Your Cost to Go

COST OF THE BASQUE Coast Trekking TRIP

10 Days/ 9 Nights – May 21 to May 30, 2020

The base price of the trip is approximately $3,190 per person, but is dependent on several variables such as the number of participants on the trip, the exchange rate of euros to dollars and or participant’s willingness to be in a double occupancy hotel room vs. a single room. (This price is based on DOUBLE OCCUPANCY. The SINGLE OCCUPANCY supplement is $800.)

The base price per person of $3,190 includes the following:

  • All accommodations with breakfast
  • fully guided sightseeing (including park and entrance fees) as noted in the itinerary
  • Group airport transfers to/from hotel in the first/last published city as noted in the itinerary

After the trip you will be billed for  the nine a la carte meals, plus the ferry and two Eusko Tren – Topo train rides, which are not prepaid.  The estimated cost of these lunch and dinner meals, including wine,  is based on the specific restaurant, and average choice of menu items ranging from €30 to €60 per person.
