Late August Day in Basel - Our guide (Juliana) was well-versed, arrived prepared and was able to infer our core interests in seeing Basel. She provided a rich view of the city, both present-day as well as covering the detailed history, which gave us a sense of its' historical importance. It was a very lovely Sunday, which showed Basel and relaxed, family friendly and full of special bakeries and, of course, chocolate stores. Strongly recommend.

A different city tour - Combining chocolates with city walking tour was definitely a good idea. Chocolates were really delicious and stops also allowed us to rest a bit and not to rush. Recommending it if you want a different city tour. Our guide John was just fabulous!!

Basel Best - We had an amazing tour of Basel mixed in with delicious chocolate tasting. We do walking tours every where we visit and this one was one of the best we’ve ever experienced. Our guide was prompt, extremely knowledgeable and courteous, and incredibly patient with our two year old. If you’re looking for a thorough, well balanced tour of history, culture, and art (oh, and chocolate!) this tour is for you!

A different city tour - What a nice way to discover Basel while tasting some local chocolates. The cherry on the top was Basel tradional biscuit and they even gave us some water bottles which definitely is much needed when walking across the city. Thanks a lot!
