Good and informative - Enjoyed this. Very informative tour. Time to take pics too! No real interaction with driver but asked for a pass for free ticket. But think the hotel did give us one to use but didn't bring it. No difference .

Trip around Basal Switzerland - The tour was very interesting. We learned a lot about Basal. The driver was amazing. Not sure how she maneuvered through the streets. Gave us a good taste of what Basal is

Memorable educational and recreational experience. - We viewed historic sights and enjoyed audio commentary. The tour was very enjoyable and well worth the nominal cost.

Okay but expensive - It's okay to do something in the city and tour but it's not worth the price. The audio is not very good, it cuts, when we go down to the breaks it does not pick up on the same side and is out of step

BASEL 2 HOUR CITY BUS TOUR - Driver was fine. Unfortunately, the audio feed only included the 1st hour of the tour. The 2nd hour should certainly be excluded.

Don’t wastes your time! - Bus was overbooked. Units in bus were broken and stopped working constantly. Girl on bus who was in charge seemed mad because we brought our tickets through this site and said we should have bought them through the city transport.

Complete failure - It was a complete failure. The bus runs only once an hour. Bus was late and was already full. We finally explored Basel on foot.

DONT DO IT - We paid in advance online and then were charged again by an aggressive woman at the start of the trip. Will not use Viator or trip advisor for future recommendations.

Boring - We drove past many interesting places but stopped to look at the river and a bunch of warehouses. It was boring.
