With our walking tours, you’ll skip the mundane historical tours and discover the city through a local’s eyes. Experience a tour that will transform the way you travel to make it as much about the people you meet, as it is the places you see. Our local guides (Lokafyers) are passionate about their city and eager to share their knowledge and perspective. Since Lokafyers are not professional guides and tour occasionally, they provide an experience that’s authentic and personal, like a friend showing you around their city. By the end of the tour, you'll feel comfortable navigating the city and confident that you have all the information you need to make the most of your stay.

    We booked this tour as 2 friends traveling with just a few hours in Basel. It was a private tour which is a nice change of pace. Walid was completely flexible with timing and allowed us a comprehensive view of the city, and even a field trip out to the tripoint as well. We entered a few beautiful buildings and were given options on which ones we wanted to climb. We were given lots of recommendations for other things to do after the tour, which we took him up on! We learned a little about architecture, history, the universities and museums. He took us through beautiful streets and we stopped several times for pictures. He was a jovial guide and was easy to work with in determining our goals for the tour. It was a relaxing and personal experience. He answered our many questions easily. Just what we needed!

    Jeyani is a college student who was not prepared for the tour and could not clearly explain basic facts about the city. We were asked to buy tram tickets during the tour even though this was a walking tour and didn’t mention in advance.

    Tour didn’t happen. Our tour guide was confirmed to be Alina, but she was a no show. We waited half an hour. We tried to contact her as did the support group, no answer from her. Our details had all been confirmed, so it was disappointing and our money is to be refunded
