Switzerland · SHOPPING TOURS
The 6 best shopping tours you can book right now, each with its price, its running time and who it actually suits. Number one is first for a reason.
Basel Old Town food stroll with Swiss cheese, bean-to-bar chocolate, and a 17th-century spice biscuit, plus key landmarks.
“While our tour guide, Jean, was very nice - this felt more like a way to promote specific stores. We could have purchased chocolate, cheese and pastries at any of the wonderful shops in Basel instead of on the tour.”
Basel in 2 hours with Minster and Town Hall sights, plus Swiss cheese, chocolate, and Lackerli spice biscuits.
“Very fun and informative! We loved the food samplings! And bought many to take! Jean was awesome, and very patient with us when we were shopping during the tour! There were seven I’d us in our group, all family (no teenagers though).”
Five Zurich Christmas markets in 2 hours, led by local guides. Walk from National Museum to Bellevue, with optional wine cellar.
“Alexander is a great tour guide with so much knowledge about Zurich and its history.”
Evening guided Zurich Christmas Market Tour with Illuminarium, Zurich HB trees, Singing Tree, and Wiehnachtsdorf at Bellevueplatz.
“This was a great quick overview of the most popular Christmas Markets! Wear proper footwear and warm clothes since you will be walking to several markets. A great tour to do right when you get to the city!”
Private Basel to Colmar day trip with guided old town, free time to eat, and a bio wine tasting, with train included.
“We had an amazing day trip to Colmar over the Easter weekend! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience completely personalized. The town was even more charming with all the Easter decorations, and we loved exploring at our own pace.”
From Basel, visit Ribeauvillé and Colmar Christmas markets with private transport, free admission, and a scenic evening return.
“Brilliant trip to two fantastic Christmas markets. Ribeauville was the absolute star of the show. When they said it was a medieval market, we were not prepared for just what that meant. Traditional costumes, food, music, performances. It was amazing. The town itself is like something out of a painting. Gorgeous colourful chocolate box buildings and so many little shops to dip into. Colmar was very busy and a bit spread out, by comparison, but enjoyable, especially after dark. Overall, we would recommend this trip.”
Every kind of Swiss day out, and the best of each.
