Although the children (12, 14) were not very enthusiastic at first, their ambition and joy of discovery was quickly awakened and we were able to enjoy an interesting and varied tour through Basel.

Very good experience. The description is wrong, saying that they are complicated questions because they are not true. They're quite easy and you're going to remember the city so much.

Easy, funny and full of interesting information on the city. Cool way to get to know a city alone, with a team of family or colleagues. I can only recommend!
