Sightseeing in France is a Bilbao-based provider of private day tours and excursions across the Basque Country, Bordeaux, Toulouse and the Midi‑Pyrénées. The company specializes in private sightseeing experiences that include prehistoric caves, medieval villages, Cathar country, Dordogne castles, coastal Basque towns, and Bordeaux wine regions. Trips run as 6- to 8-hour private tours with transportation and a driver-guide; itineraries are described per trip and can be tailored to guest preferences.
Typical offerings include visits to Pech Merle Cavern, St Cirq‑LaPopie, Saint‑Emilion, Medoc estates, Chateau de Beynac, La Roque Gageac, Carcassonne, Albi, Cordes‑sur‑Ciel, and Basque highlights such as San Sebastian, Biarritz, Saint Jean de Luz, and Espellette. Sightseeing in France lists wine tasting options, cultural tours in Occitania and Gers, and routes that cross coastal drives into the Pyrenees.
Details for each trip specify the departure region (for example Toulouse or Bordeaux), the approximate duration (6–8 hours), and the main attractions visited. The business position in Bilbao provides access to Basque Country itineraries while offering connections to wider French regions through private day trips. All descriptions focus on the itinerary elements and transport format as presented in the trip summaries.
Each trip summary clarifies options—for example the Bordeaux wine tour offers a midday choice between an additional winery visit or visiting Saint‑Emilion. The Toulouse and Bordeaux departures highlight local landmarks while Basque departures emphasize coastal drives and pintxos sampling. Sightseeing in France relies on clear trip summaries, private transport, and regional knowledge to present focused day-long experiences for discerning travelers.
