The site of he medieval city of Carcassonne dates back to more than 400BC. The inside of the enclosed city is only accessible by walking the various cobble stoned narrow streets full of hidden corners where artisans give you a taste of how things were done in the day. There are ample souvenir shops to keep young and old happy. A guided tour is the best way to get a feeling for the place. Unfortunately there is no high ground to take photos of the layout. The best general photo can be obtained when walking on the main street outside the village. For a cost, a small tourist train takes you around the perimeter of the village while a recorded tape explains some of the highlights through headphones.

We were very lucky that the weather was bright & sunny (it was mid December) so we had great views from the battlements across the town below and to the mountains in the distance. Everything went as planned and the coach that transported us was very clean and comfortable so overall a very good trip.

The day trip was worth the money. The bus departed Toulouse on time and we were picked up at Carcassonne on time. The travel agent who welcomed us at the bus was bilingual and gave clear instructions for the day. Apart from showing up for the bus on time, we were on our own. The ticket we were given at the bus, for entering the Chateau, let us waltz by the people waiting in line to buy a ticket. Logistically, everything was excellent. The medieval town is photogenic, and we were pleased by many views from the Chateau itself. We spent some money at the tourist shops and sandwich shops and enjoyed some drinks for an hour at a shaded bar. We were all pleased.

The tour is pretty basic. They transport you to Carcassonne and back from Toulouse via air conditioned bus and provide you with a skip the queue ticket to the castle, and leave you to explore the castle (for which you can get an audio guide) and village on your own, which suited me but may not suit everyone. It’s a good option if you don’t have a car to get out to Carcassonne, which is definitely worth seeing.

The walk along the rampart, watching some sword fighting and the medieval camp displaying how people lived in medieval times. The architecture was stunning and is well maintained.

All you offered was a bus ride and a castle ticket on a day whem entrance was free! No one accompanied the participants except the driver who spoke only french to tell us we arrived. Not even a recorded narration on the coach to tell us the history of our destination.

The tour only includes ticket for the bus ride and entrance to the chateau. Would recommend the bus driver put a sign in the window stating he is the Viator Tour Bus as there was another red bus at the pick up in Carcassonne and several people got on the wrong bus. Lovely day exploring the Chateau and the old city.

Amazing self guided tour in Carcassonne and Comtale Castle a worth a visit when you are in Toulouse. Entrance to the castle is free when you book the tour in Viator. Enjoy the cafes and restaurants in the walled city.

It is a convenient transportation tool, not the tour coz no guide with us. They give us a ticket for castle before boarding bus and it was quite helpful because otherwise we need to bear a long que to buy ticket at that castle.

A fabulous visit back into medieval times- however, go early because it is very busy and buy your tickets online. This is a must visit when you are in this area.
