Overview

The walled city of Carcassonne in Languedoc is world renowned as a spectacular fortified medieval city. The city fortress was consecrated in 1997 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take a 2-hour private walking tour, personalized to your own schedule and rhythm, visiting the sights you would like. Explore medieval architecture and discover the rich culture that has inspired poets and writers, including William Faulkner. The city is divided into 2 parts; the town and the famous Cité de Carcassonne. Typically we pay more attention to the Cité, but if you would like to visit the town the tour can be customized to suit. Discover the exterior of the castle and ramparts at the heart of the medieval city; explore the Cathedral and the Basilica of Saint Nazaire (no entrance); and admire la porte Narbonnaise, which was the principal entrance to the Cité. A dream like destination with a romantic ambience, the tour is tailor-made to enchant you.

Gwendoline was very knowledgeable and brought a lot of personality to the tour. She did a great job of engaging my three daughters (14, 12 and 10). I highly recommend!

Jacqueline was introduced as the best tour guide in Carcassonne and I'd have to agree! Super knowledgeable about the history of Carcassonne and took us on a lovely walking tour of the castle. I'd recommend doing some reading ahead of time so you have questions or go with a larger group to get more out of it.
