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!

The guides were amazing, we had a really nice bike tour with them. They shared some local tipps with us which were so helpful. We had a joyful time with these amazing and nice people, I highly recommend them! The 3-Country-Tour was the perfect program to end our day.
💖 HUNGARY
Perfect evening tour when you’re short on free time. Beautiful views along the River, not too physically challenging, mostly flat. Despite short in duration, plenty photos opportunities, did not feel rushed. Friends had not been cycling in over a decade and felt safe. Most of the path was car free, and the few times we needed to cross roads with cars the tour guide was cautious. Fun trip overall I’d recommend!!

Eu nem sei como dizer isto da melhor forma. Há muito tempo não participava de um passeio que, à primeira vista, parecia simples, mas que, ao mesmo tempo, era repleto de curiosidades e descobertas interessantes. O que mais me impressionou foi a atenção aos detalhes, assim como o acompanhamento dos guias e responsáveis que estiveram conosco durante o passeio. Minha experiência foi simplesmente incrível. Posso realmente dizer que, durante este passeio, descobri lugares muito bonitos e vivi momentos especiais.

Wat een leuke fietstour door Basel! Guianna vertelde enthousiast en op een boeiende manier over de stad, zonder dat het saai werd. Basel is een prachtige fietsstad met uitstekende fietspaden. Als extra verrassing proefden we twee lokale specialiteiten. Je merkt dat deze tour met veel enthousiasme en zorg is voorbereid. Zeker een aanrader!
💖 NETHERLANDS
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!!

The guides were fantastic and couldn’t have done more for us. The bikes were like new and very well maintained. The tour was at a lovely, relaxed pace, allowing us to take in all the fabulous sights, with everything explained in great detail.I have to say, it was the best bike tour we’ve ever done, and we’ve done quite a lot of bike tours! We felt very safe and relaxed throughout. A big thank you to both guides from Ireland!
💖 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!!

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.

💖 LUXEMBOURG
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.

💖 DENMARK
We are a family of two adults and two children. The tour guides very thoughtful in arranging suitable bike size for my kids. They guides very experienced and took us on a circuit of many of Basels spots. They were very knowledgeable of the city of Basel and my kids enjoyed their history of Basel. The tour was easy to ride and they arranged for resting spots at suitable intervals for breaks. They even had local biscuits and beverages for us to try!! One guide was always in the lead to take us along the tour while the other was always at the back ensuring safety, so we felt very safe during the tour. They made sure my kids were okay and had enough breaks along the tour. Overall, this is a highly recommended activity and very good value!!
💖 CHINA
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.
