Overview
Take a trip to Colmar on your France Vacation
Nestled among world-class Alsatian vineyards at the foothills of the Vosges Mountains lies one of France’s most enchanting towns. Wind your way along Colmar’s cobbled streets and immerse yourself in the town’s authentic medieval charm as you explore colourful medieval houses, tranquil canals, and splendid museums.
Known as the Most Alsatian City of Alsace, Colmar is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architectural heritage, Alsatian wine production, and unique blend of French and German cultures. Colmar is a popular tourist destination thanks to its location along the Alsace Wine Route, offering excellent wine-tasting experiences in the heart of northeastern France.
Among its many attractions are the canals of La Petite Venise (Little Venice), the Bartholdi Museum dedicated to Frédéric Bartholdi, the creator of New York’s iconic Statue of Liberty, and the Unterlinden Museum, showcasing ancient and modern art encompassing 7,000 years of history within a beautiful 13-century convent.

What I love about France is its deep history and how the French truly embrace their motto of liberty, equality, and fraternity
Paris is best explored on foot. Wander beyond the core and into local neighbourhoods for an authentic experience.
My first time in France was unforgettable. The culture, the food, and the atmosphere made me fall in love with the country

Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David KleinWe had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthyElise created a fantastic trip to South Africa. Our experience could not have been better. Thank You so Much!!Dave McVayOur trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best).
Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly. So from our airport pickup to our last day in Tokyo everything ran very smoothly so we have used Goway before and will certainly use it again and reccommend Goway to others.JWWe had a great experience with Goaway travel our travel agent,FARNAZ. was very helpful and patient with us in planning our vacation to Greece.

AmyWe have used Goway Travel for previous trips and have been very happy with their excellent service. Our last trip to New Zealand and Australia was no exception. Our agent, Lori Mazzono, got tuned into the sort of trip we were hoping to have immediately. The various booking she provided were, without exception, exceptional and exactly what we envisioned, We really don't think we would have changed anything. tBruce Belshaw
