The Experience

The tour starts when you download the TouringBee app to your phone and activate your purchase. The app gives you an offline map with the walking route marked, so you don't need a data connection once you've loaded it. A professional historian narrates 27 recordings timed to the landmarks you pass—the Pfister House with its octagonal turret and biblical murals, the Old Customs House with its 15th-century tiled roof, the Dominican Church and its stained glass, St. Martin's Church rising above the old town. Each stop has an illustration to help you spot the building, and the audio plays through your headphones at whatever volume and pace you choose.

The route leads you through the heart of the old town and ends in Little Venice, the neighborhood of canals and half-timbered houses that gives the tour its anchor. You'll walk past the Schwendi Fountain, the Hansi Museum, the House of Heads with its 100 sculpted faces, and the Covered Market along the Lauch River. The whole loop takes about 1.5 hours if you move steadily, but the app doesn't rush you—pause at a café, linger at a bridge, skip a recording if you want. The streets are all walkable for any fitness level, and there are no entry fees; you're walking public streets and looking at exteriors unless you choose to pay separately for a museum.

You'll need your own smartphone and headphones; the app works on iOS and Android. Once you've downloaded it and activated your purchase code at checkout, you can use the tour anytime during the year you own it. Public transportation is nearby if you need to reach the starting point, and the date and time you select at checkout are approximate—the tour is yours to take whenever you arrive in Colmar.
