- Start the tour at a time that suits you

Don't waste your time going on this tour

, Sep 2021
Total waste of time. We visited two places. The first was very nice. Had a cup of coffee and a slice of pound cake. We were served in the back patio, which was very nice. The second place was a store which is geared towards no waste/recycling. We were each given a small jar and could fill it with nuts, candy, or anything else in the store. It really is for locals to purchase things and bring back their jars to refill. Not sure this should have been on a food tour for tourists. The third place was closed and didn't open until 2:00. We were doing this food tour in the morning and were not going to wait around until 2:00. It was a very long walk to the fourth place so we skipped it. If you are going to go on a food tour, save yourself some hassle and go with a professional guide.
Response from Host , Sep 2021
Dear Alan, we are sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy the whole experience of our FoodTour. The FoodTour is designed as a self-guided walking tour, giving tourists the opportunity to get to discover Basel’s favourite small local gems, as well as more popular and beloved establishments. We recommend people to start at 11 am, as the third place does not serve hot food between 2 and 6 pm (which means that it is open before 2 am). Starting at the third place, you can reach the fourth place within 10 to 15 minutes by foot. You also have the option to travel by public transport, which is free for guests who stay overnight, or rent an e-bike for just CHF 20 a day. Warm regards Aline from Basel Tourism

Basel - ein multikulturelles Miteinander

Die freundliche Begrüssung und die kurze Einführung zur Food Tour in der Bäckerei Kult - Elsi trug für einen gelungenen Start bei. Die zweite Destination „unverpackt“ war sehr interessant. Viel Erfolg für Basel2030! Bei der dritten Station konnten wir uns kulinarisch verwöhnen lassen - Herzlichen Dank! Der Abschluss bei Hejkoh passt leider nicht zur Food Tour, deswegen haben wir vier Sterne vergeben.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
