Excellent Tour of Basel

Published on Apr, 2024

Michael met us on time at our hotel in Basel. We did a long tour with him all around Basel. He was very informative and had a fun sense of humor and was easy to understand and relate to. Highly recommend this tour.

Great initial exposure to Basel

Published on Dec, 2023

Sean was a great guide. Tailored our program to our group including a great dinner recommendation. The wonderful medieval buildings were very interesting and some had great stories. A bit of a walk but it is a walking tour after all.

Great service

Published on Oct, 2023

Great guide (Michael) - prompt, informative, friendly and very much the gentleman. I'd suggest having the guide produce identification because we had no way of knowing it was Viatir guide other than he knew my name and guessed it was me waiting outside the hotel.

Wonderful Tour

Published on Sep, 2023

Sean was nothing short of amazing. Beyond knowledgeable yet able to deliver tons of history that was user friendly to two women who aren’t typically history buffs. Was deeply invested in us having the tour we wanted and clearly loves Basel.

Awesome tour guide, new all the sites very well

Published on Jun, 2023

Tour guide took time to explain everything, very knowledgeable. Was not in a rush, we were his main concern.
