    Unfortunately the guide did not show up or let us know they were not arriving. We booked a different walking tour direct through the tourist information office next to the train station where the staff were very helpful.

  • An amazing private tour with special surprises and tons of interesting conversation on culture!

    We took the Basel tour with Lina during which she recommended to do Lucerne next, and we were lucky to go for her recommendation, an amazing peaceful culturally rich place that we enjoyed and enriched our very short Swiss visit.
