The tour takes in most of the key sights in the old town. Very informative guide (Maverick). Our issue was that there were just us and another couple who only spoke French. We booked a tour in English. The guide had to translate for us. This slowed us down and made it a bit boring in between translations.
It was a lovely small (only 2 of us!) tour. Very friendly and welcoming guide. It was a nice pace and learnt a lot about beautiful Colmar.
The tour guide Maverick gave us good information about the town. He was very personable and funny. It was a little hard to understand him at times and because it was an English and French tour we felt we weren't getting the full stories he spoke in French.
I was very happy to have such a nice visit to Colmar my guide was outstanding very informative and funny keep our group very engaged.
The guide very friendly but more animator than connoisseur of the city. In several respects, his knowledge was very confusing, even erroneous. The price paid is not in accordance with the amateurism of the guide.
Maverick gave us such a great tour - highly recommend to anyone in the area. He braved some chilly weather and delivered!
Maverick was friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable about Colmar and its history. We had a great tour.
Maverick our tour guide was very passionate about showing us Colmar. It is beautiful and I did learn some interesting facts. My only problem was that it was a bit hard to understand him at times so I feel I missed out on some of what he was saying. Kudos to him for knowing a second language. Just wanted to be honest
We had a very good visit. The guide has very good knowledge. And is very nice. Thanks to Maverick! See you soon!
Maverick led a very informative tour at an easy pace and shared some excellent local knowledge that helped our guide our continued stay in Colmar. I would highly recommend this tour and our guide, Maverick.
