My sister and I were in town for the Basel Tattoo and thought what best way to see the city than a bike ride. The tour was absolutely fantastic. The guide was an amazing and full of knowledge and facts throughout the tour - very hospitable and friendly which made my sister and I feel very welcomed to Basel. The pace of the tour was great you didn't feel rushed and you really got to soak in Basel riding along the Rhine. The bike ride is suitable for all skill levels. Thank you for a fabulous tour!

Eine super Tour an beiden Ufern des Rheins entlang und in die Altstadt von Basel. Sehr empfehlenswert! Gute Qualität der Velos, super sympathische und kompetente Guide. Alles reibungslos geklappt. Sehr hilfsbereit. Keine Hektik. Zeit für Fragen. Feines Zvieri unterwegs. Herzlicher Umgang mit unserem 13jährigen Sohn. Von A bis Z top - weiter so!

It was perfect!

💖 ROMANIA

 

Ik heb onwijs genoten van de fietstocht door Basel. De gids was erg vriendelijk (wist onze namen, dat geeft gelijk al een fijn gevoel) en wist veel te vertellen over Basel. Ze hield de groep goed in de gaten (tempo) en hield regelmatig een stop waarbij er genoeg ruimte was om even wat te drinken en een foto te maken. Ze had zelfs voor ons wat te drinken en te eten meegenomen! Wat een service! Ik vond het ook erg leuk dat we iets buiten het centrum kwamen, omdat ik wandelend al wel veel had gezien en nu dus nieuwe dingen te horen en te zien kreeg. De kwaliteit van de fietsen is ook erg goed. Ik was alleen in Basel, maar de gids liet me erg welkom voelen waardoor het helemaal niet erg was om in mn eentje aan te sluiten.

Very attentive guide! It’s really worth it! 

💖 BRASIL

 

We had a great time going round Basel with our guide. We were in a group where the guide was giving the tour in both English and German and didn't feel like we were left out or that this made the tour take too long which was fantastic. The bikes were in good working condition and comfortable to ride for 3 hours. We felt we saw all the sights of Basel and the guide also provided guidance on what else there was to do in Basel (museums, Munster, floating down the river etc.) for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend!!

I loved this tour and recommend for anyone visiting Basel. The guides were excellent; the bikes and equipment were of high quality and the route the tour took was beautiful!

💖 IRELAND

 

If I could give this tour a 10 I would! The tour itself was so much fun and we saw many parts of Basel on both sides of the Rhine River. I can actually say that this was my favorite activity of my 10-day visit to Europe. But what was most special was the customer service that was provided to us! The guide went to far out of her way to make sure we could participate in the tour when a problem about our location occurred. She was simply fantastic. In encouraging all visitors to Basel to sign up for this tour with this company!

A top-star bike tour!

💖 PHILIPPINES

 

Wir hatten eine ganz wunderbare Guide: superfreundlich, bestens informiert und immer um die ganze Gruppe bemüht. Wir waren zu fünft aus unterschiedlichen Ländern und haben eine Tour auf Englisch gehabt - obwohl die Tourleiterin auch angeboten hat, uns zusätzlich alles auf Deutsch zu erklären. Die Fahrräder waren super, die Strecke fast immer abseits von Hauptstrassen und angenehm zu fahren. Es gab auch immer wieder Tipps für andere Ziele, die wir nicht angefahren haben - einfach klasse. Wir können die Tour nur empfehlen!!

💖 DEUTSCHLAND

 

Both guides were fantastic, the ride was easy and very interesting! I highly recommend this tour!

💖 CANADA

 

The tour was fantastic! My parents and I were in Basel for just one day and weren’t sure how to make the most of our time. This tour around the city and the river was exactly what we needed. It was well-organized, informative, and a truly enjoyable experience. Definitely worth it!  

💖 ASERBAIDSCHAN

 

This was the best thing I've done in my whole Europe trip. It was fun, easy. We took breaks. We enjoyed the snacks, and they were so tasty. The guide was great, informative, helpful and friendly. I love everything about this tour. I wish I had more time to take the longer tour.

💖 TÜRKIYE

💖 ESPAÑA

 

Wonderful guides, a great way to "tick of" being in several countries during your stay in Basel. The ride starts in a lovely vibrant park in a fun part of town. The guides provided us with additional info about Basel and what we could experience the rest of our trip. We would love to come back some other time taking the city tour! Best regards from me and my teenager, who had a lovely time during the tour.

💖 NORWAY

 

Great tour with very nice guides. Thanks to them, we got to know the atmosphere of a city that lives together with the river. A surprise in the company of typical local delicacies was the icing on the cake. Highly recommended.

💖 CZECH REPUBLIC

 

Very nice experience. Well planned trip with interesting spots and very skilled guide. New, good bikes. Try it, it’s well worth the money!

💖 DENMARK

 

One of the best planned activities I booked, I must say. Our guide did a really good job to ensure we all are safe throughout the tour. She was very detailed explaining the history of the places we have visited. Bonus, we got to have traditional snacks over the Rhine River which was one of the highlights of the trip.

💖 ARAB EMIRATES

 

Leuke toer, je krijgt veel uitleg van de zeer enthousiaste gids. Het is fijn dat het in een kleine groep is zodanig dat je de mogelijkheid hebt om vragen te stellen.

💖 BELGIUM

 

This tour is a must if you are visiting Basel! We did 2 other tours and this tour was the best by far. The guide was fantastic, her knowledge was outstanding and easy to listen to, she even provided afternoon drinks & nibbles for us! The bikes were in excellent condition, gears easy to use and they had a basket attached to use for your backpack. This tour is suitable for any age group. Thanks, we really enjoyed the tour!
