    Great tour!
    Francis was lovely and very knowledgeable. She was also very flexible as we got on the wrong tram and she came to meet us at the train station instead of our designated spot to ensure we got into the beautiful cathedral before closing time. Great tour!!!

    A tour that let's you experience Basel
    Basel has many very unique sights to see and we really enjoyed this tour that highlighted them. Our tour guide, Alistair, did a wonderful job of taking us to the unique spots and sharing the city from his point of view. I would recommend this tour especially if you don't have very much time to explore Basel on your own.

    This was an AMAZING experience to see the city from unique perspective! Maria called us before the booking we adjusted a little the schedule to weather conditions so we could get perfect shots of Basel! We will be back next winter.

    Nice start to visit
    My girlfriend and I only had a day in Basel and decided to book a tour with Viator. Our guide Martina showed us all the must-see sites. Perfect tour to get a first introduction of the city, she also showed us some loclas gems.

    Happy travellers :)
    Our local was very kind and knew the city like the back of his pocket. Nice anecdotes and inside stories you cannot find online. We never were in Basel before so this was a good start to get a feel of the city. It helped us afterwards when we wanted to explore on our own. Nice tour, would book it again.

    Awesome walking tour of Basel
    The cathedral and monastery were magnificent! Our guide, Florence, was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and passionate about her city. It was contagious! We were impressed by how clean and well preserved the old town is...and quite larger than we had thought. Florence gave us great tips for eating, shopping and further exploration. Highly recommend a tour with her!

    Best of Basel excursion
    Despite the rain, our local guide planned the tour so that we didn't get too wet. He was technically knowledgeable and able to answer all questions. The guide provided us with drinking cups so that we could drink from the water fountain.

    Walk with a local around the historic streets of Basel.
    Maria took us to places that we most likely would not seen on our own. Choose this tour when want to spend 2 hours with a local guide.

    Photo walking tour
    This was a great way to see the city! Chad was our guide and took us to some sights that I know we would not have seen on our own. He got in touch with us the day before so we knew where to meet up. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Basel and also was kind enough to help us figure out the tram system back to our hotel. Would highly recommend!

Loved the opportunity to walk around and get a feel for the city. Dominique did a great job at showing me the highlights & recommending places to come back to that matched my interests.
