      Julien asked what we were interested in and we said History! Boy he knew the history of this walled town backwards and forwards! We learned so much while listening to his informative and humorous tales of Carcassonne. We enjoyed this walking tour very much and recommend it to everyone.

      Julien is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, personable and good fun. My only feedback woukd be to check the length of the tour. There was a mix up with that but not Julien’s fault. A great experience overall..

      Julian was wonderful; we missed our bus and he waited for us. We learned so much about the Cathars which is fascinating. He is an excellent story teller. He brought history alive for us.
      Excellent tour gude

      Julien brought 1000’s of years of history to life. Mesmerizing from start to finish. Can’t say enough good things.
      Worthwhile
      Holly_H, Jun 2022
      Julian was a knowledgeable and interesting guide. He was able to speak to both the adults and the child in our group which is a great skill to have.
      Visite privée passionnante et humoristique
      Loic_Z, Jul 2022
      Visite vraiment privée, nous étions uniquement notre famille de 6, loin de la foule, des commerces de la cité et du tourisme, mêlant histoire et humour distillé par Julien. On ne voit pas le temps passer en s’empreignant de l’histoire et des légendes du sites. Voir des vielles pierres c’est bien, les comprendre c’est mieux. Merci beaucoup pour ce bon moment
      Response from Host, Sep 2022
      Merci à vous et je suis bien d'accords comprendre un site c'est un vrai plus quand on visite.

      Genial! Tuvimos mucha suerte al visitar Carcassonne en un día con "pocos" turistas. Nuestro guía Julien se encargó de contarnos la historia de la ciudad y resolver todas nuestras dudas. Sin duda, repetiriamos
