Make this tour your first activity in Toulouse! - This is a GREAT experience, and very interesting! Take the tour on your first day in Toulouse, if possible, so you can know all the best areas to go.

The highlight of our trip to Toulouse! - ​Our family does a food tour in every country we visit, but Alejandro’s experience is truly in a league of its own. This isn't your standard "walk and snack" tour; Alejandro has a brilliantly converted food bike where he prepares everything fresh right in front of you. ​We enjoyed 6 delicious tastings, each paired with a fascinating story from Toulouse's history. Alejandro is incredibly personable and knowledgeable, making the past come alive while he cooks. The absolute standout was the bean and Toulouse sausage cassoulet—even our 14-year-old son was obsessed with it! It’s a unique, intimate, and unforgettable way to see (and taste) the city. We cannot recommend Alejandro enough! The Green Family ​

Gem of a historical tour with scrumptious food!!! - Alex was an absolute gem of an all-in-one historian-chef! With impeccable mastery of English language he expertly spun historical facts into enthralling edge-of-your-seat tales that my kids will remember! He effortless (efficiently too) prepared scrumptious fresh food or had available best-in-town pastries at each stop. One stop included local seasonal cheese and wine!! As a seasoned Michelin chef he explained each simple dish with ease and obvious mastery of important french gastronomy concepts with enthusiasm (and without arrogance)! Will do again if I'm lucky enough! He changes and updates his tour and meals few times a year! Great tour for short visits toToulouse!!!

A wonderful combination of food and history - Alex offers a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the lovely city of Toulouse- its history and its delicious food! He is professional, knowledgeable and very friendly, and, using his background as a chef, has created a unique experience, linking the tasting opportunities to the history of the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

Best food tour ever! - Alex did a fantastic job combining interesting historical information about several Toulouse sites, their backstories, and the development of Toulouse with top quality foods of Toulouse. He was knowledgeable, pleasant, had a great sense of humor in presenting both the historical information and the food descriptions. The quality of the food was great and he presented the platings with care and precision. His background as a chef was very apparent, as was the time he spent before the tour procuring, preparing and organizing the foods for a smooth presentation and enjoyable experience. His knowledge of the history of Toulouse was surpassed only by the high quality of the food. This was the best food tour we’ve had! Highly recommend Alex’s Toulouse food tour!

Toulouse la Trek Not to be Missed! - Wow! This was a fabulous experience. Chef Alex does an artful job combining Toulouse history with food that celebrates the key events. He has a three wheel bike loaded with his goodies to give you six stops in the city center that help to unravel the fascinating history of the city! His comments are augmented by a tablet computer that has photos and graphics that support his commentary. Pace was good and the walk is not difficult. Alex is indeed a chef who felt the need for a career redirection. In our opinion he chose well. If you want a great introduction to this city do not pass up on this tour!
