Trip to Carcassonne Disappointing
athena_e, Oct 2019
Our driver was pleasant, but he had poor use of the English language and was uninspiring and dull. We were extremely disappointed in comparison to our Gibraltar and Ville Franche experiences with Viator.
Aller-retour Carcassonne

Le transport a été rapide et professionnel, la voiture était très confortable. Il faut prévoir environ 10 Euros/personne pour accéder au château et aux remparts avec audio-guide.
Super!

Our excursion went very well with Roberto, who was very professional for our visit to Mont St Clair and the medieval city of Carcassonne.
I recommend it without hesitation

Our driver was great, picked us up on time. Prior to the arranged pick up time/location our driver texted me via WhatsApp, "Just to let you know- todays' drive to Carcassonne might take quite a long time because of traffic and the distance. If you prefer, we could visit a smaller, charming town that's much closer and still very enjoyable to explore. I'm happy to do whatever you prefer-just let me know what you feel like doing."
When he arrived, I told him our group of 6 still wanted to go to Carcassonne. We paid $1,196.30 for a tour that inluded bottled water, WIFI, Phone chargers (which were provided).He did not take us to the Phare du Mont Saint-Clair as indicated in the description of this trip (Entry/admission included). He took us to see a cross at a high point in Sete.
When we arrived at the Chateau et Remparts de la Cite de Carcassonne, I asked for the entry/admission tickets to see the site. He said the admission was free. Once inside the walled city, we attempted to enter the castle and were told we did not have paid entry. I texted our driver asking for help and included a screenshot of what we paid for. His reponse was:
" It seems there was a misunderstanding. You have booked a driver-guide, not a licensed tour guide. If you would like an audio guide or professional tour guide, please visit the Tourist Office, located at the entrance on the left-hand side. Thank you for your understanding."
Clearly paying $1,196.30 for six family members and not being able to see this walled city was truly disappointing, not to mention that he initially tried to dissuade us from going to Carcassonne and didn't even take us to see Phare du Mont Saint-Clair. We travelled from Colorado and Illinois to see this site in France.
I booked two tours through Viator because I had a great experience last fall when I visited the Lindt Chocolate Factory in Switzerland. Our Vatican City tour and guide were excellent. Disappointing is an understatement of how I felt about the Carcassonne tour because it was not a guided tour sadly.
I am requesting a full refund for this excursion.

Hello,
I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with our service, yet all the points were validated, the cross that you mentioned in your review was indeed Mont Saint Clair in the city of Sete, where you have a superb view of the harbor of the port of Sete, of which you took some wonderful photos, then the driver took you aboard a luxury Mercedes van with bottles of fresh water, wifi and phone chargers, to the medieval city of Carcassonne, which is 140 km away! Upon arrival in Carcassonne, as agreed, entry to the city is free. There are also private tour options that are not included in the tour...
I'm sorry once again that there was this misunderstanding.
But we did the job and it was pretty good, considering the tip you left the driver.
Kind regards,
Robert
