Walk and read

AdeleB, Jul 2026

It was interesting but found minimal street directions. Audio would make this experience better was difficult to read and enjoy scenery

Response from Host, Jul 2026

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

Good

Miruna_Z, Jun 2024

Good value for money experience. I recommend you do it on a sunny day. We followed the stations with google maps and we found some great picture spots along the way.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Good morning, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.

Disappointing

TheresaCameron, Mar 2024

Waste of money. I’ve done other city audio tours and this one was disappointing in comparison. Not much information regarding the history. Difficult to find each attraction.

Fun and informative

Anne_M, Sep 2023

Really enjoyed the self guided tour and scavenger hunt. Very relaxed and fun way to see the old town and learn more about the history of Colmar. Easy to book and use the App for the hunt. Loved that we could pause the hunt to explore show or eat along the way

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!

Great!

Regina_S, May 2023

Colmar is stunning! I love that place. Walking through the little streets with the scavenger hunt was a great experience.

Response from Host, May 2023

Many thanks for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!

Simply lovely

Maya_E, Apr 2023

The tour took us through the charming old town, past picturesque half-timbered houses, and canals... it was a delightful experience. We also enjoyed the quizzes and puzzles included in the app, which provided us with fantastic knowledge about the city. We definitely plan to use it again in another trip.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Many thanks for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!

AWESOME TOUR! YOU NEED TO DO IT!

Rita_C, Mar 2023

Went to Colmar with my boyfriend and had no idea that we would leave in love with this city thanks to Explorial. Definitely the best way to get to know a city! We will for sure using Explorial again.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Many thanks for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!

An amazing way to see Colmar!

Beatriz_P, Feb 2023

My boyfriend and I went on a trip to Colmar and while we were there we decided to make this trail and it was the best decision we could have made! It is an affordable experience, like a self-guided tour around the city! We got to see a lot of the city, all of the major landmarks, and learn about their history, just like a normal tour, but much more affordable and fun (because of all the challenges and photo tasks). We recommend trying this app while on vacation! 10/10 we loved it!

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Many thanks for such a fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon!

COLMAR playing!

Sofi_M, Aug 2025

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

Un SAV absent !!!

Karim_A, Oct 2024

ATTENTION lorsque vous réservez à ne pas faire d'erreur. Habitué du digital, je me suis malgré tout trompé d'une journée sur ma réservation. Je voulais réservez pour le jour J et finalement j'ai réservé pour le lendemain... J'ai compris qu'il ne fallait surtout pas compter sur le service client en cas de difficulté... Contraint par le temps pour trouver une visite alternative, j'ai acheté une seconde fois cette visite avec la bonne date. UN GRAND MERCI à VIATOR POUR SON ABSENCE TOTALE EN CAS DE BESOIN. Conclusion : n'ayez surtout pas de difficulté avec ce type de visite car vous n'aurez personne pour vous aider et VOTRE ARGENT SERA PERDUE !!!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Nichts für ueber 65

Inge_K, Sep 2024

Nichts für Leute über 65 Jahren. Die Stadt ist zu voll. Viele Touristen laufen nur ihrem Handy hinter her.

Stadträtsel

Kai_H, May 2024

App ist sehr gut 👍. Hat viel Spaß gemacht, auch wenn wir nicht sehr gut im Ratem waren. Eine sprachliche Begleitung hat uns allerdings gefehlt, was aber nicht gestört hat.

Vielen Dank für Ihre fantastische Bewertung! Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei Explorial in anderen Städten spielen zu sehen. Danke schön

Promenade agréable qui permet de voir les différents batiments très typique et chemins magnifiques hors circuit touristique.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Bonjour Marie, Merci beaucoup pour votre fantastique commentaire ! Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt jouer à Explorial dans d'autres villes.

Sehr Emphelenswert und, dieses Schnittel (-jagd) geht nicht auf die Hüften 😁👍)

Kenan_O, Mar 2024

Kurzweilig und Infomativ, locker wird man hier durch das herrliche Colmar geführt und erfährt nebenbei geschichtliches zu Colmar.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Lieber Kenan, vielen Dank für Seine Bewertung! Es freut uns, dass Sie es in anderen Städten wiederholen werden. Wir wünschen Ihnen eine fantastische Woche!

Emil_B, May 2023

Die Stadtführung war ein Hit bei unserer Familienreise! Die App war einfach zu bedienen und die Rätsel führten uns zu den interessantesten Orten. Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit zusammen.
