Carcassonne cite

Gary_v, Dec 2024

Great tour! Lydia was very pleasant, knowledgeable, spoke good English and was easy to be with. We learned a lot about the history of Carcassonne and the area. Highly recommend this tour and her as a tour guide.

It's always sunny in Carcassonne...unless it's raining!

It was chilly and drizzly but Olivia did her best to make us forget the weather as she shared the fascinating history of Carcassonne with our little group.

Carcassonne is unmissable and Remi was a great guide . Would definitely recommend this trip . Make sure you see the castle and walk the ramparts .

A wonderful experience

We had a very informative tour with Olivia. The wind was fierce, but that did not detract from our experience. We are from Australia, and never have we encountered buildings so ancient with so much history.

Perfect for us.

An excellently knowledgeable guide. We gained historical perspective with every discovery. Our family had a wonderful time.
