Our guide canceled on us at the last minute . For a once of a lifetime trip, we are highly disappointed
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Thank you for your review, every feedback is very valuable to us.
As we put an emphasis on quality, we will take your opinion into account and do everything to avoid a similar occurrence.
We hope that in the future, the Locals in Basel will be able to change your mind with your next potential booking.
Kind regards

The best of Basel

We had only one day in Basel after disembarking from a Rhine River Cruise and wanted a short tour so that we could have time on our own to explore the city. Alexander was fabulous! He met us at our hotel and did a wonderful job showing us around his beautiful city. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and hospitable. He even chose the perfect little restaurant for us for lunch. I highly recommend using Alexander if you ever get the opportunity to visit Basel. He was the BEST!!!
A great walking tour

Chad was knowledgeable about Basel culture and the history. He answered all our questions very well. Would do another guided tour with him.
The tour was great and Maria was even better!

Our guide, Maria, was super! She loves Basel and it shows. She was passionate and incredibly enthusiastic. Our tour was fun and informative. She took the time to answer all our questions. My wife has some mobility issues, Maria paced our tour accordingly. She even allowed extra time to cover all the sites. She offered suggestions of other things to do before we left the city. She went above and beyond. We have taken a couple of Viator tours before with excellent guides, but Maria is the BEST.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
