What people are saying about Colmar

It was a very nice tour of Colmar, you passed all the important places. It was frustrating that we couldn't solve the last puzzle on site despite our experience. Some of these are not easy for beginners. Also at the first station we could see many changes in the picture, but we could only find out the right number by looking at it. After completing a station, a special text for the next station or something like that is always displayed, but you have to deselect it with the x in order to be able to select the route to the next station. For example, we could not understand why the text with the headless horses is displayed. Some of the solution aids were too easy, so that as a beginner you sometimes cannot find the solution and may give up in frustration. Aren't there any free or premium geocaches of this type in Colmar? In general, GetyourGuide in Colmar was a good experience.

A nice experience and a good way to explore the city. The challenge was a lot of fun for all fellow travelers. The app is well thought out.

It is such a great activity to enjoy with your kids ! To smell the hot chocolate and to see the steps to build your own choco :)

It has been a lot of fun, although we have taken it competitively and not as a city guide

Super fun and showed us all around the city in an interactive way. Learned a ton too!
