Our tour guide John was great! The chocolate shops he took us to for tastings were wonderful and his recommendations were helpful. The tour of the city included a beautiful cathedral, viewing small Basel, and learning about the history and culture.

Basel city tour with chocolates

Excellent tour with John as our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the city and showed us all the highlights. Of course the chocolate stops were an added bonus. We stopped at 3 shops with your pick of 3 chocolates per shop. Excellent tour. Highly recommend!

Basel and Chocolate …

We did the Basel walking tour with chocolate tasting and it was lovely. We tried plenty of different chocolates and felt like it was a good value. We had so much chocolate we were able to take a few pieces home.

Great day- excellent guide

Nico did a wonderful job orienting us to the city & highlighting the places of interest. We ending up being by ourselves which was good as he did a fantastic job pacing the tour for my mother who using a cane & was tired after departing a cruise. Great stops for chocolates- will visit again for some gifts to bring back home!
