I am a private tour guide based in Basel, Switzerland, with 6 years of guiding experience in Basel, the surrounding three-country region, and the Swiss Alps. My tours combine local history, culture, architecture, food, Jewish heritage and Basel’s unique position at the meeting point of Switzerland, France and Germany. I guide city walks, culinary tours, Jewish heritage tours, family-friendly experiences and tailor-made day trips to the Black Forest, Alsace and the mountains. My background is a little unusual: I am Israeli-German, living in Switzerland with my young family, and I originally studied Environmental Sciences. That gives me a broad perspective — from history and identity to landscapes, nature and the way people live in this region today. What I love most about private guiding is the chance to create personal, meaningful experiences. I enjoy taking guests beyond the obvious sights and introducing them to places with real local character — small producers, family-run businesses, beautiful landscapes, quiet corners and stories that are not always found in guidebooks. I work with adults, children, families, couples, cruise travelers and private luxury clients. Whether we are exploring Basel’s Old Town, tasting local specialties, discovering Jewish history, or hiking in the Alps, I adapt the tour to the guests in front of me and aim to make the day relaxed, authentic and memorable.

A Unique Experience Completely Hidden From Other Tourists
Overview of your Basel tour
The Three Countries Tour is the most exclusive tour in my catalog and allows you to experience the three countries in the Switzerland-Germany-France triangle through stunning views, culinary delights, tastings, and meetings with local experts who will enrich the experience most authentically. Our journey will begin in the old city of Basel with a recap of the region's history and some tastings of the local delicacy - the Basler Leckerli. Continuing to the Black Forest in Germany for a short hike in one of its most beautiful areas. At the end of the walk, enjoy a 3-course lunch at a local organic farm. From the Black Forest, we will continue to Alsace in France for a visit and private tour of a family winery that includes tastings of the finest wines the region has to offer. The tour includes a private driver with close escort for the whole day. ** In case of underage participants, an alternative fun activity will be offered by me personally for the duration of the wine tasting session.
