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!!!

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.
