This was one of the best things we did on our trip! Anna is a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. We were two adults and two teenagers. Despite us all having divergent interests, Anna kept our attention for the entire time. Our history buff son was especially thrilled with all of the insightful information she had and, as a result, we loved the city even more! We had a great time and Anna is very personable. If I return to Carcassonne, I will book the tour again.

Anna was a fabulous story teller and would be good for both adults and families. She was recommended by others who took her tour the week before and she did not disappoint. She was one of the best guides I've had around the world. Highly recommend. We had a group of 5 - perfect.

Anna provided a most insightful tour of Carrcassone! She was extremely knowledgeable and shared the history of the walled city in a most engaging way. She was enthusiastic and energetic on a very hot afternoon. I highly recommend this tour with Anna.

We loved Carcassone, and Anna really brought the history to life. Not just a fortress and castle, but a vibrant community of restaurants and shops within the old city.
