Loved the app! Full of information, which will be helpful as a reminder of my visit. The app may be for 1 1/2 hours, but after taking photos and taking my time, it lasted 3 days. I often strayed from the map out of curiosity or stopped at a museum. The app was easy to download, the instructions from Viator and follow up were excellent as if we had a live guide planning with us.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for such a lovely and detailed review! We’re delighted that the audio guide fit so naturally into your visit to Colmar and gave you the freedom to explore at your own pace — whether that meant lingering for photos, wandering off the route out of curiosity, or spending extra time in museums. That flexibility is exactly what TouringBee audio guides are designed for.
It’s great to hear the app was easy to use and that the instructions felt. We truly hope TouringBee will be your choice again on your next trips, helping you rediscover cities in your own rhythm and style.

This audio guide is really great, it made touring the beautiful cobblestone streets of Colmar very exciting and unforgettable. The narration was clear, entertaining and with touches of humor that made the tour even more enjoyable. Thanks to the audio guide I discovered many representative details of the city that I may have missed and even learned that Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty, was born here.
The app is super easy to use, has an intuitive design, and the best part: you can listen to the stories even offline.
Plus, I was able to explore at my own pace, stop to take photos, and then continue on without missing a thing. I totally recommend this experience to anyone visiting Colmar.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled that the audio guide helped make your walk through Colmar both exciting and memorable — it's a city full of charm, and we love sharing stories like the one about Bartholdi. Delighted to hear you enjoyed the flexibility, humor, and offline ease too. Hope we can join you again on your next trip!

Great experience. We liked the stories and that we can do this tour in our own pace. In the app we had the map, Gps navigation and photos and audio descriptions of the places. I especially like that on this way we don't need to contact guide or somebody. Really very well done
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for the great feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the stories and the freedom of exploring at your own pace. That’s exactly what we aim for — a smooth, independent experience with everything you need right in the app. Hope you’ll join us on another walk in a new city soon!

Once downloaded, easy to follow and great history and stories of Colmar. I would plan on more than 90 minutes, especially if you make stops along the way.
Response from Host, May 2025
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the guide and the stories about Colmar! 😊 You're absolutely right — with such a charming town, it's easy to linger and take your time. Planning for a bit more than 90 minutes is a great tip for future travelers. Hope to guide you again soon in another beautiful destination! 🌍🧳✈️

The GPS location is not very precise; it is necessary to locate yourself with Google Maps or another service to find your way.
Otherwise, the reviews are very good

Response from Host, Jul 2026
Nous sommes heureux que les commentaires de l’audioguide TouringBee pour Colmar vous aient plu.
Nous sommes désolés que la localisation GPS n’ait pas toujours été aussi précise qu’on l’aurait souhaité. Dans les petites rues historiques, le signal peut parfois se comporter comme s’il faisait lui aussi une visite libre de Colmar, au lieu de rester sagement sur l’itinéraire. Dans ce cas, Google Maps peut en effet être un bon compagnon de secours pour se repérer plus facilement.
Nous espérons que votre prochaine expérience avec TouringBee, dans une autre ville, se déroulera de façon plus fluide — et méritera peut-être une note encore plus élevée.

Informative and varied city tour. Good tour even through small alleys and to beautiful places.

Vielen Dank für Ihre schöne Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen der Stadtrundgang durch Colmar mit TouringBee informativ und abwechslungsreich gefallen hat.
Gerade die kleinen Gassen und hübschen Plätze machen Colmar so besonders — umso schöner, wenn die Audioguide-Route Sie gut durch diese Ecken geführt hat.
Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Sie TouringBee auch bei Ihrer nächsten Reise wieder mitnehmen — vielleicht in einer anderen Stadt mit genauso viel Charme.
Nicole_G, May 2026
The tour was indicated to last about 1.5 hours. However, we took much longer for it! Many explanations for over 22 destinations with photo stops in between simply required more time! We were thrilled and did not expect so much detailed information! For this price, it is incredibly affordable and flexible!
Tip: Take the tour in the afternoon instead. Because apparently many people had the idea to start in the morning. Thus, there were always a lot of people in the pictures at the sights!

