Colmar Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

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.

Starting at the Parc du Champ de Mars on Avenue de la République, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and stroll into the old town. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. Place Rapp opens the hunt beneath the statue of Napoleon's General Rapp, a local boy made good — or at least made bronze. Riddles brief you on his exploits. Then La Petite Venise takes over: flower-draped canals, fishermen's cottages and reflections that fill camera rolls. The photo task here is almost unfair. At the Place de l'Ancienne Douane, trivia unpacks the Koïfhus, the old customs house where Alsatian merchants weighed goods and settled scores. Around two hours through a town that inspired fairy-tale illustrators. The leaderboard names the fairest of them all.
