Très bel endroit vaut le detour, retour dans le moyen âge, vraiment à voir au moins 1 fois. On a juste l impression d être déconnecté de tout ...

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.
