Description

Experience Basel on a unique city tour with the vintage tram. A historic motorcar from the 1920s takes you to the most beautiful sights while a tour guide comments on the route live in German and English.

Practical Information:

No registration is needed for toddlers sitting on an adult's lap.
Space for strollers is limited.
In case of poor weather, the summer car will be replaced by a closed trailer.
