Uncover the best of Markthalle the local Way

"Gil is a great tour guide! He was very adaptable based on our particular situation. One person in our group wasn't able to walk as well, so when we finished the tour, he went out of his way to jog to his car and bring us back. Overall he is very punctual, professional and personable. His skill with many languages was very helpful. This was our introduction to Switzerland and Basel, and we gained so much information in a short period of time due to his knowledge and communication."

"We had a delightful afternoon with Gil. His insights and energy were the perfect combination to keep our family engaged during our tour to Basel. We also enjoyed making a few stops for local food sampling. It was great to see him interacting with the local community. "

"Very enjoyable tour with Gil. He was prompt and professional "

"Amazing guy very informative and knowledgeable about the City ❤️"

"From before the trip started, Gil assisted us with our transportation and it only got better from there. From The moment we met Gil, his warm smile made us feel as though he had welcomed us into his home. We learned so much about Swiss history and culture as well as European history. The mixture of valuable Jewish history mixed in, was incredibly interesting as well. We learned more in 2 hours than we did in school for years. I highly recommend Gil for his knowledge, his friendliness and his ability to communicate history across language barriers."

"Gil was awesome, very informative and personable. Took us to some outstanding places to try some local cuisine. We tried dishes from not just Switzerland but Germany, France and Israel Top praises for Gil Highly recommend him "

"We had a wonderful afternoon tour with Gil. He provided a great mix of culture and history while introducing us to the personality of this beautiful city. We were able to see all of the highlights including a stop for some delicious Swiss chocolate. We highly recommend Gil when visiting Basel! "

"Michael was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. We (a private tour for my husband and I) spent several hours over 2 days with him doing his Hidden Basel and Food tours. He showed us many beautiful and historical places in the Old Town of Basel. We don't think we missed anything! You can tell he loves Basel too. He was well informed on the history and culture of the town. He is a very nice person and was careful to check with us on whether we needed a break, food, etc., as we went though our tours. We did give him quite a challenge on the food tour. We don't eat too much and this was a private tour, so only 2 of us, and it was in the morning (so no beer or wine stops). While he had certain stops planned out, it was clear that he hadn't planned ahead enough based on our situation. For instance we didn't need numerous pastry stops. We liked the places where we did stop to sample. The sausage and cheeses were delicious! Perhaps if he spent a little more time prior to the food tour preparing what we might do/not do would have been helpful. Overall we enjoyed our tours and found Michael to be a very friendly, knowledgeable and well informed guide. "

"We had such a wonderful time with Luci. In addition to food she shared with us so much about the culture of Basel. I love exploring a city with food as the main attraction. She was an absolute joy. Highly recommend!"

"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."
