5.00I’m not usually the type to write reviews but, for this tour, I just have to. Despite the crazy heat, we have just spent a fabulous few hours with Alex. His ability to mix the history of Toulouse, personal experience of life in the city, and universally great food and wine makes for a fabulous tour. Worth every penny and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to everyone.

5.00This was the best history and food tour that I have done. Alejandro has really put a lot of research into the unique history of Toulouse....geopolitical, gastronomical, architectural and the just plain twists of fate that have made history. It was a lot of fun walking, learning and tasting the dishes that go along with the entertaining stories. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Toulouse. You will learn why it is the pink city!
The best food tour! With amazing Toulouse history too!

This is the second time I’ve taken this tour and I would not hesitate to take this tour again on a future trip. Food quality was top notch, venues lovely, and Alejandro has excellent technical acumen about food and all things Toulouse. So many details cared for in this tour. Thank you!

Great and unique introduction to Toulouse

5.00Had a great morning with Alex very informative and easy going experience with history mixed with food from the region. Not that difficult a walk as mostly flat and given plenty of time, if needed, to keep up. We were quite lucky to have only 5 people on our days tour so no issues with hearing or space and Alex had said even if maximum number of people still same relaxed atmosphere. Great introduction to the city and well worth the cost for such a unique experience. Florence and I both loved it.
