Basel Old Town Walking Tour With A Guide
Paulo was très bien! Great tour
We had a really great tour with Paulo from Guydeez. She is extremely flexible with starting time, meeting point, and length of tour. I wasn’t aware that this was going to be a private tour - just us! I will recommend this tour to my friends.
