The Amazing Flavors of Switzerland
Mary was an exceptional tour guide, took us to some incredible breweries and we had an amazing time. She was kind, friendly, and gave us many good tips to help us enjoy our first visit to Switzerland before our river cruise. And the beers were top notch!

Best Beer Crawl in Basel
The beer crawl as amazing and Mary was an absolutely perfect guide! She taught us about the tram and took us to some amazing pubs, sampled some great beers, and had some awesome photo opportunities! It was such great first night in Basel - we can't wait to explore the other areas that Mary told us about! What a fabulous city with so much history!,

Great time with Matt and Elly
The beer tour was very informative! Our guide, Lina, was really helpful and also taught us how to travel around Basel via local transport, recommending us the fastest way to get around the city and back to our hotel. She even gave us great food recommendations in Zurich and introduced us to the best donuts in Basel! The experience with the local brewery, Matt and Elly, was also really wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed the beer tasters and they had AMAZING tapas as well. The owners of Matt and Elly also introduced to us the basics of beer brewing process and we got to explore a little and took a look at their fermenters! It was a great tour overall!

Beer Crawl – Local Brews, Cool Stops & Good Times | From Basel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Basel.
How much does Beer Crawl – Local Brews, Cool Stops & Good Times | From Basel cost?
+
Prices start at $112 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Basel usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Beer Crawl – Local Brews, Cool Stops & Good Times | From Basel take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Basel is not rushed.
Is Beer Crawl – Local Brews, Cool Stops & Good Times | From Basel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Basel, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Beer Crawl – Local Brews, Cool Stops & Good Times | From Basel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Beer Crawl – Local Brews, Cool Stops & Good Times | From Basel suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Beer Crawl – Local Brews, Cool Stops & Good Times | From Basel?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Basel can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Basel and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Beer Crawl – Local Brews, Cool Stops & Good Times | From Basel start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Basel within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Basel?
+
On Outty we rank every Basel experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alsace wine tour and medieval villages. Small group guided tour, Basel : Private Custom Walking Tour With A Guide (Private Tour), From Basel: Premium Panoramic train, Lucerne & Interlaken Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Basel?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Basel?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
