Great interactive tour - Interesting tour. All the family found it interesting and fun. It helped us to explore the town and learn new facts about Colmar. The bag was filled with the local produce and souvenirs.

Excellent app - You can tell that this app has been created by people who know Colmar and Strasbourg, and who have put a lot of effort into its design. We had great fun wandering around the city, solving the puzzles and discovering the buildings are areas. The tour includes the main Christmas markets, so we were able to both enjoy the tour and take breaks at the markets. Highly recommended.

Relaxed city tour with gifts - A varied way to explore the city at your own pace. There is also a little quiz and a small gift every now and then. I would definitely recommend it

Nice tour on my own rhythm - Really nice tour made on my own rhythm. I did not successfully complete it because I also wanted to get lost on the beautiful streets. Congratulations for the idea. I read in one comment that the tour is overpriced. I really appreciate someone prepared the small gifts, carefully packed them, and also the mobile app which was created on purpose for this tour. The idea and the effort should be rewarded for sure.

Highly Recommend! - My husband and I took this tour and our guide, Loubna, was fantastic! She made sure to tell us the history of the locations we visited, introduced us to amazing cuisine, and gave us a spectacular tour. I absolutely would recommend both her and this tour to anyone. She was prompt, professional, and even told us some of her other favorite restaurants and shops in the area after the tour ended. Thanks for such a great experience!

Best way to tour Colmar - A great way to tour the city at your own pace. We stopped for ice cream, water, lunch etc. along the way, so it was hard to say how long the tour really was. You probably could blast through it in 3 hours. But it allows you to go into museums and cathedrals along your route. A very detailed tour and some fun with quizzes and prizes along to way. Would recommend 100%.

Cool idea for families - It was a great motivation for the children (11 and 14 years old) to take part in a city tour like this. The app is great and it was great fun. We took our time and split the tour into two days. The gifts in the backpack are debatable - I'm not really into souvenirs, so I would have preferred fewer and a cheaper price.

Fun and educational - It was fun, Educational and took us to places we wouldn’t have seen and gave us a deeper knowledge of the city . Opening the small gifts was fun as well. We even saw others doing this and helped each other occasionally I took off a star because I feel it’s overpriced Still, it’s worth doing and enjoyable

US visitors - The town was very quaint. Easy to get to by train. Hard to read, follow symbols and juggle a camera. It's a 2.5 hour tour but takes about 4 hours with taking pictures and stopping to eat. If you prefer a tour with audio this does not have it.
