Additional Information

Carcassonne, a fortified ancient city in Languedoc, is globally celebrated for its impressive medieval fortifications. In 1997, it was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Embark on a customized 2-hour private walking tour, designed according to your preferences and timings, focusing only on the attractions you wish to view. Dive into the ancient architecture, learn about the deep-rooted culture that has intrigued famous wordsmiths like William Faulkner.

The city is bifurcated into two sections; the townsfolk area and the much-acclaimed Cité de Carcassonne. While the emphasis is usually laid more on the Cité, the journey can be modified to include the town based on your liking.

Get a chance to survey the castle’s exterior and ramparts located at the core of the medieval city; examine the Cathedral and the Basilica of Saint Nazaire (entry not permitted); and marvel at La Porte Narbonnaise, the primary gateway to the Cité.

Positioned as a destination that evokes enchantment and has a romantic aura, the tour is carefully curated to captivate your imagination.

Excellent experience - 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!

Wonderful tour! - 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.

Great tour, expensive - Jaqueline did a wonderful job of telling the story of Carcassone cite, making it humorous and exciting for our kids. She is unique and fun and I would recommend her for this tour! There were a couple of issues, however- on the Viator end of things. First of all, the directions and address for our meeting spot were not correct or clear. This made us over 30 min late and had to pay for a taxi. Also, I learned that Jaqueline only gets paid $150 for the tour, while we paid $400!. Shame on you Viator, for not passing the profits on to those doing the work. We won’t book with Viator again.

Completely missed your bc address doesn’t exist - We arrived in Carcasonne 2 hours early. Using the address given our map took us to a residential neighborhood. We walked all the way back to town & asked multiple people for directions, but no one seemed to know where this meeting spot was. We tried calling but the call wouldn’t go thru. So we spent our day looking for the meeting spot provided & finally gave up at 4pm.
