Colmar Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Description
Half-timbered houses, flower-lined canals and a town that looks illustrated rather than built — Colmar is almost too pretty to be a game board. Almost. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Colmar on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Begin among the trees of Place Rapp and its general's statue • Drift through La Petite Venise, Colmar's canal-side postcard • Decode the Place de l'Ancienne Douane and its old customs house Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size. Alsace's jewel box, unlocked clue by clue.

Very interesting and informative. Entertaining and very easy to use
Genau als lockere Alternative zur klassischen Führung ist das Ganze gedacht – schön, dass das bei dir so aufgegangen ist! Kurzweilig und einfach in der Handhabung: mehr wollen wir gar nicht. Und Colmar mit seinen verwinkelten Strassen ist dafür sowieso wie gemacht. Lief bei dir also alles reibunglos 😄. Wenn du Lust auf die nächste Runde hast – wir haben noch jede Menge andere Städte am Start! Euer Explorial Team
Did it with my wife and we loved it. It is ideal for discovering Colmar while having fun with the riddles. The route is super nice and you go at your own pace. I recommend it.
Merci beaucoup Claude Découvrir Colmar en couple avec les énigmes, c'est effectivement une chouette façon de passer un moment à deux 😄 Ravi que le parcours vous ait plu, à vous et votre femme. Plein d'autres villles vous attendent pour la prochaine escapade Votre équipe Explorial
It was interesting but found minimal street directions. Audio would make this experience better was difficult to read and enjoy scenery
Hi Adele, thanks a lot for your feedback! You're right, reading while taking in Colmar's beautiful streets can be tricky – that's really valuable input for us. Good news: an audio read feature is already planned for the next release of our app, so soon you can simply listen and enjoy the scenery at the same time. We'll also have a look at the street directions in the Colmar tour to make navigation smoother. Sorry it wasn't as smooth as it shoud have been this time. We'd love for you to give it another try once the update is live – maybe in Colmar again or one of the many other citys we cover. If anything comes up, just reach out to us anytime. Your Explorial Team
Unfortunately, we have not received the code for the app and have therefore not been able to use the paid tickets.
Hallo, bedankt voor uw bericht en onze excuses voor deze vervelende ervaring. Het is niet acceptabel dat u voor tickets heeft betaald maar de code niet heeft kunnen gebruiken. Normaal gesproken versturen wij de code op twee manieren: per sms naar het telefoonnummer dat via Viator is doorgegeven, én per e-mail — deze e-mail komt echter niet rechtstreeks in uw inbox terecht, maar wordt weergegeven als chatbericht in uw Viator-account (onder "Mijn reizen" / berichten). Dit wordt helaas gemakkelijk over het hoofd gezien als men dit niet verwacht, of de sms kan zijn misgelopen door een onjuist doorgegeven nummer of geen bereik ter plaatse. Wij begrijpen dat dit voor u niet duidelijk was, en willen dit graag rechtzetten met een volledige terugbetaling. Neem contact met ons op via info@explorial.com met uw boekingsnummer, dan zorgen wij hiervoor. Tip voor de toekomst: controleer bij boekingen via Viator altijd ook de berichten/chat-sectie in uw Viator-account, niet alleen uw sms en e-mail-inbox.
We really enjoyed this tour as it gave us a great opportunity to see the city and find out lots of information about the area . It was great that you could pause and continue at your own pace and convenience
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
Very funny, it makes you live the city differently, you notice things you would never have seen alone and tells curious and interesting anecdotes! Time passes quickly and nicely! I will definitely use it in other cities!
Grazie mille per questo ottimo feedback! Spero di vedervi presto in un'altra città. I migliori saluti dal team di Explorial
application loaded, payment made, but unable to access the activity link. As a result we could not do anything and we had paid for three people.
application chargée, paiement effectué, mais impossible d'accéder au lien de l'activité. Résultat nous n'avons rien pu faire et nous avions payé pour trois personnes.
entertaining tour of Colmar.. You experience the city, pass by all the sights. Great keep it up..
Vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback! Hoffentlich bis bald wieder einmal in einer anderen Stadt! Liebe Grüße vom gesamten Explorial-Team
We were going for a small WE of 2 days or almost and 1 night in COLMAR. I came across this offer and: magic!: We spent 2 hours visiting COLMAR as we did not the day of our arrival. In addition to the places, we had several nice anecdotes. Frankly, I keep the app for a next visit to a new city! Guides are TOP, but alone or with friends (next time, that's what we'll do!), in a fun way, it's TOP! Long live the concept!
Merci beaucoup pour ce super feedback ! J'espère vous revoir bientôt dans une autre ville. Salutations de toute l'équipe Explorial
Was trying to think of something to do so that we could really appreciate the beautiful city of Colmar and NOT just wander around aimlessly. This app and tour was so interesting and very easy to use. We absolutely loved our time learning about Colmar and would thoroughly recommend this app. We're driving around 11 European countries this month and will now look up this app at any opportunity to discover a new city in a new country.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
