I stopped in Basel and, waiting for the flight, I visited it in about 9 hours. A clean, tidy city with a colourful square with rides and stalls selling street food and local produce. Wonderful cathedral, the view of the Rhine river, original Tinguely fountain with several moving sculptures in the water.

The most memorable parts of our tour with Jonas was walking through the streets of old town. Jonas was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. He was enthusiastic and very enjoyable to be around.
