5.00This tour using the TouringBee app starts across the river from the castle/fort at Carcassonne at the Musée des Beaux Arts which is definitely worth visiting. Then we are guided across the bridge and all around the walled Medieval fortress. It was great to fill in some historical, cultural and religious context. Those Crusaders certainly were ruthless!
Excellent audio guide, unbeatably cheap and good

5.00Travelled solo and enjoyed taking my time. The voiceover gave just enough detail — not boring, not too much. Highly recommended for independent explorers.
Historical informative tour, recommended

4.00We wanted to visit the castle because we have known the game for a long time and played it often. But just looking at old stones is not so funny. We chose this self-guided audio tour, paired our headphones and strolled through the city to the castle. The voice (German) was pleasant even though probably spoken of AI. The app itself for the tour worked well and showed you where you are (offline). Value for money (7€/pP) fit.
Good for solo
