Recommended for those interested in food !! - I really enjoyed the market walking with Ally. Cassoulet is not the only gourmet food. Starting with delicious bread, ham, foie gras, cheese and finally dessert. Thank you for teaching me so much about food. The next morning, I went to the market again to buy souvenirs. I'm just going to go in hungry. Three hours passed in no time and I am very satisfied.

10/10 - Absolutely blown away by Jennifer Kincaid and Taste of Toulouse! Jen’s passionate about regional food, wine, and culture . What an incredible depth of knowledge about the local markets, vendors, and local wines… truly special! Genuine warmth, humor, and enthusiasm. It wasn’t just about tasting; it was about understanding Toulouse through its flavors and people. One of those experiences that quietly stays with you. Jen will thoughtfully share her deep knowledge of the city’s food, wine, and culture. Take this tour and you’ll experience how each stop feels intentional. Her connection with the local vendors (e.g., Garcias) adds a layer of authenticity that made it all that more special. Every space visited, precisely curated. Whether we were sampling cheeses, discovering hidden gems in the Victor Hugo Market, or learning how to pair wines like a pro, I felt immersed in the best of Toulouse. Jen’s like a friend that’s welcoming you into the secret heart of her adopted city. So, first things first: visit Toulouse. And then when you do, do not miss this experience. It’s one of those rare tours that leaves you smarter, happier, and just a little more mildly jealous you weren’t born here.

Excellent value for money and interesting and enjoyable tour of the Victor Hugo Food Market - This is a wonderful experience of sampling high quality local produce associated with the local area of Toulouse, including meats, cheeses, bread and wines, with interesting commentary, information and history. Danielle, our guide, made the experience very enjoyable with her friendly, professional approach, wide knowledge and interesting facts she provided us along the way. The tour lasted three and a half hours and was paced very well, ending with a lunch of cheeses, meats, pate and wines chosen throughout our tour. I would recommend this tour.

Everything I hoped for! - The Taste of Toulouse Experience is worth booking. From the time we were met by Danielle at the designated meeting point, we were shown all around the market and introduced to different market traders. The tour was very informative and Danielle is clearly passionate as well as very knowledgeable about Toulouse culture and produce. She made the tour well worth it and fun, too. The timing (3.5 hours) was spent well with lots of information and tasting opportunities. The lunch at the end comprised of meats, cheeses, traditional french bread and wines from the area. I highly recommend.

A wonderful.intriduction to Toulouse - highly recommend this tour! - We loved this tour. We have done quite a few food tours and find it a great way to learn about a new place - you learn about the history and the culture and of course get to sample amazing food. This tour was no exception - we were led by Ally and joined by two other delightful travelers. This tour was so enjoyable. Ally was a wonderful guide and we learned a great deal. And of course the food was amazing - great variety, amazing flavors, just a delight!

Get a Taste of Toulouse! - Our guide Danielle showed us how to appreciate the remarkable food purveyors of Victor Hugo Market. She gave us background of foods and the people behind the counters all while deftly piquing our appetites before we partook like locals at a barrel table eating the specialties she procured for us. Of course all was paired with delicious local wines. She gave us tips of where to eat and followed up with an email of where we stopped and further restaurant recommendations. We truly felt like we got a Taste of Toulouse!
