Colmar 2H Walking Tour with little Venice Boat Cruise

About this experience

This experience combines two ways of discovering Colmar in one seamless visit. Start with a guided walk through the Old Town led by a local expert who brings the city’s history, architecture, and legends to life as you explore its charming streets and famous landmarks. Then see the city from a completely different perspective on a 25-minute canal cruise through Petite Venise, aboard a traditional flat-bottomed Alsatian barque. With multilingual commentary on board, you’ll learn more about Colmar while gliding past picturesque houses and quiet waterways. The tour is designed for comfort and convenience, with space for strollers and even companion pets welcome on the cruise.
