Travel to the 13th century

The circuit is interesting but quite short (in distance covered). Thomas takes us with him to the 13th century. We learned a lot of interesting things about our times. Thank you, Master Guilhem.

Immersive discovery

Mestre Guilhem taught us many interesting facts about the City. Between anecdotes and participation in the form of questions, young and old loved it.

Beautiful reading of the city stones

Original and exciting visit with an atypical character who knew how to take us into the world of builders. Get into the game, you will have a great time.

Destabilizing

Visit on a Saturday at 6 pm The guide has a humor of his own and the fact of calling the clients senile or ball does not encourage either to participate or to question..the visit is nice but there is like a malaise

Operator response

Merci pour votre retour, nous sommes navrés de constater que vous n'ayez été à l'aise sur la visite. Notre guide incarne un personnage historique au franc-parler assumé, un bâtisseur rustre et peu tolérant, fidèle à son époque. Il prend soin de prévenir dès le début de sa visite que le ton peut surprendre, afin que chacun sache à quoi s’attendre, et surtout que c'est un personnage incarné pour la visite. Ce choix d’interprétation plaît généralement beaucoup, dans un esprit d’humour et d’immersion. Nous sommes navrés que cela vous a mis mal à l’aise, et espérons que la visite vous a tout de même apporté de bons moments, nous allons veiller à moins accentuer certains traits de son caractère qui pourraient creer un malaise ou freiner les questions des visiteurs qui sont bien entendu toujours bienvenues. Bien cordialement,

Fantastique!

Great for nerdy Architectural details and a real insight into the context of what made Carcasonne what it is!

Very interesting and informative, with a guide speaker, who has his tempered character. The walk in the largest medieval city is a journey through time.

Immersive guided tour in the time of the builders

Informative guided tour which introduces us to the construction methods of the city. An immersion in the 13th century performed by the guide informs us about the work and life of the city's builders
