Basel, the Swiss city on the Rhine, is a natural starting point for both river cruising and wider Swiss touring. Tratoli offers 5 packages here, from Rhine departures like the eight-day 'Treasures Of The Rhine From Basel' to broader trips such as the Swiss City Escape, Scenic Swiss Journey and the nine-day Swiss Heritage Tour. Every option is a multi-day package, so you book a full itinerary rather than piecing together separate activities.
