Too hot to enjoy!
Mary_B, Dec 2024
what sounded intriguing was a pretty miserable experience. We were outside in 95 degrees while the host kept talking for 20 minutes before providing anything to taste. There were a total of 6 people and 2 only spoke french, the others spoke english. He had an assistant that would repeat his french into english. It became challenging to listen to both of them talk at that same time. Then we moved to another location and a repeat. While they did provide great information and local history - it became too much in the heat so we left early. He was gracious enough to give us the cheeses we would miss (since we paid for it!!)
He was a nice guy as was his assistant - but someone, and I think it was him - had really bad BO - so a little off setting!
Very good experience !

Cheese, Wine and History of Toulouse
Sara_J, Dec 2024
Learned a lot about the city and cheese and wine pairings. I loved how this was a walking tour with stops along the way to admire and discuss architecture, history and of course food. The tour is in both English and French. Highly recommend!

Hello Sara. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a positive review !
I see that the goal was achieved : strolling around Toulouse while taking the time to appreciate very good local products, especially wine and cheese, all while discussing French and regional culture.
Thanks again for ordering the gourmet tour to discover the Pink City with a cheese specialist !
See you soon.
Nathan
Recommended activity for body and mind!

Taste discovery with great stories about Toulouse. We thought we would taste some cheese, we rediscovered Toulouse and had a very pleasant time with Nathan and Flora. Walk, anecdotes about some sites and above all cheese tasting experience.
