Paola is the best!
Paola was an absolutely lovely tour guide! She was friendly, lively, knowledgeable and overall just a fun person! Even with English not being her first language, she spoke wonderfully and clearly. I could not imagine walking through Basel and not getting a tour from her. She changed our entire view of the city, and even showed us all the tiny details that the average person would miss. If I’m ever in Basel again, my wife and I will likely take the longer tour with her. Cannot recommend Paola enough!

Fantastic Matterhorn Experience
The all day trip was worth every minute of it. The train rides brought us through the beautiful countryside and along rivers to the final climb to the Matterhorn. The views were breathtaking and we were able to get a number of fantastic photos.
The best part of the trip, however, was our guide, Feyssal. He was absolutely the best. He was knowledgeable, funny, professional and a wonderful representative for Viator.

John knows his Swiss Cheese!
It’s only about 30 minutes, but it’s very informative. John explained the different regions where the cheeses we tasted came from and told us about the different farmers and a bit of the process. We also had the opportunity to purchase some of the yummy cheeses we tasted. John answered questions from the group and did a great job. Highly recommend!

This was a good tour -...
This was a good tour - Jean, our guide, was excellent. Only negative was Tours of Switzerland delayed our departure 3 hours with an email notice at midnight and we had to purchase our own rail tickets which we were later reimbursed for.. Poor communication.

Basel Highlights
Our guide John, met us at our hotel and gave us a 2 hour tour of Basel, Switzerland. He showed us historical places and funny things. Both sides of the Rhine River, the cathedral and the old wall surrounding Basel. Ending with a ride on Basel's public transportation. He patiently answered all our guestions and was an excellent guide.

trains, buses, boats oh my!
super efficient. you will ride a tram from your hotel, then train, then bus, then cable car, gondola, cogwheel, boat, back to the train. All expertly led by Jean and he had tickets, provided an easy relaxed experience.
not a lot of walking - one stroll that is uphill and if you want stairs outside top the tip top of mountain. my father has mobility issues and stayed and watched a provided historical movie near the top while I went up. but otherwise able to walk leisurely from one thing to the next.
don’t surprised if fog and clouds obscure view. Jean provided history, legends, practical info about swiss life and was funny.
great day trip!

Best guide ever
This tour was the best day on our journey. WE had such a wonderful time and saw beautiful Switzerland. I'd really like to express our gratitude to our guide Fayzon, he was so attentive and helpful, as we had a handicapped person with us, and he became part of our family as well as we were his. Very informative and a pleasure to be with. .

Beautiful stroll through Basel
This was a bilingual tour where the guide told the stories in both English and German which was fun to hear. Thomas was informative and witty. It was a nice easy stroll through Basel that ended with a lovely taste of gingerbread. I highly recommend it!
