After the breakfast we will have at the hotel, we head to Basel. Upon arrival, our city tour begins. Basel, the third most populous city in Switzerland after Zurich and Geneva, is a magnificent city that combines both modern and historical textures; although small in area, it holds many treasures within. During our city tour, we will visit notable sites such as Basel Cathedral, which houses the tomb of the famous Renaissance writer Erasmus from the Netherlands, the main square Marktplatz, the Government Building, and Hotel Les Trois Roi. After our tour, guests who wish may join an additional Grand Tour of the Fairy Tale Villages of Alsace (Riquewihr, Kaysersberg & Colmar & Eguisheim).

This historic village captivates visitors with its colorful flower-adorned old houses, narrow streets, and medieval atmosphere surrounded by walls. During our tour, we will also see the ruins of Riquewihr Castle and walk along the old fortifications of the village to experience the medieval ambiance. Next, we proceed to Kaysersberg. Kaysersberg is a charming part of the Alsace region, a town dating back to the Middle Ages in France. It is famous for its colorful houses, narrow streets, and historical texture. Especially the Château de Kaysersberg Castle, dating from the 13th century, is one of the most prominent symbols of the town. The Sainte-Croix Church located in the center of the city stands out with its Gothic architecture. After our tour, we head to Colmar, famous for its medieval buildings, Gothic-style churches, and colorful houses. While strolling through Colmar’s well-preserved streets, we will visit St. Martin Cathedral, built entirely from pink stone, Petite Venise (Little Venice), which reminds us of Italy’s Venice with its small canals, Maison Pfister, one of Colmar’s oldest houses, and Maison des Têtes, a Renaissance building adorned with faces. Our next stop on the tour is Eguisheim, a place where you will want to take photos at every opportunity. In 2013, Eguisheim was awarded the title of ‘‘Favorite French Village’’, a village where history and nature dance together.

During our tour, the Clock Tower, the old town known as Europe's largest covered shopping area, Einstein's House, the History Museum, the Parliament building and its square are among the places to be seen panoramically.
