A thoroughly enjoyable holiday - well organised, beautiful location and a stunning hotel
Excellent itinerary, fantastic hotel, first rate tour manager and great weather!
Everything from the weather, hotel, location and travel was 5 star from start to finish.
I had an excellent experience.
Great historical place to visit. So much to see and do. The hotel was excellent. We treated ourselves to dinner in the hotels Michelin starred restaurant which was fantastic. Quite pricey but well worth the expense. Our trips out were very good and our tour guide Ros Adley was excellent too.
Excellent itinery, tour manager, and hotel
It was an excellent holiday that fell just short of 5 stars. The Canal du Midi return trip (about 2 hours altogether) was pleasant but a little underwhelming, involving a cruise along the canal including some of the suburbs of Carcassonne (i.e. perhaps not the most scenic one might have hoped for). Also the trip to the vineyard for a tasting and dinner (also on the last day) was not memorable (neither were the wines), although our local host and his team were very good. The meals included on the trip (apart from the superb breakfasts) were also not too special but the 'self catering' meals of local produce were wonderful as was our hotel in the old city of Carcassonne and the city itself!
“Wow” the hotel and holiday itself. The hotel was the best we have stayed in with GRJ.
We had a most enjoyable holiday in Carcassonne and everything within the control of Great Rail Journeys ran smoothly. The hotel was excellent, the excursions enjoyable and there were no delays on the journeys to and from Carcassonne.
Weather diabolical, but hotel, staff, guide and excursions great. Think that you ought to employ a sun dancer who could guarantee good weather. Look forward to next year's holiday.
