Top experience! - A great experience with lots of valuable impressions and background information! When it comes to expertise and knowledge of history and the city, there are probably few who can provide better information than Rafael. He responds to the group's questions and interests and adapts the tour accordingly. Highly recommended!

Great tour of Basel - Great tour. Rafael was very knowledgeable and also attentive to our preferences. He slowed the tour to accommodate our slow walking pace and used trams to avoid the rain. He worked in art, architecture and history. I highly recommend this tour with Rafael.
