This is an amazing way to get to know the city of Basel! Petra was fantastic and had lots of knowledge about history as well as places we could visit during our stay. Highly recommend!
We’re very grateful for your kind feedback. Hosting you was a pleasure—safe travels and take care!
Great introductory tour of Basel. John was very nice and we enjoyed his company on this two hour tour. He even met us at our hotel which made it easy for us.
Many thanks for your thoughtful words. We greatly enjoyed hosting you and hope you have a smooth and safe trip back!
We enjoyed our tour with Petra today. There was my wife, my sister-in-law and her husband, and my brother-in-law. Petra told us of a lot of the history of Basel and gave us an excellent overview. Only item I would suggest is a microphone for the tour guide and headsets for the customers. Because of the traffic and other sounds, at times it was hard to hear her. It is nothing against Petra!! She did very well.
We really appreciate your kind feedback. Hosting you was a delight, and we hope you have a smooth and safe trip back home!

Our guide John, met us at our hotel and gave us a 2 hour tour of Basel, Switzerland. He showed us historical places and funny things. Both sides of the Rhine River, the cathedral and the old wall surrounding Basel. Ending with a ride on Basel's public transportation. He patiently answered all our guestions and was an excellent guide.
Dear Gregor! Thank you for your positive feedback! We’re glad to hear that you had a good experience. Wish you a good afternoon.
I was surprised by how much history and beauty there is behind Basel. I’ve been to Switzerland twice, but it was my first time in Basel, and taking this tour with Switzerland Viva Tours was a great choice! Our tour guide, Ion, was very knowledgeable, kind, and funny. My teenage children had a lot of fun, and the three hours went by so quickly. We loved it!
Wonderful to hear you had such a positive experience! Our guides love sharing their passion for Switzerland, and your kind words mean a lot.
