BASQUE LUXURY TRAVEL SERVICE: when traveling by road becomes a pleasure that distracts us from the ordinary
The history books say that modern tourism was invented by two nineteenth-century publishers who never met: German Karl Baedeker and Englishman John Murray, authors of the travel guides that bore their respective surnames. But one thing is to travel and another very different thing is the art of travel, whose impulse is placed by some at Rue Neuve des Capucines of Paris, where craftsman Louis Vuitton opened his trunk workshop in 1854. With the appearance of the first car at the end of the century, the European aristocracy was succumbing to the designs of Monsieur Vuitton, intended for traveling on four wheels. That’s how the Roof Trunk, the Driver’s Bag and the Keepall Bag came to be. Since then, traveling by road has become a pleasure that distracts us from the ordinary.
Travelers who opt for the beautiful and sinuous cartography of the Basque Country have an excellent network of main and secondary roads. But nothing is comparable to traveling them with a local person who can guide you and reveal the secrets of a unique territory to you. That is one of the commitments acquired by BASQUE LUXURY TRAVEL SERVICE, the leading luxury road passenger transport company in the Basque Country. Customers appreciate drivers’ recommendations –a multilingual team with more than 20 years of experience– and they show great interest in getting to know the real Basque Country.
Discretion, excellence in service, and having a modern and recently-added-to fleet are other keys to this company’s services – always respecting the highest international standards of luxury. The BASQUE LUXURY TRAVEL SERVICE fleet is made up exclusively of Mercedes Benz S-Class long-wheelbase vehicles that can hold up to four passengers, as well as Mercedes Benz V-Class models for up to seven travelers. These cars, equipped with the latest technology, include navigation screens that offer multimedia entertainment with music, movies, and documentaries. Their high level of comfort is due to the design of their black, leather seats which are reclining, heated, and have a multi-function massage feature. Our clients also have a fragrance menu for the car, wireless phone, Spotify, high-speed Wi-Fi, headphones, and chargers for iPhone and Android cell phones.
In the famous Baedeker and Murray guides, the authors placed special emphasis on the idiosyncrasy of each stop, deciphering local peculiarities and really presenting the destination to the visitor. BASQUE LUXURY TRAVEL SERVICE embraces that approach: its professionals make a significant effort to bring Basque culture closer to passengers –also in its vehicles– by incorporating locally made products by the luxury firm itself: BASQUE LUXURY MAGAZINE, with information about the destination; BASQUE LUXURY WATER, Europe’s most balanced natural mineral water that comes from a spring in Elgoibar; BASQUE LUXURY WEATHER umbrellas, which are made entirely in Oñati by the same company that supplies the Royal Household of Spain; and silver name plates for the drivers created by the prestigious Casa Munoa jewelry shop of San Sebastián. The question is, after all, to perfect the art of traveling with care, enthusiasm, and professionalism.
