Bike Basque - Biarritz

Ludo Beaufils

Séjour incroyable aux bons soins de Xavier et son équipe (Nigel au vélo, Philip à la logistique et Édouard à la logistique et aux massages!).
Un groupe de 18 mélangeant des grands adeptes du vélo de route et des débutants en e-bike, le tout sur un trajet de 5 jours, ca n’a rien d’évident à gérer. Xavier et son équipe s’en sont sortis merveilleusement bien, s’assurant des arrivées des différents groupes à la même heure à nos points de chute: des hôtels ou restaurants sélectionnés par ses soins et tous fantastiques. Une équipe hyper attentionnée et très pro, un parcours sublime et au final un groupe au complet totalement sous le charme du Pays Basque (et du vélo). Bravo!

What a trip! 18 of us, ranging from well-trained road bike fanatics to complete beginners, set out to bike through the Pays Basque with Xavier’s help. Clearly not a simple trip to organize. Xavier and his team did a phenomenal job coordinating the various groups of bikers (including e-bikers) running different routes but always landing at our destinations more or less together. Those destinations were nothing short of fantastic: beautiful hotels and some phenomenal restaurants on both the French and the Spanish side. The trip left everyone in complete awe of the Pays Basque and some with a newfound passion for biking. Congrats, Xavier and team - you did it! A million thanks!

Excellent service. Xavier vient déposer et reprendre votre vélo chez vous à l’heure qui vous convient. Les vélos sont de bonne qualité (groupe Ultegra) et bien entretenus. A recommander sans hésiter !

Xavier Lopez is a chill mastermind with a genuine passion for designing and executing custom luxury bike trips. Everywhere they needed to be, Xavier and his partner Ewa gave us an unforgettable introduction to the Basque culture and terrain. Trip of a lifetime.

Spent four nights and three days cycling the Basque country with Xavier and his team. The routes were fantastic with plenty of beautiful scenery and charming villages. Xavier was knowledgeable and diligent as our guide.
The hotels were first rate as well as all of our meals.
Would highly recommend without exception, and would love to do another trip with This company.

We did a 3 day, 4 person ride designed by Xavier and with Xavier and Niguel guiding us through Basque country. It was spectacularly beautiful, the biking was great, the restaurants and hotels were outstanding and every detail was carefully managed. Every moment was fun, a perfect trip.

Pete McHugh

Rented two bikes in May 2019. Excellent service from Xavier from start to finish.
He was extremely responsive and delivered the (brand new Orbea) bikes to our villa and recommended some great cycling routes around the beautiful Basque Country.
Will definitely use Bike Basque again - highly recommended.

We have just spent a week with Xavier and Ewa doing the Basque loop. The ride was challenging for us 63ish year old amateur cyclists, but Xavier made it enjoyable with some e-bikes, terrific support, superb food, lodgings and knowledgeable guidance. We all feel like we have a new friend in France, and Ewa, his co-leader, was also delightful and inspiring.

We (Four 60-something Americans) spent three wonderful days biking with Xavier and Nigel on a Bike Basque trip. We were all exceptionally pleased with the attention to detail, flexibility and choice of route and accommodations. Xavier was always one step ahead making sure our trip ran smoothly and Nigel was by our side, guiding and keeping track of the front of the pack (3 on e-bikes) and our hero in the rear on a traditional bike. They were always encouraging and helpful in every way. We would all definitely book another trip with Bike Basque. It was truly a wonderful experience!
