Basel's best walking tour.

5.00Our guide Guygu, gave us a great personalised tour of Basel, showing the best spots for photos, while explaining the history and providing great local tips. We were lucky enough to have Guygu to ourselves so we got to ask all the questions we needed and she helped us find our way around. Definitely would recommend if you like your photos to have an extra flair.

Photo Memories Of Basel

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Although not what I had expected - a photographer who would show me the best places to capture memories - this was really good and the end result exceeded my expectations. When we indicated we had a walking tour of Basel the day before, she altered her plan and took us to places we had not seen - and photographs I would never have gotten on my own. I highly recommend this!
Love modern architecture? You'll love Basel!

5.00Basel is a fantastic location for a city break, particularly for those who are interested in photographing modern architecture. Right in the centre there are notable buildings by world renowned architects. An easy tram ride also gets you to the Novartis Campus, which is like stepping into a modern architecture textbook, and just over the border in Germany, the Vitra Campus. There are architectural tours of both sites - whilst the Novartis Campus is open to visitors during business hours, most of the Vitra Campus can only be seen via the tour (which is excellent).

5.00Basel has many very unique sights to see and we really enjoyed this tour that highlighted them. Our tour guide, Alistair, did a wonderful job of taking us to the unique spots and sharing the city from his point of view. I would recommend this tour especially if you don't have very much time to explore Basel on your own.
This was an AMAZING experience to see the city from unique perspective!
