Jonas, our guide, was excellent. He collected us from our Hotel and took us through the history of Chocolate in Switzerland as well as having a terrific knowledge of Basel’s history and architecture. The stop at the cheese shop was really rewarding, and we learned a lot about Swiss cheese production. We finished our tour after visiting a wonderful chocolate shop and sampling some delicious handmade chocolates. Jonas also gave us some tips for patisseries, restaurants and other highlights in Basel which were fantastic. A great tour.
