Paola is an outstanding guide. Her knowledge of historic and current Basel provided a revealing and colorful narrative of this fascinating metropolis. Our many "tourist" questions and interests were answered and addressed. She enjoys sharing her knowledge and love of Basel with her growing visitor community in five languages. Paola is the best. Danke. Phil and Claudia, Medford, Oregon, June 2026.
Michael was very well versed on the history & architecture of Basel. He was a wealth of information. Really enjoyed the tour.
Hello, we visited Basel as a family with Paula. The visit was dynamic, and Paula managed to engage us without overwhelming us with dates. Additionally, she sent us restaurant ideas and activities. In summary, I highly recommend Paula for a guided tour of Basel.
Excellent tour. Basel is a very interesting town with lots of history. Paola was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories about the town, the people and the culture. She adjusted the itinerary and the pace per the needs of our group. One last thing,… I made the reservation a month before the actual tour date. Within 1 day of making the reservation, Paola reached out to me and we began planning our tour. I would highly recommend doing this tour with Paola.
Rahel was an excellent guide for our few hours spent in the city! She was very knowledgeable and showed us many hidden things that we would have missed had we walked around on our own. She also answered many of our questions about traveling around Switzerland. A lovely way to spend a morning in Basel!
Paola was amazing - a great guide, so informative, so flexible, so willing to adjust to our preferences as to what to see/do - would highly recommend!
Paolo is a wonderful tour guide; full of enthusiasm, energy, and knowledge. Highly recommended Basel tour.
Our tour guide Paola was wonderful. Her love of her beautiful city of Basel came shining through and she was very attentive to our time constraint of 2 and a half hours. She tailored our tour and got us back to the train station exactly on time. She told us lots of history of this beautiful medieval city. I highly recommend Paola and Viator!!
