We tried something new and different ! It was great! So fun. Now we are colmar experts. It was a fun challenge like being on the Amazing Race!
Susan_R, Sep 2024
We loved the surprises, interesting information and easy to follow instructions. The gifts were a great idea and so much fun! The little man adorning the archway hiding a secret, the support pillar for measuring whether the city officials are getting too fat - spiced up the commentary and kept us entertained.

I loved being able to go at our own pace and pop into stores or museums if we feel like it. With live guided tours you can’t do that. We also loved the prizes and the interesting facts and details. The voice was very clear, easy to understand and I liked being able to read it as well. The owner communicated with me via WhatsApp and gave me great suggestions for parking. We loved it so much we used the same app for Strasbourg the next day.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank your very much Clinton! Glad that you enjoyed the flexibility that it gives!

autonomy to wander around the city for learn history and legends. It's a greats experiance with the beautiful presents and a good idea for children.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you very much Rossella!

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!
Laura_F, Dec 2022
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.
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Hello! Thanks for your comment.
As audio was a most demanded feature, we worked hard to provide audio commentary. The update has just been released and audio is now available in Colmar as well as in Strasbourg.
Kind regards

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.
Response from Host, May 2022
Thank you so much Francis
We are glad that you enjoyed the tour!
Ameya_P, Dec 2021
Great adventure. Host was kind enough to wait for us beyond office hours despite holiday season in Colmar

I really cannot say enough good things about this tour! We booked a last-minute weekend getaway to Colmar and I didn't have a chance to do all the research I would normally do before a trip. Luckily, I found this tour, and they did all the hard work and research so that I didn't have to. This was such a fun way to explore the city and a unique way to get the kids involved and interested, which, let's be honest, can be a struggle when traveling at times. They loved opening the gifts at just the right moment and they loved the quizzes. The app and instructions were REALLY well done and extremely clear. Also Georges, the creator of the tour, was super friendly and said we could contact him at any moment during the tour if we had a problem. Since everything was explained so well, we didn't have to, but it was nice to feel like we could and that we wouldn't be "bothering" anyone. Highly recommend this to anyone as a wonderful way to discover Colmar!

I can't say enough good things about this tour and its creator, Georges. It was well-worth the money, and I hope that Georges adds more locations soon! Sometimes it's tough to find trips that are keep the whole family interested. COVID and other things have made travel planning even harder lately. We arrived in Colmar to find that the boat tour and the museum we were planning on going to were both closed/cancelled for the duration of our time in Colmar. We heard about this tour and the Hopla Guide from a travel Facebook page and decided to give it a try. It kept us (and our 5-year old) entertained for 2 days, as we took our time and walked around the city. The little gifts kept our son excited. With each one he'd open, he'd say, "How did they know I'd LOVE this?" Hahaha! He walked and walked all over Colmar and didn't seem to get tired once because the promise of another gift to open "just around the corner" held his interest and kept him going. We also learned way more about the city than we would've had we tried to do this on our own with a book or map. The interactive app was really fun. I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun way to see the city!
Response from Host, Sep 2021
Thank you for your kind review! We are happy that you had a nice time with your family.
We designed the tour as a complete cultural/historical experience that could also be share and enjoyed between parents and kids. The fact that your son had a nice time and that he remained entertained during the all experience means a lot to us!
David_L, Aug 2021
Such a fun experience and loved getting to know Colmar through this tour! Super well done, easy to follow and the surprise gifts are really nice keepsakes!! The most fun walking tour we’ve done.
BaileySchmitt, Aug 2021
Our experience with the interactive tour in colmar was so cool. We had 3 tired children but since we could go to the sites on our own time we got through all of the stops. You get to navigate your own way through colmar and you get 6 cool gifts to open during your tour. Pretty easy navigation and the information and history on colmar was awesome. And the interactive games were enjoyed by my children.
Ioanna_T, Aug 2021
My partner and I did this tour of Colmar after having done multiple other "riddle" tour all over Europe. We felt this was the best one we did so far! The level of detail and info about the town was just right, and opening our presents along the way was such a nice touch!
Judith_M, Nov 2025
Very cool and informative city tour, but the backpack can definitely be dispensed with.

Self-guided tour, allowing to deepen the discovery, take the time to stop. The little quizzes have a lot of fun and the surprises are nice. Each participant benefits from the audio guide on their phone.

Well thought-out tour, understandable and entertaining. A city tour of a different kind. Would do it again anytime. And let's not forget the goodies. Are great surprises we didn't expect to see.

A los niños les encanta encontrar símbolos propuestos y abrir recompensas. Muy graciosas y un buen recuerdo de Colmar.
Gerhard_L, May 2023
Man erlebt viele beeindruckende Details der Altstadt Colmars mit wichtigem und interessantem Hintergrundwissen. Leider war das Erlebnis durch zahlreiche Baustellen ziemlich gestört. (Update?)
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Es ist tatsächlich eine Zeit der Bauarbeiten und es ist schwierig für uns, Blockaden vorherzusehen. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten, aber wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen der Besuch gefallen hat.
JosFermn_R, Jul 2022
Una forma original de visitar los lugares más emblemáticos de Colmar. Íbamos con 4 niños y es un buen modo de que presten atención a los sitios más llamativos. Sí es verdad que podía ser un poquito más barato, pero recibes unos regalitos muy originales.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Muchas gracias José por tu comentario. Nos alegra saber que han pasado un buen momento en familia. Los regalos los hemos seleccionado con atención para que puedan llevarse una linda representación de Alsacia a sus casas !
Cordialmente
Magda_L, May 2022
Ich habe gut gefunden aber ich würde ein kleinen Beschreibung hinführen wie soll man den App benützen, mir war nicht alles klar
Philippe_M, Nov 2021
Magique, surprenant, très riche en renseignements.
Une très belle aventure en famille.
Dommage que les musées sur notre parcours ainsi que la collégiale étaient fermés.
Response from Host, Nov 2021
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis Philippe. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez passé un bon moment en famille !
Viviane_L, Aug 2021
Application très bien faite (guide clair, quiz agrémentant bien l’expérience)
Flexibilité dans la visite (possibilité de s’arrêter et de reprendre) très agréable - on se sent vraiment libre d’aller à son rythme et de flâner sinon veut
Surprises donnant un peu de piment
