Boring city or guide without much information? - I appreciated that he followed our walking pace, rather than us having to follow his.
Basel is either a really boring city or this tour guide didn't know much to tell. He mostly showed us the outside of buildings, along with the inside of two churches. We didn't learn much about the history of Basel, just that Switzerland has been neutral for hundreds of years (duh!).
He helped us find a Swiss restaurant and left us there after 60 minutes of touring.
