    Quick overview of Basel.

    If you’re traveling with Viking, get a definite location of the pier in Basel. Viking uses 3 different piers. The excursion guide will meet you there. Tour with a guide very knowledgeable about Basel history and current culture.

    Outstanding Basel Orientation with Janha!

    Stephen_M, Dec 2025
    A wonderful experience getting oriented in Basel, learning some of the history and culture of the city and enjoying the afternoon with our guide and new friend, Janha. She provided a wonderful overview that helped us more fully appreciate our experience in Basel over the next few days. It was very helpful, interesting and pleasant.
