Basel best walking tour

Adrian_V, Oct 2025

Our guide Duygu gave us a great personalised tour of Basel, showing the best spots for photos, while explaining the history and giving great local tips. We were lucky enough to have her to ourselves so we got to ask all the questions we needed and she helped us find our way around. Definitely would recommend if you like your photos to have an extra flair.

Eine wahre Enttäuschung!

Nina_S, Jul 2022

Es war ein katastrophaler Tag. Wir sind extra wegen der Experience nach Basel gereist. Am vereinbarten Treffpunkt tauchte leider einfach niemand auf. Bei der angegebenen Telefonnummer war ebenfalls keiner erreichbar und als wir dann im Chat auf Deutsch geschrieben haben (bei einer auf Deutsch gebuchten Tour) antwortete man uns auf Englisch. Für mich ok, ich spreche Englisch. Aber ich finde nicht, dass das einfach erwartet werden kann. Meine Begleitperson z.B. hätte kein Wort verstanden. So etwas finde ich nicht in Ordnung. Dann wurden wir erst mal vertröstet, man versuche den Guide zu kontaktieren - leider ohne Erfolg. Dieser war offenbar spurlos verschwunden. Nach einer halben Stunde wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass wir nicht länger warten sollen und wir das Geld zurück erhalten. Das war eigentlich ein Geschenk und wir sind extra nur dafür nach Basel gereist. Eine blanke Enttäuschung und keinerlei Versuche, den Tag irgendwie zu retten, jemand anderen zu finden oder oder.. Einfach nur "wir zahlen Ihnen den Betrag zurück". Finde ich wirklich unterirdisch! Ich hätte mir hier etwas mehr Engagement gewünscht und dann wenigstens eine anständige Entschuldigung.
