    We learned a lot and tasted some foods we would otherwise not have tried. All of the food , with the exception of the cheese and wine was prepared in advance and brought on the tour. We had a great time.

  • Highly recommend!

    Alex was fabulous… he made everyone feel very welcome. His engaging manner captivated the audience. We started off with delicious chocolatine- the real authentic pastries. Our journey took us through the streets of Toulouse as Alex narrated his wonderful stories from the local history…. Each story intertwined with the delightful tasty courses. The finale expertly choreographed drawing our few hours to a conclusion outside a wonderful ‘ pretty cathedral’!!! We really enjoyed this tour with a difference. We learned so much both about food and how to eat it ‘the French way’ and the history of Toulouse and its people. Definitely one of our most enjoyable food tours.

  • The best food tour anywhere - unbelievably awesome
