    Best way to learn the city's history
    Margaret_M, Feb 2024
    This was a lovely tour. We'd done the audio tours in the castle, but the information provided by our guide was far more comprehensive and enlightening. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to know the vast history of the city and surrounding area.
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Thank you so much.
    Nice Tour with Knowledgeable Guide.

    Good Tour with knowledgeable guide. We walked a lot of the outside walls and some of the town inside.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Thank you. Best regards
    Wonderful guide and wonderful tour
    Mariel_R, Sep 2023
    Anna was a great guide. There are so many small architectural and historical details about La Cite that absolutely necessitates a tour. We learned so much and had a lot of fun. Anna was also great with our 8 year old boy. Very interactive. Definitely worth it.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Thank you so much. Always a pleasure. Best regards
    Great introduction to historic Carcassonne
    Kevin_M, Sep 2023
    Thoroughly enjoyed hearing the history of Carcassonne from the 3rd Century AD right through to renovation in the 19th century, as well as the history of the whole region through the ages. Information was delivered during a gentle 90 minute stroll around much of the walls and streets of the city. Our guide, Remi, even gave us some information on what had gone on here in World War II. A very good introduction to the City of Carcassonne.
    Response from Host, Sep 2023
    Thank you for your message. I will forward your comments to my colleague Rémi. Best regards Anna
    A Magical Hilltop Town both during the day and at night.

    Private Tour with an English Speaking Guide in Carcassonne. The guide shared some history of Carcassonne as well as covering most all of the buildings inside the walled town. It is a magical old town on top of a hill.
    Response from Host, Jul 2023
    Thank you , it is always a pleasure. Best regards. Anna

    Great tour and brilliant guide.
    Ben_J, May 2023
    The guide, Anne, was lovely. Very knowledgeable as you'd expect but witty too. She held our attention throughout the 90 minute tour asking us lots of questions about what we knew of certain historic events (we did OK!). Would definitely recommend.
    Response from Host, May 2023
    Thank you so much. It is always a pleasure to explain Carcassonne's history. Best regards. Anna
    Fantastic to have a knowledgeable guide
    James_N, Apr 2023
    This was so informative and Anna was an absolute joy. She was entertaining and pleasant. Highly, highly recommend this tour as appears to walking the Cite by yourself.
    Response from Host, Apr 2023
    Thank you so much. It was a pleasure to welcome you in Carcassonne. Best regards. Anna
