Only worrh it if can get one hour alone time in village
Katharina_S, Oct 2025
Just make sure you know that you don't get inside the castle at all. There is no time to walk on the rampparts either. You get a little time to walk through the village with the guide and take a few pictures. Out alone time was cut short because we were waiting for another person to show up for at least twenty minutes! Then when we were supposed to have an hour on our own to explore this was cut down to half an hour!! We should not have been punished for another guest, not showing up on time. We were all very disappointed and especially me ,since I've always ever wanted to go to Carcassonne ,and because I won't be back to France again☹️
Responses from CaroleOphorus
Bonjour,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience was disappointing. Please note that the program for this tour focuses on the following highlights:
The Ramparts: Walk along the fortified walls for incredible views of the surrounding landscape.
Saint-Nazaire Basilica: Admire its stunning stained-glass windows, dating back to the Middle Ages.
Charming Streets: Wander through narrow alleys filled with quaint shops and discover the hidden gems of the old town.
The tour does not include entering the castle itself, and we apologize if this was unclear. We also regret the delay caused by another guest, and we appreciate your understanding.
Kind regards,
Jeanne from the Ophorus Team

Found it informative, convenient and relaxing tour from Toulouse to Carcassone. Trip was quick but we were able to tour the entire walled city.
I liked it very much

It was very interesting and pretty... Suggestion... Wear warm clothes, cause it's very windy out there. Wish we had a little more time inside... Had only enough time to have a scoop of ice cream and check some souvenir shops.
