Paper ticket

This food tour will take you to places that are a little bit different. The tour, which lasts around three hours, will take you away from the usual tourist attractions and give you the opportunity to get to know “iconic Basel” – and enjoy it slowly. You will visit four establishments in total. They all do things their own way. And are sure to win you over. Their concepts are different and this is precisely why locals love them. You’ll be surprised at the delicious foods awaiting you. It’s worth allowing enough time, and it wouldn’t hurt to skip breakfast either.

  • POORLY ORGANIZED AND NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF BASEL CUISINE

    First, access to the actual 'details' were not available on or through the voucher / texted link. You need to print the details from a PC. Second, there was no indication that there is a 'formal order' that we were supposed to visit the 4 sites in. We had our concierge at the hotel help us locate these 4 spots according to the PC details, and she outlined a 'route' that helped us see the city, but that route was apparently different than what the 'official' route was supposed to be. So, when we got to 'our' 2nd stop, the woman in the store tried to keep our 'new' vouchers (the vouchers from Viator / tripadvisor are NOT the vouchers that you actually use...). Third, the 'available times' for the individual shops is not known until you actually get to the 'first official' stop. Only in the 'real vouchers' that you get at that first stop will it tell you store hours. We got lucky in that the first stop allowed us to actually get our food / beverage, even though we showed up right when they were closing for the day (3:30pm). Finally, other than 1 stop, none of these stops really focused on local fare. In fact, one was a 'food court' with foods from all over other parts of the world. Definitely won't do something like this again with Viator / tripadvisor. Very disappointing.

    One of the vendors was rude. Was adamant that her stop was last and tried to keep our cards. Finally just sat them down and said “whatever “

    Total waste of time. We visited two places. The first was very nice. Had a cup of coffee and a slice of pound cake. We were served in the back patio, which was very nice. The second place was a store which is geared towards no waste/recycling. We were each given a small jar and could fill it with nuts, candy, or anything else in the store. It really is for locals to purchase things and bring back their jars to refill. Not sure this should have been on a food tour for tourists. The third place was closed and didn't open until 2:00. We were doing this food tour in the morning and were not going to wait around until 2:00. It was a very long walk to the fourth place so we skipped it. If you are going to go on a food tour, save yourself some hassle and go with a professional guide.

    We enjoyed to see parts of the town we wouldn’t have seen without this tour. Every shop, bakery, cafe was special and recommendable.
