Albi and Cordes sur Ciel Private Day Tour from Toulouse

Our tour guide Olivia was excellent. She was knowledgably, patient, n time. She took us to all the interesting historic points . She was great.

Great way to experience Albi & Cordes-sur-Ciel - Olivia is an experienced, engaged and engaging guide who was very accommodating of our interests and expectations. She shared many bits of information that only a local could, including the many random questions we had not only about the immediate region but also about France, and French people, culture and history. She also took a genuine interest in us and our previous experiences, which helped make the time spent travelling between locations fly. No hesitation in recommending the experience to others.

We took a 1/2 day and full day tour with Olivia, and both tours were amazing. For the 1/2 day tour, we did a walking tour of the Cité Médiévale Carcassonne with a trip to a local winery afterwards. Olivia's knowledge of the history and architecture of La Cité Médiévale was amazing, and gave us so much insight into how and why the city was built the way it is. She took the time to point out unique architectural features and told us some famous stories of the city. It enhanced our enjoyment so much to get the stories behind the incredible things we were seeing! She also gave us recommendations for things to do on our own later in the day, which was lovely! The next day, Olivia picked us up from our AirBnB, luggage in hand, and took us on a full day tour from Carcassonne to Albi and Cordes sur Ciel, and then dropped us off at our AirBnB in Toulouse at the end of the day. I cannot say enough about Olivia's knowledge of the local history and architecture, beyond just the cities we visited. She is absolutely amazing, and we learned so much about the Occitanie region. Equally important to her knowledge of the area, was the connection we made with her. We felt completely comfortable with Olivia from the first moment we met her. We chatted easily with her during our drives between stops and never felt awkward or uncomfortable with her. She also knew the spots to stop and get great photos! If you're considering a private tour in the Occitanie region of France, I absolutely recommend that you connect with Olivia. You won't regret it. It was worth every Euro we spent, to have our enjoyment of these beautiful places enhanced by her knowledge and expertise. She was simply amazing, and definitely a highlight of our trip!
