In just over one hour Durygu showed us the highlights of Old Town Basel and gave us some insight into life in this Swiss city. She was very considerate and easily understandable. We only had one day in Basel and appreciated her ability to bring it alive
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review. We are happy to read you had a great time! We hope that in the future you can discover another city with LocalBini as your travel partner!
I really enjoyed the tour. My guide "Duygu" was brilliant. Very kind & spontaneous. I liked that it wasn't a tour just rambling out dates of when things happened, but more a leisurely walk trough the city with general explenations about things. Really recommend it
