Summary: Was trying to think of something to do so that we could really appreciate the beautiful city of Colmar and NOT just wander around aimlessly. This app and tour was so interesting and very easy to use. We absolutely loved our time learning about Colmar and would thoroughly recommend this app. We're driving around 11 European countries this month and will now look up this app at any opportunity to discover a new city in a new country.
