2.00This is not the typical culinary walking tour, although advertised as such. One pastry purchased per person (there was just two of us) to eat as we walked. No knowledge of what we could choose from. Then walked and took two trams with some history of the city to end up at a small shop owned by the guide with one chair to sit in total, with slivers given of 7 cheeses with explanation of some of how they are made. Then for the chocolate , half hour explanation of where the Cacao comes from with tasting of the nub of four cacao beans and two small squares of actual chocolate bars. This was not what we signed up for based upon the tour description and the pictures and even some of the reviews. Buyer beware.
Fraudulent

1.00Ignored my efforts to arrange a meet up and then reported me as a “no show” in order to keep the $350. I showed up at published “small group” meet up location on their website. The tour guide was not responsive to phone calls, emails, what’s app and viator texts. Terribly unprofessional and fraudulent behavior. Do not book. Viator has not returned my funds.
We learned a great deal...

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable regarding the local cheese and chocolate shops. His tour through Basel covered historical topics as well as cheese tasting. He even helped us figure out the local public transportation system. We would definitely book another tour with this company again if we are lucky enough to return to Switzerland.
