Our tour was a nice overview of Basel. Our guide was super sweet, stopped and answered questions when we needed. We were in Basel such a short time so it was nice to have an overview and get recommendations along with some history. She was also very helpful when we needed help in getting tickets for transportation, I highly recommend this option!

I think the tour guide was very enthusiastic to show the beautiful sites in the old city. She was very knowledgeable about the tidbit stories that made the tour interesting. Loved the visit to the Marktplatz to see the fresh produce and flowers for sale. The visit to the Lookout point near the Cathedral was also scenic as it overlooked the bridge and river. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves very much and would recommend this tour to other visitors. A short but meaningful look at the Old Basel appreciating the history, art, architecture and culture.

Flavia was a great guide and a real trooper, as h
