We came to Alex's food and history tour with high expectations because of all the 5 star reviews on TA, and it didn't disappoint! It was the best introduction to our stay in Toulouse that we could have wished for. Alex is a great communicator, responding effectively regarding all my queries before the tour. During the tour we learnt so much interesting information about Toulouse, Alex helped us bond well as a group and he shared his extensive knowledge about local food and wine. The foodie stops themselves were all amazing. My husband's vegetarian diet and a lady's gluten free diet were catered for really well. We left feeling saited and happy. Thoroughly recommend!
Bonjour Ruth! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m so glad the tour lived up to your expectations and made for a great introduction to Toulouse. It’s also lovely to hear that everyone in the group, including those with dietary requirements, could fully enjoy the experience. Wishing you both a fantastic stay in La Ville Rose and a great International Urban Sketchers Symposium 2026. À la prochaine!
This was an amazing tour. The food was great and the history talks even better. Highly recommend this tour.
Bonjour Denise! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m delighted you enjoyed both the food and the stories, and I really appreciate your recommendation. Wishing you a fantastic stay in La Ville Rose. À la prochaine!
Wonderful time with Alejandro on his food and history tour of Toulouse. He is very knowledgeable on the history of Toulouse and I enjoyed the foods he paired with the history lessons.
Bonjour! Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m so glad you enjoyed discovering Toulouse’s history through its local flavors, and that the food pairings made the stories even more memorable. Wishing you a wonderful stay in La Ville Rose. À la prochaine!
This was a great tour. My teenager and I joined last minute and even though it was 38C today, Alejandro really made sure we had a fantastic time. The food options were very good and I really enjoyed the history as well. I think this was the perfect mix of food + history in a town this size with a significant past and some scandals to discuss. This was so unique! You can tell Alejandro outs a lot of love and attention into curating the experience. I wish all tours I went on were this well composed and thought out. My 16 year old agrees. Would highly recommend!
Bonjour! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m especially glad you and your teenager enjoyed the experience, even on such a hot day! I’m happy we could keep it fun despite the 38°C, and that the mix of history, food, and a few Toulouse scandals made it memorable. Wishing you both a fantastic rest of your travels. I hope you enjoyed Aeroscopia, the plane museum! À la prochaine!
This tour was amazing! The knowledge and history was so in depth and interesting. And the food was also amazing. Alex was such a gracious host/guide and very passionate about both the food and the history. I highly recommend this tour if you are in Toulouse!

Not to be missed, really a great experience. We have done a lot of tours on our European trips and this was excellent.
Bonjour! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m truly glad you enjoyed the combination of history and local food, and that the experience stood out among your European travels. Wishing you a fantastic stay in La Ville Rose. À la prochaine!
This is my favorite tour in Toulouse. I love learning more history about the places I visit, and the stories were fascinating. I actually did this on my last day here, but I would recommend it as a first day tour so you can get a feel for all of the sites you'll want to go back to and visit more. Also, at the end, he gives a list of local restaurant suggestions to try, so now I'll have to plan another trip so I can try them out!
Bonjour! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m delighted you enjoyed the stories and that the tour gave you a deeper appreciation of Toulouse. Hopefully those restaurant recommendations will give you the perfect excuse to come back! Wishing you a fantastic stay in La Ville Rose. À la prochaine!
We booked Alejandro’s tour for the first day that we were in Toulouse. It was a wise decision, given the wonderful introduction that he gave to the city, its history, the food, and everything that there is to enjoy in Toulouse. I would recommend it for anyone coming to the city. Even the best city guide you can purchase won’t buy you delicious empanadas and cheese as you tour the city, tell you the history of the aerospace industry, point out where the patron saint of the city was dragged by a bull, tell you about the role Toulouse has played in the history of religious tolerance, or send you a list of the best coffee shops, restaurants, and other places to enjoy. A wonderful tour by someone who clearly knows and loves the city.
Bonjour! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m so glad you chose the tour for your first day in Toulouse and that it helped you discover the city’s history, food, and hidden stories. Wishing you a fantastic stay in La Ville Rose. À la prochaine!
The whole experience was very enjoyable and engaging for our family - parents and two adult children. The level of information and knowledge was outstanding and very well presented as an overview of Toulouse and its history. We thoroughly enjoyed the food tasting as we went along the tour - all the choices were interesting and enjoyable - just right. An experience well worth it
Bonjour! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m delighted that your whole family enjoyed the experience together and that the mix of history and local food made for a memorable introduction to Toulouse. Wishing you all a fantastic stay in La Ville Rose. À la prochaine!
This tour was excellent from start to finish! I thought the stops and the different food items were really well chosen, and Alejandro is a brilliant narrator. The stories that he told about the city gave us such a nice understanding of Toulouse, its history and its food. I'm so glad we chose this for our first day in Toulouse, and would strongly recommend the tour to other travellers.
