Private tours in Carcassone

Private Tours in Carcassonne

Step into a fairytale as you explore Carcassonne, one of the best-preserved medieval fortified cities in Europe. With Tour Travel & More, enjoy personalized private tours in English that take you through centuries of history, awe-inspiring architecture, and the unique atmosphere of this UNESCO World Heritage Site—all with the comfort of a luxury vehicle and expert local guide.

Exploring the Walled Citadel of Carcassonne

Begin your private tour in the heart of La Cité, the extraordinary medieval fortress perched above the River Aude. Walk through the Narbonne Gate and along the double ramparts, which stretch nearly 3 kilometers and include 52 imposing towers. Visit the Basilica of Saints Nazarius and Celsus, an exquisite blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles with stunning stained-glass windows. Your guide will bring to life the stories of knights, crusaders, and Cathars as you explore cobbled alleys, battlements, and hidden corners within the citadel.

The Cathar Legacy and Local Legends

Carcassonne holds deep historical ties to the Cathars, a religious group persecuted in the 13th century. Your guide will explain the city’s role in the Albigensian Crusade, particularly the dramatic siege of 1209, which shaped the fortress's powerful defensive design. Discover fascinating legends, including the story of Dame Carcas, said to have tricked an invading army and given the city its name. Learn how Carcassonne was rescued from ruin in the 19th century by architect Viollet-le-Duc, who restored it to its medieval grandeur.

Gastronomic Journey through Languedoc Flavors

Savor the bold and rustic flavors of the Languedoc region. Enjoy a private tasting of local wines such as Corbières and Minervois, or indulge in the iconic regional dish: cassoulet, a rich stew of duck, pork, and white beans. Your guide can lead you to a traditional restaurant within the citadel or arrange a countryside lunch in a charming village nearby, where farm-to-table cuisine celebrates the region’s heritage.

Beyond the Walls: Bastide Saint-Louis and the Aude Valley

Cross the old Pont Vieux to explore Bastide Saint-Louis, the lower town built in the 13th century. Visit the Place Carnot, browse artisan shops, and soak in the more modern but equally charming side of Carcassonne. Take a scenic drive through the Aude Valley, dotted with vineyards, abbeys, and Cathar castles such as Lastours or Peyrepertuse, offering dramatic views and deep historical intrigue.

Artisans, Architecture, and Timeless Views

Carcassonne is a haven for craftspeople. Discover handmade ceramics, soaps, and textiles in boutique shops tucked inside medieval buildings. Climb to panoramic viewpoints for stunning vistas over the countryside and the distant Pyrenees. With Tour Travel & More, your visit to Carcassonne becomes an immersive experience of history, culture, and southern French charm. Book your private tour today and walk through time in one of Europe’s most magical fortified cities.

El equipo de viajes Tour y más era muy servicial y servicial en la organización de nuestra excursión de un día.

a wonderful way to see Rome in one day We had an excellent private tour in Rome. Our driver, John Carlo arrived at our ship dock right on time and expertly drove us to Rome where we met up with our tour guide Marlene. At this point we drove all around the city where Marlene shared the history of buildings, sites and roman culture that were centuries old. We would get out of the car and walk around to get a closer view of various sites as our driver would maneuver back and pick us up to continue on our exploration. Our walk through St Peters was the last place we visited and it was thrilling to spend a little time there. The purpose of our tour was to see all the major sites in Rome in the limited time we had and I would like to say, "Mission accomplished". Thank you John Carlo and Marlene.. Really we can't thank you all enough for arranging this wonderful trip. The car was perfect to get around in the busy streets of Rome, something that we could not have done on our own.

Wonderful experience We would like to thank you for a wonderful tour yesterday. Our tour guide ,Paulo, was excellent. As you know we had some young kids with us and he kept everything relevant in scope while making our day very interesting. We all had a great time. The drivers were on time and got us to our destination safely and efficiently. It was really one of the best tours we have had on our trip to Italy.

Una gran experiencia Todos los servicios que hemos tenido con ustedes entre el 8 y el 11 d febrero han ido muy, muy bien.Tanto la recogida en el aeropuerto como el traslado hoy desde el hotel al aeropueto, por parte de Luca Bianco, que ha sido muy profesional en todo momento, así como también el acompañamiento también de Luca durante los tours del domingo y el lunes, que fue nuestro chofer. No podemos poner un pero. Sus servicio ha sido excelente.Disfrutamos enormemente de ambos Tours, Roma Antigua de 7 horas el sábado y Vaticano de 4 horas el lunes, con la guía Ala Saratinean. Sabe muchísimo sobre Roma y el arte, y se adaptó perfectamente para que nuestra hija de 13 años, que era para la que habíamos organizado el viaje, pudiera disfrutarla a tope.Salió todo perfecto. Sin duda, si volviéramos a Roma volveríamos a contar con Tour Travel & More y solicitaríamos la posibilidad de volver a contar tanto con Luca como con Ala.Agradezco también todo el servicio durante el proceso de reseva, especialmente de Patricio, que hizo todo lo posible por aclarar mis dudas y montar un tour con los requisitos que le fuí indicando. También quiero mencionar a Alex, con quien resolví algunas dudas de última hora, en ausencia de Patricio que estaba de vacaciones y contraté los servicios de traslados.¡Un 10 a todos! Igualmente todo el proceso de pago y la informaciones que va facilitando dan seguridad y hace que resulte todo muy sencillo.
