Terrific tour of Carcassone - Fantastic and easy to follow recorded tour. Should be publicised more! Just had to download app and recording and arrive where the recorded tour ‘started’. Photos and marked places on map to help people with no sense of direction, like me. Very informative and interesting and lively. Helped us to really appreciate the walled castle and understand so much about it! Can pause and restart at anytime to have a coffee or look at something else. Highly recommend!! Will be using this in the future if other tours are as good.
