Basel Food Tour
109donw, Jun 2024
This tour was interesting. It is possible to split the tour over two days. We did part of the tour in the morning - coffee and cake followed by a tour of the eco-friendly store and then the sweet treat store. There is some walking to complete so having data on the cell phone allowed us to use google maps - very helpful. The last stop was a food court. The selection was broad and the food was very good. Alcoholic drinks were not included but one could purchase those separately. We went to the food court in the evening. It is well populated by families and young professionals on their way home.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s great to hear that the tour was interesting and could be split over two days. The morning activities and the evening at the food court sound delightful. Using Google Maps for walking directions was a smart idea. I'm glad the food selection was broad and enjoyable, even though alcoholic drinks weren't included.
Basel - culinary - with a difference

The self-guided tour takes us to unusual places in Basel. Exciting, interesting, enriching. We were greeted and given friendly and competent advice at every location and we really enjoyed the tour. Please note - it starts at the Kult bakery in St. Johann!
Nice idea to get to know the city

The two of us did the tour on the first day of our trip - a great idea and helpful to get an impression of the city straight away. We started the tour at around 11am in the bakery with an excellent coffee and a small local speciality (tip for the bakery: right next to the entrance there are seats like in a shop window with a nice view of the street life). Then we went to a packaging-free shop where we were given a small glass to fill. The highlight for us was lunch at Klara, where you could try your way through culinary classics from different countries. We were a little disappointed by the end of the tour in a shop with typical Basel pastries. In a sales talk in the small, empty shop, we were presented with the products, which gave us the feeling that we should buy something. We would have liked a different end to the food tour here, where you could also linger briefly in the restaurant. Additional note: We overlooked the 'local tip' on the map to use the ferry when crossing the river - that would certainly have been another highlight.
