About the trip

The journey begins in Bilbao with a welcome meet-up before a guided tour of the Guggenheim Museum, setting a cultural tone. Along the Basque coast, expect visits to the caves of Altamira and El Pendo where prehistoric art inhabits the dim, cool spaces, alongside the fine architecture of Comillas. The route then threads through La Rioja’s storied vineyards in Haro and Elciego, pairing architectural oddities by Eiffel and Gehry with wine tastings.

Crossing into France, the tour takes in the Dordogne’s prehistoric sites, including Castel-Merle’s rock shelters and caves like Lascaux IV’s replica, sometimes called the "Sistine Chapel of Prehistory". Lunch among ancient stones, food markets in Sarlat, and a walking tour of Toulouse’s market enrich these days. Local guides and a National Geographic expert impart context while small group size keeps the experience personable.
