Highly recommended wine tasting.
I can highly recommend this local wine collective. Excellent regionally produced wines, very good value, in a beautiful setting.
We chose the 9 wine course (a choice of 3 whites, roses, reds) with an accompanying charcuterie which was excellent value at €30.
Our host (Anna) was hospitable, knowledgeable and is fluent in English (helpful as my French is poor!).

A Must Do
Amazing and very interesting historic monument.

Wear walking footwear.

Excellent tour guide and tour
Met tour guide right outside the main entrance. He contacted us using WhatsApp and easily shared his location with us so we had no difficulty meeting up. Once within Carcasonne, we were given a personal and 1:1 tour experience. Seeing how everyone around us was walking around we were very happy to have an expert guide. He even took us to new Carcasonne which typical tourists dont see on their own. Would recommend!

Carcassonne During World War 2jesperl229, Jul 2026
Outstanding WWII Tour
A superb 10/10 guided walking tour of Carcassonne focusing on the city during World War II. Poul is an exceptionally engaging guide with an impressive depth of knowledge and a remarkable ability to bring history to life. Throughout the tour, he made it easy to picture the events, people and atmosphere of the time.Poul created a warm and friendly atmosphere and involved the entire group. The tour is perfect for adults and young people, and would certainly also work very well for school groups and upper secondary classes.Poul is an outstanding storyteller and guide. We have already recommended the tour to friends and family.

Carcassonne During World War 2Thomas_B, Jul 2026
Les Années Noires brought to life.
The walking tour around the centre of Carcassonne - the Bastide Saint-Louis not the Cité Médiévale - vividly brought to life some of the experiences of the citizens of Carcassonne during the Second World War. Illustrated by fascinating archive photographs the tour will appeal to anyone interested in France during ‘Les années noires’. Paul is a lively and engaging guide. Thank you, Paul !

Gourmet wine tastings with charcuterie and cheese - NOT to be missed
What a fantastic experience and fabulous value for money.
As it turned out we were the only 2 for our booking, so it was our own private wine tasting with the lovely Alicia.
We tasted 3 whites, 3 rose and red 3 red wines. All delicious and local to the region.
We had to choose which 3 wines for each colour from a selection of 5 which Alicia explained to us. We could thus taste wines which we preferred eg dry or fruity or lighter or more robust,
All of this was accompanied by a superb plate of local cheeses and charcuterie with fresh crusty bread.
Alicia was personable and knowledgeable and the wines and food top notch .
We cannot recommend it enough

Fantastic castle
We didn't use a guide, but rather researched first and looked after ourselves. What an amazing place. We walked up to the back entrance and into the small streets. There are plenty of places to eat, have a coffee or shops to be a tourist in.This castle has a large church inside thew walls as well as the keep area.

Excellent Tour. Informative, friendly, and memorable.
Gert is a outstanding guide. He has extensive knowledge of the Cite and it’s history. Very knowledgible of the the local Area. An extremely pleasent personality. There is no walking the Rampart (Castle Walls) with this tour. Don’t worry about that as the tour around the Cite at base level is very educational. You can do it later for 19 Euros. Gert also walked us across a historical bridge to the other city center. We were so glad we went there too. If not for Gert and going there, we would have just stayed in the Medievel Cite area. Just be prepared to do some walking both up and down some inclines. I highly recommend this Tour.

The Middle Ages revive as Carcas sonne.
Very nice walk. The accompanying tests make the city come alive. The different locations are easy to find with the attached map and texts.

Had fun exploring the city and found some nice places what I wouldn't encounter otherwise. The statue at the first stop was missing though, however the riddle wasn't hard to solve. :)

Great walking tour of the historic medieval town of Carcassonne. Great way to burn off calories from the wonderful dinner of the previous evening. Wear supportive walking shoes.

Carcassonne ‘s Medieval Walls: A Self-Guided Audio Tourblanc49, May 2026
Unmissable…
After some hesitation, we chose to take this "excursion". Do not hesitate… it is interesting and fascinating. The commentary explains the history of the city well. It is also a good walking exercise. Security is ever-present and reassuring.

Vintage Solex EN ride in CarcassonnelisacH7500ZD, May 2026
Great fun
Would highly recommend this tour if visiting Carcassonne. Diego gave really clear instructions on how to ride these vintage Solex and took us for a test drive before exiting the town and exploring country lanes through the wine fields circling the medieval city and castle. Great views and beautiful scenery. We went on a day the vineyards were closed but this didn’t matter as Diego took us to an excellent 1790s building and wine shop. Fabulous wines tasted then back to base. We all had so much fun we’d happily have gone again if we’d had the time.

A visit to the atypical and original city. The Top
An experience not to be missed in Carcassonne! We had booked the tour accompanied by brunch. Diego welcomed us to his local where he introduced us to the solex and give all the necessary explanations for the smooth running of our outing. Once the machines were in hand, we attacked our ride. A stop in the city to enjoy brunch, hearty and served with a smile by the owner of the premises. During our outing, Diego gave us a bunch of anecdotes and historical explanations. We shared a great time and were able to discover Carcassonne in an atypical way. It was a very good experience for all of us. Thank you Diego and good luck!
