★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 171 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $112Our pick

Basel Old Town tasting walk with Swiss cheese, bean-to-bar chocolate, pastries, and Minster and Rathaus sights.

“I was disappointed with tour, . Wanted to hear more info on Basel . Disappointed in guides cheese and chocolate shop. Would have loved to buy some chocolate to take home, but it wasn’t a store. He didn’t offer us water during cheese/chicolate tour and there was only one chair to sit down in store. When we went to bakery, had to sit on a window ledge to eat pastry. This tour was not worth the money . He was late for our tour(he did email and let us know) and left us after tour to get back to hotel. Wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone . Debbie marx”
