Basel Private Walking Tour with a Local Guide

A Wonderful Way to Discover Basel
Paola was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met, she was so warm, friendly and welcoming. Her knowledge of Basel and its history is incredible, and you can really feel how passionate she is about the city. She happily answered all my questions and shared so many fascinating stories and little details that I would never have discovered on my own. I had such a lovely time with Paola — it honestly felt more like exploring Basel with a friend than going on a tour. I learnt so much, laughed a lot and came away with an even greater love for Basel. I couldn’t recommend Paola highly enough!

Wide ranging tour with friendly guide. Highly recommended
After a river cruise ending in Basel and spending the day we were going to wander over to Zürich for the chocolate museum. Arno picked us up on time at our hotel early in the morning as arranged. The vehicle was spotless and spacious. We easily stored all of our luggage (4 adults). What a great time and a good value. Arno is knowledgeable and personable. We got a well balanced tour with a broad array of activities covering many interests. Then he dropped us safely at our Zürich hotel that evening. Highly recommend booking with Niemi.

From Basel: Premium Panoramic train, Lucerne & Interlaken Tour
Leah_P, Sep 2026
Action-packed day with beautiful views!
Our trip to Lucerne and Interlaken was action-packed! I went with my 71-year-old parents and we all loved it. The train ride was relaxing, and our guide, Juliana, did a great job making sure we knew when to get off and sharing information about the sights along the way. Lucerne was definitely the highlight, and I honestly wish we had more time there! The guided portion includes visits to two churches, which was a nice introduction to the city. Interlaken was also nice to see, but we had very little free time there—probably only about 20 minutes. If you have a sweet tooth, be sure to check out Vittorio Vanni for some delicious Swiss chocolate! There was quite a bit of walking in both cities, so come prepared. Overall, this was a great way to see both places in one day, and I would definitely recommend this trip!

Basel to Zürich Scenic Private Transfer with Alpine Stops 1–4 pax
Paul_G, Aug 2026
Best "airport transfer" ever
This "airport transfer" turned into a top 10 day. We're a 72-year-old couple who travelled through five countries with our lifelong friends to celebrate a 70th birthday. Aarno showed up 30 minutes early. The four of us already knew we had a new friend in Aarno. Aarno's friendly style and knowledge of Switzerland was just what we hoped for. We had a disappointing Rhine cruise because of low water, but this day saved our adventure. It began with a scenic ride toward the Alps in a very comfortable MB van to Interlaken where we made several memorable photos beside the beautiful twin lakes. The cable car ride to Murren was breath taking. We had lunch at a restaurant overlooking an endless valley with snowcapped Alpine peaks and parasailers floating above and below. Aarno joined us for lunch and helped us negotiate the cable car and winding alleyways of Murren. We bought the most delicious chocolates in Interlaken. We arrived at our hotel in Zurich exhausted and smiling. During the entire day we laughed with Aarno as we shared "Sopranos" stories (we're from NJ) and Grimm fairy tales. We hugged Aarno goodbye and vowed to meet again.

Fun time in France
We went to beautiful villages. Everyone always talks about Colmar but we liked the other two better. They were smaller and retained more of their charm. The tour was at our own pace so my mom didn’t get overwhelmed. Our driver is very knowledgeable about all the places we went to.
