I am Rafael Nevado, a passionate History teacher with over 20 years of experience. Six years ago, my love for history and culture brought me to this vibrant Swiss city, where I discovered its hidden charm and rich heritage.


Imagine walking along the cobblestone streets of ancient Gross Basel, where every corner holds a secret and every building has a story to tell. What mysteries will the city reveal?

As we go, I will share with you anecdotes and historical facts that will make you see the city in a new light. From the old markets to the majestic churches, each stop on our tour is designed to immerse you in the very essence of Basel.


The tour is offered in Spanish and Catalan , so you can feel comfortable and enjoy this unique experience to the fullest.

At the end of the day, you will have walked the streets of Basel, experienced its history and felt its soul. So, do you dare to discover the secrets of Basel with me? The city of culture awaits you with open arms!
