5.00The guide Marion was very nice and knowledgeable and she added a great deal to the experience. She gave significant historical context and explained various interesting architectural details. English is not her native language so there were mild difficulties at times but not bad.

The missed walking tour of Carcassonne

2.00We were scheduled to go on a walking tour of Carcassonne, which was a fairly expensive guided tour. The day before the tour an email was sent to us changing the meeting point for the tour. (The published meeting point was only a few minutes from our hotel and we planned accordingly) Unfortunately, we did not see the email until mid way through breakfast the morning of the tour, which didn't leave sufficient time to rendezvou at the new meeting point. We therefore missed the tour. When we returned to Canada we tried to obtain a refund and were refused. Even though the tour guide changed the meeting point and was unable to contact us on a timely basis we were not compensated for the miscommunication.
Amazing! Book a 90 minute or 2 hour trip. One hour leaves you yearning for more!

5.00Great walking tour. The hour absolutely flew past as we walked through the picturesque castle and our guide immersed us with historical info in a very easy to understand and engage with way. My only regret is I didn’t book a longer tour!
