Free walking tours in Carcassonne

The tour was very interesting. We learnt a lot and saw things we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Paul was a wonderful guide.

Paul packs a lot into this walk, it’s full of information and is well researched with photos and stories. There is a good atmosphere with ‘medals’ awarded for answers to questions along the way. Moves along, no hanging about. Thoroughly recommend. (Paul, have already recommended to Italian friend Daniele, he is coming in August).

Most informational tour and charismatic guide

It was a very interesting talk about a particular time in the history of Carcassone, which we wouldn't have found out elsewhere. He was very informative, enthusiastic about the subject and a good communicator.

Very knowledgeable and interesting guide. Informative and entertaining with an approachable manner. Equal focus on the historical role of men and women which was appreciated, and very mindful of children and less mobile members of the group.

Excellent and interesting tour. Learnt a lot. with a very knowledgeable and informative guide. Very friendly. Couldn’t have been better

Paul had me enthralled for over two hours with his expert knowledge and enthusiasm for French resistance during WW2 .. Carcasonne came alive for me.

Paul was recommended and did not disappoint. I leaned lots. Excellent presentation!

Paul provided a comprehensive and enjoyable presentation of the events in Carcassonne during WWII. He supported his tour with many useful photos and brought us to the various places crucial to the German Occupation in Carcassonne as well as describing what was occurring in France as well as other areas of Europe. I highly recommend this tour and the guide, Paul.

Fabulous tour! Paul provided a very engaging and dynamic commentary on life in Carcassonne and greater France during the Second World War. Well worth attending!

Paul bought the history alive and was very engaging.

'Better than Mrs Frank! (one of the history teachers of one of our group in the 1970s!!)' 'Brought the history to life'. Have never been disappointed with Guruwalks and Paul was great - friendly and informative. Highly recommended.

Very informative walk. Recommended.

Paul is a really professional and knowledgeable guide. I really enjoyed the guide trip, and I learned a lot about history of Carcassonne. I was also surprised that Paul can find so many places according to the past photos. Really unforgettable guide tour.

Great detail of locations and personal lives affected by world war 2, delivered well and at a perfect pace. Thought provoking and respectful.

Paul is very knowledgable about the topic and has an easy going and entertaining way of delivering his information. He put the interesting local stories into both the national and international context. It was a very interesting 2.5 hours and I would highly recommend the tour.

Paul gave us a great tour! He was engaging and knowledgeable. It was fascinating to see this topic from the perspective of a small town in France. The personal stories and photos he shared helped us to identify more closely with key figures.

Paul had exceptional knowledge relating to our tour of Carcassonne in the 2nd World War. It was obvious that he'd done a lot of research to cover the final detail of that period of time in Carcassonne. He was very professional and polite making conversation with our small group.

Such an interesting tour, it was great to see a different side to Carcassonne outside the medieval city. Paul made it really interesting, engaging and interactive.

Paul is very knowledgeable about his subject, it is evident that he has spent a lot of time researching matters and he presented it very well. The tour was very interesting and well prepared, we learned a lot about how things were during the WW2 in Carcassonne.

Paul has put in a lot of time into researching his bespoke WW2 in Carcassonne Tour - that was clear from the outset. Paul was incredibly engaging and passionate about the subject and the city itself, and brought many of his photos to life with small details and insights. My partner and I have done many historical 20th century walking tours across Europe, and we certainly learnt something new from Paul's tour. He fielded questions really well and overall was an excellent tour guide.

The tour with Paul had great stories that engaged us with the history.

Excellent tour, very interesting
