Great guided city tour with a super set up bus (each passenger had a pad with info), interesting stops and info. The pity was that the driver could hardly speak German. The departure point near the center is perfect. Value for money top.
Waste of time and money

Very poor tour. Way too much down time on recorded narrative. Could have told so much more on sights we were passing in the city. Driver was terrible. She just went through the motions of driving. Didn’t tell us how to connect our iPads. We’ve never used them before. No expression on her face. She certainly didn’t to be there. No interaction. Made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Not a way to welcome visitors to Basel. Total waste of our time and money.
Good overall look at the city

Good way to get overview of the city. We had expected a stop for a food tasting as advertised. This was not done. Overall a good experience.

Bus was overbooked. Units in bus were broken and stopped working constantly. Girl on bus who was in charge seemed mad because we brought our tickets through this site and said we should have bought them through the city transport.
