5.00We live close to Albi and learned so much more about it during our walking tour. We had three friends visiting us from Canada and on the recommendation of a local friend who also took visitors booked our tour. Julia not only took us to lovely quartiers that we weren't aware of but our stops along the way to pick up our things for lunch were also a wonderful introduction. We received an informative history lesson about the cathedral and of Albi. I think my favorite stop was in the garden at Cloitre San Salvi which I didn't even know was there! We would highly recommend taking the Albi Walking Food Tour and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with Julia.
Amazing food and history tour.
