Private Tour Details

Join us as we set off to discover the secrets that the Cathars left behind in the south of France. At the chosen time, we will meet in front of the Narbonne Gate of Carcassonne to begin the private tour of one of the best-preserved walled cities in Europe.

For two hours, we will stroll through the historic center of Carcassonne and learn about its past. You will see a brilliant example of medieval defensive architecture with a total of 52 towers, built for the city's protection against possible attacks. The tour will cover the main enemies of Carcassonne.

Additionally, we will explore the walls of Carcassonne and the history of its main monuments, including the Basilica of Saint-Nazaire, which features both Romanesque and Gothic architecture. The stained glass windows create a unique lighting effect within the temple.

If desired, we can also visit two main attractions: the Condal Castle and the Museum of the Inquisition. The tour will conclude in the old town after the two-hour guided experience.
