Creator's Tips & Advice

Come in a few days early or stay a few days late to explore Basel if you're going on a Rhine River cruise.
Book a private tour guide, especially on your first day, to get the lay of the land.
When going for fondue, look for a traditional fondue house, not a tourist spot, and stick to bread and fondue.
Do a little bit of research to step off the beaten path and avoid touristy eating spots.