Ben we visit the most beautiful sites of Colmar with his phone and a charming gentleman who tells us the story at every stop.
So on the other hand intended for a public that has screwed up notion phone loll... the application is well

Ravis que la visite vous ait permis de découvrir les plus beaux sites de Colmar en compagnie de ce « charmant monsieur » dans vos écouteurs 😊 Nous sommes heureux que l’application vous ait plu et que l’expérience ait été à la hauteur.
Nous espérons que vous choisirez de nouveau les audioguides TouringBee lors de vos prochains voyages pour explorer d’autres villes avec la même liberté.

Clear, understandable descriptions and interesting background information. All important objects and sights including places you wouldn't have noticed without the guide.

Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen der TouringBee-Audioguide für Kolmar gefallen hat!
Es freut uns zu hören, dass Ihnen die klaren Erklärungen, die interessanten Hintergrundinformationen und die vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten gefallen haben.
Wir hoffen, Sie bald auf einer weiteren TouringBee-Audioführung in einer neuen Stadt begleiten zu dürfen!

Very disappointing experience! Indeed, we had to pay on the Viator app €6.99 but we also had to download the Touring Bee app and repay €9.99, for a disappointing guided tour, omitting some of Colmar’s must-sees! (Manneken Pis de Colmar, old customs, canals of little Venice etc.) In short expensive and very incomplete.

Response from Host, Jun 2025
Nous regrettons que votre expérience n'ait pas répondu à vos attentes. Cependant, nous tenons à préciser que l'excursion comprend tous les lieux mentionnés dans votre commentaire : l'ancienne douane, les canaux de la Petite Venise et de nombreux autres sites emblématiques de Colmar. Seule la statue du Manneken-Pis n'était pas incluse, car elle est généralement considérée comme une attraction secondaire et non comme un site historique incontournable.
En ce qui concerne le paiement, si vous avez acheté votre visite via Viator, aucun paiement supplémentaire n'est requis dans l'application TouringBee. Il vous suffit d'activer l'audioguide en suivant les instructions qui vous ont été envoyées par e-mail immédiatement après votre achat. Si l'audioguide est activé conformément aux instructions, aucun paiement supplémentaire ne sera facturé.
Nous espérons que vous aurez l'occasion de redécouvrir Colmar, de le voir d'un nouvel œil et à votre rythme.

There is no one at the “meeting place” and the applique is complicated to install, we did not make it. The help is non-existent and at the tourist information they had no idea what kind of tour this is! Cheap but purely thrown out money!

Wir bedauern sehr, dass Sie einen so unangenehmen Eindruck gewonnen haben. Zur Erklärung: TouringBee ist ein digitaler Audioguide, der über unsere App genutzt wird – es gibt weder einen Treffpunkt noch einen Ansprechpartner vor Ort. Nach dem Kauf haben Sie eine E-Mail mit einer einfachen zweistufigen Anleitung erhalten: Laden Sie die App herunter und aktivieren Sie den Audioguide mit dem Code.
Die Tour wurde speziell unabhängig von touristischen Informationen oder Gruppen organisiert, damit Sie flexibel und in Ihrem eigenen Tempo reisen können.
Schreiben Sie uns an support@touringbee.com – unser Team wird Ihnen schnell und zuverlässig weiterhelfen. Wir hoffen, dass Sie Ihre Tour noch nutzen können, da sie das ganze Jahr über gültig ist.

Die Idee ist gut, aber die Karte ist wirklich schwierig zu benutzen. Wir haben uns so oft im Kreis gedreht oder sind in die falsche Richtung gelaufen, dass wir es am Ende aufgegeben haben. Schade, wir hatten uns wirklich gefreut, aber es war dann einfach zu mühsam immer wieder den richtigen Weg zu finden.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Es tut uns leid, dass eure Erfahrung mit der Karte so frustrierend war. Wichtig zu wissen: Unsere App verfügt über GPS-Navigation, wenn die Standortfreigabe aktiviert ist. Damit kann man auf der Karte sehen, wo man sich gerade befindet – das hilft besonders in verwinkelten Altstädten oder wenn die Orientierung schwerfällt.
Wir würden uns freuen, wenn ihr dem Audioguide vielleicht bei einer anderen Gelegenheit nochmal eine Chance gebt – die Inhalte stehen euch ein ganzes Jahr nach dem Kauf zur Verfügung.
