Top experience! - A great experience with lots of valuable impressions and background information! When it comes to expertise and knowledge of history and the city, there are probably few who can provide better information than Rafael. He responds to the group's questions and interests and adapts the tour accordingly. Highly recommended!

A great walking tour of the old town - Rafael showed us the most interesting and beautiful sites and views in the old town. He was friendly, flexible, patient and answered all our questions, and we had many. The walking tour was perfect for our limited time in Basel.

Great tour of Basel - Great tour. Rafael was very knowledgeable and also attentive to our preferences. He slowed the tour to accommodate our slow walking pace and used trams to avoid the rain. He worked in art, architecture and history. I highly recommend this tour with Rafael.

Nice tour with the great tour guide - I've purchased this tour through Viator. It happened that I was the only one who signed up for this tour. I was expecting that Rafael is going to cancel it. To my surprise, he didn't.
Since I was the only participant, I asked whether we could start a bit earlier. Rafael agreed. During the tour, he was sharing the facts about Basel and was answering (sometimes, probably, a bit personal) questions. He was giving me time to take a picture of something I was interested at.
I would recommend this tour to anyone who is going to visit Basel.

To know about this gentleman - If you appreciate being skillfully questioned about your political orientations, enjoy more than an hour with this gentleman, you will have been asked the question as it should be!
