“I recently booked a day trip with girlfriends to Basel from Strasbourg France so I can visit a small part of Switzerland and see their Christmas Markets. Our guide, Mike, met us at the train station and started our 3-4 hr tour from the train. It was great to have him greet us there. He had a sign with my name on it. We had other friends who also went to Basel for the day but did not take the city tour. The positives are we loved having a walking tour of the city as it's beautiful. Mike did a great job telling us the history.He gave us some time…”
