Tinguely Fountain

Mixed. See comment. Guide was quite good in general, but some easy to remediate items would have helped.

High energy and professional, Ann was well prepared and did a fine job. Suggestions- Guide needs to use an inexpensive microphone so she can be better heard. Also, guide should carry an umbrella or similar thing to hold high, as there were huge crowds that made it hard to see where she was going. Holding up her hand with her picture portfolio is not sufficient, as she is quite short. And lastly, guide should slow down and await people in the restroom. She pointed it out and then continued to speed onward! One man never found his way back to us. Lastly, use your Basel card if you have one to cut the price of this tour in half.
This was a lovely tour!...

We have booked multiple tours with Viator but this one was the absolute worst. While this tour was described as being in German and English, the time spent on providing information in English was extremely short compared to the German explanations. On top of that it seemed that our guide kept apologizing to the German speaking people often saying to us "and now I need to talk in English". At the end of the tour she even noted that the tour went over time because she had to repeat things in English. My recommendation to tourists...only book a tour in your native language. My recommendation to Viator...only offer tours in one language.
Superbe!

This tour should be offered for 12.50 CHF because all guest staying at the hotel will be given a Visitor card which them the discount. The tour uses the same guide as the one offered by the city with the discount

Refund issue

I tried to get my ticket via the email sent to me but it wouldn't open the ticket. Then went to app on the phone and in my account it did not show the tickets I purchased for the tour the day before. So we walked to the location the website showed for the tour and the tour was not there. When I tried to contact tripadvisor through their website it doesn't have "another reason" option for a refund. Only specific reasons like weather issues like that. No response yet. Feel we should not be charged for their app to not work on my iphone.
