Stoos Mountain Ridge Hike
Our guide, Chris was absolutely amazing! I’d highly recommend him for anyone who’s wanting an adventure of a lifetime. We hiked the Stoos Mountain Ridge and he was such an exceptional guide for us as it took us a while to accomplish. However, we did it.

Great wine tour!
This tour was a highlight of our trip. Colin was an excellent host/guide/driver and a really nice guy! He was highly informative and kept the tour fun and lively. We visited 3 wineries, tasted many fantastic wines and visited a few quaint villages along the way. Colin also arranged a great lunch spot for us too. This is an excellent tour we highly recommend!

Great experience !
We have a great time. Colin was a pleasure and the wineries we visited were ready for us and we tasted a lot of time. While we know the wine making process in the states it was interesting to hear the was it is done in Baden. Very personal tour and worth the money. Love it !

Winery Tours and Tastings
Colin, our guide and driver was knowledgeable, safe driver and friendly. All the wineries he chose, gave us a generous sampling of a variety of their wines, along with an explanation of their process and a tour of their facilities. It was a glorious day. I truly appreciated that he did not drink any of the alcohol which made me feel very safe. .

Basel Food Tour
This tour was interesting. It is possible to split the tour over two days. We did part of the tour in the morning - coffee and cake followed by a tour of the eco-friendly store and then the sweet treat store. There is some walking to complete so having data on the cell phone allowed us to use google maps - very helpful. The last stop was a food court. The selection was broad and the food was very good. Alcoholic drinks were not included but one could purchase those separately. We went to the food court in the evening. It is well populated by families and young professionals on their way home.
