Top notch tour - Olivia was one of the most knowledgeable guides we have experienced in Europe. We learned a great deal about the castle and its history. The stop by the canal was also enjoyable. She shared some stories about its construction and usage over the centuries. While the cost was high, we thought it was a great value overall. Highly recommend her!

The best tour experience of Carcasonne! - Incredibly knowledgeable of the region and the friendliest tour guide. Highly recommended to anyone interested in learning about the area. Willing to customize the tour to accommodate any interests. It was such a treat getting to spend the day with her, you can tell she loves what she does. Worth every penny and planning on using her services for any future tours in the region.
