Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"From before the trip started, Gil assisted us with our transportation and it only got better from there. From The moment we met Gil, his warm smile made us feel as though he had welcomed us into his home. We learned so much about Swiss history and culture as well as European history. The mixture of valuable Jewish history mixed in, was incredibly interesting as well. We learned more in 2 hours than we did in school for years. I highly recommend Gil for his knowledge, his friendliness and his ability to communicate history across language barriers."
"Gil was awesome, very informative and personable. Took us to some outstanding places to try some local cuisine. We tried dishes from not just Switzerland but Germany, France and Israel Top praises for Gil Highly recommend him "
"We had such a wonderful time with Luci. In addition to food she shared with us so much about the culture of Basel. I love exploring a city with food as the main attraction. She was an absolute joy. Highly recommend!"
"We had the absolute pleasure of taking a local walking tour of Basel with Luci, and it was one of the highlights of our visit. From the moment we met her in the lobby of our hotel, it felt like we were exploring the city with a dear friend. Luci guided us through the key landmarks of Basel, sharing not only the city’s rich history but also valuable insights that helped us continue exploring confidently on our own afterward. Her deep knowledge of the city and local culture was evident in every stop and every story—and she answered every question we had with enthusiasm and clarity. Beyond being incredibly informative, Luci was warm, engaging, and an absolute joy to spend time with. Getting to know her made our experience even more special, and we’re so grateful for the time we shared. I wholeheartedly recommend Luci to anyone visiting Basel. If you’re looking for a guide who will make you feel welcomed, informed, and inspired, Luci is the one to call."
"We had a wonderful afternoon tour with Gil. He provided a great mix of culture and history while introducing us to the personality of this beautiful city. We were able to see all of the highlights including a stop for some delicious Swiss chocolate. We highly recommend Gil when visiting Basel! "
