Wow! Doryan was an absolute treasure of a guide. He's a local, and knows all the hidden secret beauties Colmar has to offer. He also has a wealth of historical knowledge of the area, and was a delight to converse with. He tailored the tour to our interests (we are both architects), and we had a wonderful time. Thanks so much, Doryan!

Jonas was also very pleasant, friendly and professional. He also suggested restaurants and helped us to navigate the tram system. I highly recommend this tour if your time is limited.
