Basel Tourismus (tel: (061) 268 6868; www.basel.com) offers a number of scheduled tours, including guided walking tours; a one-hour tour on board a vintage tram; guided rickshaw, bike or segway tours; and a guided tour of the Roman town of August Raurica some 10km (6 miles) away. There is also a guided tour (for a maximum of four people) devised specifically for visually-impaired visitors.

Alternatively, hire an iGuide at the tourist office, and follow in the footsteps of such well-known historical figures as Hans Holbein and Paracelsus. There are five tours to choose from, and the iGuide provides a valuable audiovisual accompaniment through the historical Old Town of Basel.

Basler Rhy-Taxi (tel: (061) 273 1414; www.rhytaxi-basel.ch) offers boat tours of the Old Town and port with spoken commentary.
