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!

Clean and colorful city - I stopped in Basel and, waiting for the flight, I visited it in about 9 hours. A clean, tidy city with a colourful square with rides and stalls selling street food and local produce. Wonderful cathedral, the view of the Rhine river, original Tinguely fountain with several moving sculptures in the water.

tour operator a no show - We found not locate thr tour operator for one hour. The contact phone number did not work. We contacted Viator and they could not contact them as well We received no tour and no refund. After 7 years of using viator this is the first time a tour operator was unreachable, gave us no info on who our guide was to be and a vague meeting place. Evidently viator paid the operator without them providing the service.
