There are new citytours in Basel, the so called "localholic" tours!! Check out the website: http://www.localholic.ch/?lang=en

…innovative minds, industrial charm, and local treads

In small groups, no larger than 11 people, you get to know the city from another perspective. We will show you the hidden gems you won’t find in any guidebook.

You will meet the locals whose dreams and projects brought new life and energy to formerly deserted industrial quarters and waste lands; people who produce local products and are at the center of the cultural life and future of Basel.

You will explore the city on foot, by tram and on a Rhine boat. Starting at the Gundeldingerfeld, our tour leads you to the Dreispitz area and the Pfalz, ending at the harbor.

The interim use in the harbour. Many bars, cafés, restaurants. Best location in Basel to check for travelers.
