along the coast, and visits with local guides to historically relevant places such as the Ordizia Market and Ignatian Land.

Business tourism represents an important part of the daily life of the team at Basque Destination. From small executive meetings to events with up to 1,000 attendees, the agency offers a complete coordination service: reservations for flights, accommodation, conference centers, restaurants, transfers, etc. with 24/7 assistance. Incentives are also in high demand: bike tours through vineyards in the Rioja Alavesa region, surfing the famous waves of Mundaka Beach, and learning to cook with the best Basque chefs.

Whatever type of travel you are after, Basque Destination is committed to providing you with a taste of the local culture featuring an emphasis on the Basque language. This cultural commitment along with the company’s slow travel philosophy has made it stand out from other companies, bringing it to be a leader amongst agencies from around the world and their ambassador when it comes to “creating memories ” for their customers.
