Fun and flavourful - Fun, delicious and educational! Learned a lot of the history of Toulouse and got some of its unique taste treats. We enjoyed the walk and the amazing variety of food Alex pulled from his bike/kitchen.

Divertido y ameno - The tour is brilliantly structured around stories, places, and gastronomy... and to be honest, all three aspects are perfectly crafted. Plus, Alejandro is fun and manages to make the three-plus hours of the tour fly by. Without a doubt, we recommend it to any visitor to Toulouse looking for a different experience of the city!

Made Toulouse come alive for us! - We had a wonderful tour with a knowledgeable chef who not only knew the history of Toulouse but also brought it to life in such an engaging way. He guided us through 7 notable sights, sharing fascinating historical background at each stop, and thoughtfully connected the food he served with the area’s rich culture. The whole experience was relaxed, enjoyable, and felt very personal. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Toulouse! If you want to experience French food and the history of Toulouse in an authentic and memorable way, this is the tour to take. Exceptional value!

A fantastic experience! - My partner and I had an absolutely fantastic time on this tour, our host was funny, extremely well versed in both cuisine and the history of Toulouse, as well as a brilliant cook. We learnt a great deal of history about Toulouse in very bite size chunks and ate 7 courses of delicious food to go with those bites, each with their history and flavours explained. I simply cannot recommend this tour enough, brilliant!

Excellent balance of food and learning about the history of Toulouse. Professionally done. - A great fun tour, would definitely recommend. We loved finding out about the history of Toulouse and tasting the regional foods. Alejandro is an excellent guide and being a chef, the food was delicious. A unique way to tour the city, as usually on trips you spend a lot of time in restaurants, so it’s nice to walk around the town and then stop at landmarks with a pop up picnic vibe. Alejandro introduced us to new flavours and gave us the facts behind why it’s eaten and how the food is relevant to the historical events of Toulouse. Alejandro also speaks French, Spanish and English.

Ideal welcome to Toulouse - An excellent introduction both to Toulouse and le sud-ouest Alex was an excellent guide. Fluent in English, historically well informed and a skilled and knowledgeable chef. We can’t recommend his services highly enough. The perfect start to our city break. And yes it was hot….
