5.00Superb tour. Really recommend. Julien was a great tour guide - very knowledgeable and friendly. We all learnt a lot and enjoyed firing crossbows at the end!
Loved our experience with Julian!

5.00Julian was amazing! Not only informative but a great storyteller too. He had our two grandkids enthralled the entire time and they loved the little target practice at the end. Plus, there is plenty of historical info about Carcassonne for the adults, too. Merci beaucoup, Julian!
Great tour. Very...

5.00Great tour. Very knowledgeable of the real history with some fun stories that might not be literally true but add some flavor to the narrative. Shooting the crossbow was fun!
Very good service,...

5.00Our Knight was fantastic giving us lots of history and fun stories and myths over the centuries. He was able to answer all our history questions and also let us try using the crossbow.
A must do with kids!

5.00I would 100% recommend this tour with a Knight. He was on time, professional, had many stories to keep the kids engaged and my husband with tons of facts and answered all of our questions. Loved the end where he let the kids sword fight and shot arrows. Very very cool way to explore Carcassonne for an hour. Great job and promise it won’t disappoint. My 9, 7, and 5 year old are still talking about it.
A fine visit.

5.00It was all very good, and "our knight" explained very well how and why the fortifications around Carcassonne were made. The best part was when we had the chance to Shoot with an arch-bow. The guide was very patient and explained first in english, then in easy French, as I had asked for. I went with a garmmarschool class but cannot choose that option later in this review.
Super experience for young and old!

5.00We received a very interesting tour in which both young and old learned a lot. Our kids were also super excited about the crossbow shooting and sword fighting at the end. Highly recommended!

5.00We worked with Julien to schedule 3 private tours of Cite de Carcassonne for our group of 50. With Julien, Gwen and Anna as our guides, the tour did not disappoint. Our guides were in period costumes and did a wonderful job blending history and entertaining information to make the tour both fun and informative. We wrapped up the tours getting to try some sword work which was entertaining for everyone. Thank you for providing our guests such a great tour.
A wonderful tour!

5.00This was such a lovely part of our trip to Carcassonne, and we would highly recommend it to any family seeking a private tour. We have 3 children - 9, 6, and 2... Our friendly knight adapted and adjusted his tour perfectly to suit our family. He was super kind to the children, and really focused on their interests and questions, which was what we wanted. He kept them not only interested but entertained throughout. They were fascinated by it. He was very knowledgable and able to answer all their questions, and ours. I agree with the other review that he took care to keep us in the shade on the hot afternoon that we had our tour. Highly highly recommended!
