Amazing guide who told an interesting story and history
Lynne_M, Aug 2024
Anna was a fabulous story teller and would be good for both adults and families. She was recommended by others who took her tour the week before and she did not disappoint. She was one of the best guides I've had around the world. Highly recommend. We had a group of 5 - perfect.

Anna provided a most insightful tour of Carrcassone! She was extremely knowledgeable and shared the history of the walled city in a most engaging way. She was enthusiastic and energetic on a very hot afternoon. I highly recommend this tour with Anna.

Private tour of Carcassonne
slopebrooklyn, Jul 2024
My husband and I had an excellent private tour of Carcassonne with Anna. We walked around the old city and learned all about the history of the area, and toured the inside of the castle and the ramparts. It was interesting, informative, and great fun. Anna was very friendly and enthusiastic and we very much enjoyed spending time with her. We had been skeptical about visiting such a busy tourist destination (which we visited as a day trip from Toulouse), but Anna directed the tour in a way that we hardly noticed other tourists. Great destination, great tour, and a really wonderful guide!
