About this tour
This is a short planning call for a Biarritz weekend, built around the time you actually have rather than a fixed list. We talk through the beach, the old town and the surf coast and settle on what fits. It sets up a stronger live session later if you book one.
We start with how much time you have and what draws you to Biarritz specifically, then I suggest a route and check current conditions as we talk. It runs as a conversation rather than a presentation, and most calls end with a clearer plan than either of us started with. You get a short written route afterwards.
This suits travellers with a short window who want to arrive with a plan already in place. It also works well before booking a longer live session.
Included
- A 45-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider
Itinerary
-
Hello, and what you want to know 5 min
The guide calls you and asks what you are after: planning Biarritz, recommendations, or just questions.
-
What we plan 15 min
We talk through the beach, the old town and the surf coast and decide which matters most given how much time you actually have. I explain which combination works best depending on the season you are visiting.
-
What I check for you 15 min
I check the current surf and weather pattern along the coast, since it changes what is worth prioritising on a short visit. You leave the call with a short plan built around your own pace.
-
Your questions 7 min
Ask anything that is still on your mind, there is no fixed script.
-
A written note after the call 3 min
You get a short follow-up message with everything mentioned, so you do not have to remember it all.
Good to know
- A stable phone or internet connection, whichever the guide uses to reach you.
- No app to install. You answer when the guide calls, or join a video call if you would rather.
- Times are shown in Paris time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The call is not recorded. Keep your own note of anything you want to remember, or wait for the follow-up message.
- Have your questions ready, though there is time to think of more as you go.
Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Biarritz: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
How it works
