  • 1Very late notice of cancellation

    We received a cancellation only 1 hour before we were to go to start the tour. No one called me on the phone and I was busy trying to travel there. All I saw was an email.

  • 2Not worth it. The whole...

    Not worth it. The whole thing is super short, they give you like 5 pieces of chocolate (literally) and that is the end of the whole thing. You may purchase full bars afterwards

  • 1Poor Planning

    Didn’t even get to attend because they mixed up the dates and shop was closed. Was looking forward to this, so really bummed that they didn’t plan it well.

  • 5Great Tasting

    It is not wheel chair or collator accessible. While their was a small bench most must stand for the duration of presentation and tasting. Very knowledgeable presenter.

About Basel

Basel is a Swiss city on the Rhine where Switzerland meets France and Germany, with a red-sandstone old town, a Gothic minster and many art museums.

Basel sits on a bend of the Rhine at the point where Switzerland, France and Germany meet. Its old town climbs the left bank to Münsterplatz, where the Gothic Minster in red sandstone holds the tomb of the scholar Erasmus. The Town Hall on the Marktplatz is red too, with a painted façade, and the Middle Bridge links the old town to Kleinbasel. Small ferries pulled across the river by the current alone run between the banks.

Top-ranked sights in Basel: Basel Minster (Basler Münster).
