Guide was informative and passionate about Basel. She showed us all the important sights. The experience was great. She was easy to communicate with.

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!

She was very informative. Only downside was a confusion to the start time so she was 20 minutes late.

Rahel was so informed. She knew the city well as well as all the history that told the story of Basel. We had some mobility challenges and with our transit pass we were able to navigate all the places of interest. She took note of my love of photography and use of my SLR camera. Rahel regularly positioned me for perfect foto opportunities. Over 200 pictures later I was delighted. She even recommended a local eatery for traditional dishes. We parted ways with her and went to the restaurant which just enhanced a magical day! Absolutely magnificent!!!!

We learned so much from Rahel on our tour of Basel and it quickly became one of our favorite cities. Rahel was very knowledgeable and showed us so many sites we would have missed on our own.

Having a private tour is certainly worth it. Michael is very knowledgeable about Basel history. Because there was only 3 of us, he was able to address our initial and follow-up questions. We covered a lot of ground in the 2 hours, and he took us to off-the-beaten track areas of Basel where we would never have discovered by ourselves.

Michael was very thorough in his explanations of old Basel city. Both my husband and I enjoy listening to the history of the areas we visit so this was perfect. He took us to areas that we probably wouldn't have seen on our own and gave us recommendations for what to do the next few days we are in Basel. We did go on our tour on a Monday, and some places he tried to show us were closed. I recommend that if you are in Basel a few days try to avoid Sundays or Mondays as some businesses and museums are closed.

Guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Got a great overview of the old town and the historical aspects
Betty_S, Nov 2025
It was tailored to my interests…..history & architecture. My guide had so much information about the history of the area of Basel that we toured. Would definitely recommend the 2 hour private walking tour.

Our tour guide Michael was excellent. He showed us all the key historical sights of Basel. His knowledge of Basel was deep and his ability to share his enthusiasm wonderful.
Maurice_J, Oct 2025
Guide was knowledgeable, professional and kind. Great town with lots to see, art, architecture, historical venues, etc.
Chris_P, Oct 2025
Rahel was a wonderful guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Was not overly talkative which allowed me the chance to ask questions and enjoy the sights.
Nancy_B, Oct 2025
Rachel was an excellent tour guide. She knew the history of Basil and was able to answer all of our questions. It was an enjoyable morning tour!
carol_R, Oct 2025
It was a great tour. Micheal was very knowledgeable and we learned allot about the city. Would recommend it
Ashley_B, Oct 2025
We had a great time. Michael was very knowledgeable and it was very interesting. We saw many things within the 2 hours.
Wayne_H, Oct 2025
An easy two hour walking tour of the old city. Goad was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We are now preference regarding Sites, but could customize the tour to fit our interest. It was a great way to get to know a lot about the city in a short time.
Thomas_G, Oct 2025
Kripa was a great guide - the issue we had was we had requested a 2 hr tour with history as well as cheese and chocolate options. Kripa was not informed about the cheese and chocolate so we didn’t get to experience any of that. Clearly a miscommunication between Viator and the guide

Amazing Perfect tour of Basel with Rahel!!
She was flexible, informative, and very helpful
Took lots of photos of us together,
instead of selfies…
Highly recommend Rahel for the best experienced tour guide
Katrin_Z, Sep 2025
We had such a great time touring Basel with Rahel! She shared just the right mix of history, fun facts, and entertaining stories, and her explanations made everything easy to follow and really interesting. She was cheerful, personable, and flexible, always adjusting to our interests and making us feel like we were on an adventure. We saw so much, learned a lot, and truly enjoyed every moment — we highly recommend Rahel as a guide!

What an amazing Tour. Francis our tour guide was awesome. She knew all the great places to visit and shared a lot of history and knowledge of the city. She also gave us the perfect local restaurant to visit for lunch. Highly recommend this tour and ask for Francis!

There is a lot of walking and lots of steep hills. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient with slow walkers. Well worth the money
Joanna_F, Aug 2025
We had a terrific two hour tour with France. She took us through Basel and showed us many sights with time to stop and take photos as well as reading the signs in English. Thank you for a great tour.
John_D, Jul 2025
We got a very complete look at Basel… from the Art, to the River Rhine, from the Old Town and the Exhibition Hall! Learned about the Basel Münster, Rathaus, and Marktplatz… we saw the fountain at Theatre Basel, the Hammering Man statue, the Paper Museum and the Kunst Museum
Anna_S, Jul 2025
Marc was amazing. We could have spent the entire day with him learning about Basel. Highly recommend!!!
Vanessa_G, Jul 2025
Our tour guide was Diego. It was worth it! We liked Basel because of our walking tour. We learned a lot and enjoyed the key sites.
J_M, Jul 2025
Louisanna was amazing!! Great tour with historical and architectural knowledge and background. She also assisted us in getting glasses repaired and a charging cord. Wonderful guide!!
Jerome_B, Jul 2025
This is the best way to learn about Basel and local culture and history. Don’t download an audio tour when you can spend time with a human.
Michael_F, Jun 2025
We had a wonderful walking tour in Basel with our very friendly and knowledgeable guide, Marc. We would highly recommend this activity
Debra_H, Jun 2025
We had a private tour with Marc. He was very friendly and his knowledge of the various places around Basel was excellent. He is a very personable guy and easy to talk with. I would definitely recommend a tour with him. We only had a couple of hours free, so we intend to go back to Basel and will book Marc again.
