Best walking tour of Old Town Basel - This was the best tour we’ve been on. Our guide Bea Tschopp, was informative, enthusiastic, animated, friendly, and very knowledgeable. She kept a great pace pointing out, old and new facts and history that we would’ve walked by without noticing. There was even a sweet treat at the end. Two thumbs up!
