While there were cheaper tour options available, we (my wife and 15 year old daughter) were only in Carcassonne for a short time and wanted to ensure that we learned as much as possible about this beautiful city. We are so happy that we decided to book this tour. Julien was amazing. His stories very good at keeping all of us engaged with historic details and humorous stories.

Julian was an amazing guide - super knowledgeable and engaging! The castle is beautiful and views were breathtaking, but hearing all the history behind it was the best part. Highly recommend this tour!!

A very enjoyable private walking tour of Carcassonne
Pioggiola, Apr 2024
We did a 3-hour tour of the city of Carcassonne, including the castle, with Julien. Carcassonne is a very impressive place to visit but you really need a tour guide for the medieval city to come back to life. Julien was able to do exactly that, through this great knowledge of local history and a lot of very interesting anecdotes. His tour is also cleverly set up to see all interesting places in Carcassonne while avoiding the very crowded narrow streets in the center, hence making the tour a more relaxed and pleasant experience. Highly recommended
