Incredible Start to a Great Stay! - Lina was an amazing guide through Basel! I booked the tour for our (6 people) first morning in the city, and I am SO glad that I did! She gave us lots of great information and history of the city as well as tips for navigating different areas on our own. She even looked up restaurants for a specific cuisine and called the restaurant to confirm availability. Lina has an incredibly engaging and competent personality. After our tour we felt quite comfortable exploring on foot and train. Lina is a true gem...thank you so much for the experience!

Great overview of old town - This tour gave us the ability to get acquainted with the city and to learn a little about its spectacular history. We loved having the option of our tour guide meeting us at our hotel and easily jumping on and off the city trams to get to the locations without too much walking. The tour guide also helped us capture some great photos!

The best way to know a new place; book this tour - A new place always comes to life with the knowledge of a good guide. Basel is rich in history and our terrific guide, Ray, showed us its treasures. His knowledge and friendly attitude made our private tour a pleasure. I’m so happy we had him as our guide.
