5.00I had a wonderful experience as a solo female traveler on my way to summer camp. The meeting spot was very easy to find (even as a non-French speaker!). Chef Alejandro is incredibly knowledgeable of the history, and does an amazing job incorporating the cuisine so intricately to the stories and timeline. I recommended (and continue to recommend) this food tour to anyone visiting the area!!
Perfect in every way!

5.00It was an extraordinary experience. The chef's historical explanations, his ability to adapt to his audience (all foreigners), the little touches of humour, the tour offered, the products tasted, everything was just right, professional and of excellent quality in my opinion. Thank you Alejandro, I highly recommend this experience.
Amazing

5.00What an amazing history and food experience tour. Sadly, I do not have photos because we were too busy eating. Alejandro was a wonderful guide around the City Center of Toulouse. Because it was low season and windy he only cooked one dish on his cart for us and the rest were in restaurants or pre-made like chocolatines and macarons. Everything we ate was super filling and delicious. I think he does cook a bit more during the summer. Well worth our time and so happy we got to go on one of the best food tours we have ever been on
A must do in Toulouse!

Alex has a wealth of knowledge of the history of Toulouse and kept us glued to his every word with his style of delivery. And, he always managed to masterfully connect delicious food to every historical anecdote. A must do in Toulouse!
