Superb city - which had already pleased us in winter, with the Christmas Market - discovery with milder days! Very favorable weather led us to walk the pretty shopping streets! Experiment with coffee! A läckerli will be placed next to your cup... it replaces the usual small chocolate.
Lovely personalized tour!

We were shown all the interesting sites of the city and felt like we were touring with a longtime friend! We opted to spend three hours and that was the perfect amount of time to see the major highlights of Basel.
Friendly Guide to have a great time with

Alina is very good guide. I loved spending time with her and the way she explained about the Swiss culture and various historical places at Basel.

It was great because I just wanted to walk around the city. I came in on a train and left on a flight a few hours later and rather than wandering around on my own, I greatly appreciate it a big circle of Basel, all the major points of interest, and being allowed in places I wouldn’t have known I could go. Alina is very friendly and we started out quick pace and then slowed which was perfect for me. If you’re looking for a full-blown historical tour, this is not for you, but if you want to be escorted around the city with knowledge about what something is and what you’re looking at, then this is a very good choice. Very relaxed and it was like walking around the city with a friend!
Fun tour of Basel.

Alina gave us a great customized tour of Basel. She was friendly and personable while taking us to memorable places to see in the city. She didn’t rush us but still made sure we saw all the sights. An enjoyable tour.
Great way to see Basel!

Tour was horrible! She didn't talk to the 4 of us only to the person walking in front. Didn't explain the sites well. She is difficult to understand as she had a strong accent.
Fun way to explore Basel

This tour was pretty fun and a good way to explore Basel. Alina was very lovely and chatty and had many suggestion for places, restaurants and shopping. Since Alina gives some great restaurant recommendations, I’d suggest finishing up the tour in the early evening then head to dinner and drinks and soak up the nice vibes - especially if you’re around in the summer :-)

I visited Basel at the beginning of December with my wife, who was attending a medical symposium. I had three days to myself to fill while my better half was busy. When I travel and visit new places, especially cities and towns, I often use this benchmark - what would it be like to live here? Also, when it comes to city guided tours, I typically look for someone who can walk a lot, show me a few landmarks, take me to a couple of the best museums, and introduce me to places to eat and drink while also sharing insights into what it's like to live in the city. Keep it light; I read enough detailed history books per year in my spare time. I chose Alina based on a previous review, which described the tour as akin to being welcomed to the city by a friend of a friend. This was the exact type of tour I was looking for. The tour with Alina met all my criteria, even exceeded them, so we ended up walking around Basel for two days. She also turned out to be a friendly, very good-natured, and engaging person to converse with during my tour. Based on Alina's suggestions during the tour, I picked a couple of museums to visit, with the Basler Papiermühle being the best. We also visited a few historical landmarks, walked around inside the town hall just before closing, thanks to Alina's very friendly approach to the staff there. We visited famous chocolatiers, coffee places, and had amazing food in a couple of places - finishing the tour with a drink in the funky cocktail bar, Bar Rouge, with stunning views from its 31st floor. Thanks to Alina, I fulfilled my curiosity about Basel and also found out a bit of information about what it is like to live there. If you enjoy exploring and getting to know cities this way, I highly recommend hiring Alina.

Alina is kind and personable, and we appreciate that she messaged us and worked to cusomize our tour, but she needs to upgrade her knowledge about the city. I don't need nonstop noteworthy names, significant dates, historical events, and important locations - but she did not provide much information - and was unable to answer even the most basic questions. I do not recommend this tour.
