The best of Basel - Despite very wet weather Michael gave us a superb cultural and historical tour around the old town and little Basel. It was totally absorbing, stimulating, informative and most enjoyable.

Beautiful day in Basel - Our guide, Marc, was outstanding!!! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Basel. We had an elderly walker and Marc was very cognizant of that. He was personable, very easy to hear and understandable. We had a lovely day. He has a secret historical place to take you that few know about so you need to ask for him.

Very nice visit - We very much enjoyed the visit of Basel with France. This one showed us the main districts of the old city, told us about history, politics, and architecture, including Basel tales and legends. We have discovered places where balois like to eat and drink. It was a really interesting ride. Thank you for this beautiful visit!

Great Attitude, Weak Knowledge - Our tour guide on our recent private tour of Basel was a very nice and enthusiastic guide who clearly wanted to provide us with a good tour. However she was lacking in a couple areas. First, she didn’t seem all that knowledgeable about Basel. We were expecting a coherent presentation about Basel’s history and perhaps Switzerland in general. A history spiel is the norm for walking tours, group or private. I learned more from my tour book. It was admittedly much easier to get from place to place but I’m sure we would have gotten there ourselves and saved $215. The other gaff worth mentioning is that we asked for a recommendation for a restaurant to have a traditional Swiss meal, hoping for some inside knowledge on a place offering good food at a reasonable price. She directed us to Walliser Kane which turned out be super expensive (64chf for schnitzel & fries!), clearly targeted at sucker tourists. We left after reading the menu and before ordering.
