This is charming fun story developed by our very well informed guide. He used the evidence in the walls of Carcassonne to illustrate the story of its different purposes and many different rulers.

Our guide was a delightful young woman. She knew her history of the Medieval City. Were most impressed with how she moved us through the citadel and ended our tour at a very scenic overlook.

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.

Always seduced by this beautiful city. We went there this year as part of the festival. I did not give four stars because this year there are many scaffolding for the repair of the ramparts and it does not facilitate shooting. This year the city is pleasant under the sun because it is not too hot, but watch out for the wind. The visit of the castle is interesting.
