        Located on the banks of the majestic Rhine River, Basel is a city that combines a rich history, vibrant culture and a deep appreciation for the arts. On a tour of this Swiss gem, you'll discover the Altstadt, Basel's old town, which is part of the Swiss National Heritage. Don't miss the imposing Basel Minster, a stunning example of Gothic architecture, whose towers offer panoramic views of the city. Basel is often referred to as the "cultural capital of Switzerland", and for good reason. The city boasts an impressive array of museums, including the Fondation Beyeler, Kunstmuseum Basel and the Vitra Campus. Art lovers will be delighted by the masterpieces on display, from classic works to contemporary installations. Basel comes alive with a series of festivals throughout the year. The most famous of these is Fasnacht, Basel's unique and colourful carnival, celebrated with elaborate parades, music and intricate masks, which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

        March tour
        Our tour was good. Unfortunately during this time of year, everything was closed especially in Stein am Rhein. However, our tour guide really did not know any of the names of the castles or the places he brought us too and did not know much history. He did not provide water until we asked a couple of times as it was included. He took his time and brought us to another little town to make up for it. Having a private driver was great but definitely not worth the price.

        Jungfraujoch in the rain and snow!
        Pascal was a wonderful driver who made the most of our very rainy day! He was great with my boys (11 and 15) and helped us with logistics in Lauterbrunnen and made a quick switch to Grindewald to make sure we could reach Jungfraujoch despite construction. We had zero visibility at the peak which was really disappointing but the cable car, train, Alpine exhibits and drive through several quaint towns made our day in the Alps worth it!

        Liechtenstein wine is fine
        Heidiland and Vaduz are great places to see after the main cities (Lucerne, Interlaken, etc.). They're not far from Zurich as it turns out. We had a fun, polite, patient and careful driver, Pascal. He gave us welcome drinks and chocolate, and walked around with us to some of the sites. Liechtenstein wine, which we tried in Vaduz, is very good and fine.

        Exceptional driver/guide unique tour
        Our driver, Pascal, was tremendously helpful and informative. We took the boat ride at Rhine Falls for a closeup view of the spectacular falls. A very enjoyable as well as scenic walk through the old town in Stein am Rhein. Overall a great day in spite of the rain.

        Excellent private driver -- let's hear it for Pascal!
        We used Viator to book a private car to take us from Zurich to Zermatt (and back) and were assigned a fantastic driver, Pascal. Pascal was absolutely amazing. He speaks, at least, four languages (French, Spanish, German, English). Is an excellent driver who was very punctual, friendly, and helpful. As an added bonus, he was a wonderful tour-guide as he told us a lot of information about the places we passed and suggested things to do. His car was in excellent condition and very clean. He was a safe driver. We highly recommend Pascal!

        Amazing Airport Transport Experience
        We went on a Christmas market River cruise so booked our transport to the Zurich airport from the port in Basel. The Rhine River had other plans, the boat couldn’t make it back to Basel due to high water. I was able to communicate the entire time and move our pick up location. Our driver Pascal was such a gentleman! Since we had a 1.5 hr bus ride to reach the pick up spot, he offered to stop for us to have a restroom break. He even had euros for us to access the restroom. He provide water and French chocolate for us in his clean and comfortable Tesla. Thank you Pascal for taking such good care of us and getting us to the airport on time! We will use this service again!!! Merry Christmas!
