Express View of Basel
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

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

Fantastic way to start your stay in the city!
Loved the opportunity to walk around and get a feel for the city. Dominique did a great job at showing me the highlights & recommending places to come back to that matched my interests.
