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.

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%.

Fun way to see Colmar - I did this tour with my daughter and young grandchildren (3 yrs and 1 year) while in Colmar. We really enjoyed it and definitely learned more about the city. Opening the surprises was a lot of fun! We loved that the tour was self paced and we could stop for breaks as needed with the kids. The app was very easy to use. We did have some trouble logging into the app at first. I called the number provided and the person on the phone was very helpful and we were eventually able to log into the app.

We dis the Hopla tour - This was an app which takes you for a walk around Colmar. It points out places of interest, history, funny little stories about things around and about. Along the way you get to open packages (6 little sacks) with a small token of the area - wont say what, it is a surprise. You can stop and start the app at any time and we had a break for lunch. The walk takes about 2 and half hours excluding the break. So well worth the cost and better than wondering around aimlessly not knowing all the fascinating symbols and history all around you. Only problem was some works being done by the church so we couldnt get close up or go inside and it sort of took us out of our way as the route was barred. We soon got back on track and this was not the fault of the application. Excellent way to see a town and be able to take it at your own pace.

Self guided tour in Colmar - Very fun activity. Would get the same information from a guided tour but this allows the freedom to take your time and go into the museums that interest you. The gifts were extra fun.

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.
