A GREAT day with a wonderful person
"We had the absolute pleasure of taking a local walking tour of Basel with Luci, and it was one of the highlights of our visit. From the moment we met her in the lobby of our hotel, it felt like we were exploring the city with a dear friend. Luci guided us through the key landmarks of Basel, sharing not only the city’s rich history but also valuable insights that helped us continue exploring confidently on our own afterward. Her deep knowledge of the city and local culture was evident in every stop and every story—and she answered every question we had with enthusiasm and clarity. Beyond being incredibly informative, Luci was warm, engaging, and an absolute joy to spend time with. Getting to know her made our experience even more special, and we’re so grateful for the time we shared. I wholeheartedly recommend Luci to anyone visiting Basel. If you’re looking for a guide who will make you feel welcomed, informed, and inspired, Luci is the one to call."
