Fun food and wine walking tour.
Z8004TMellend, Dec 2024
This was a very fun tour. The guide was really entertaining and took us on a nice tour around the city. He was very knowledgeable and interesting. There was less actual cooking than I expected (most of what we had was pre-cooked), but it was all really good. Plenty of food and nice wine tasting. Overall, I had a great time and it was a great way to see the city and learn its history.

The tour with Alex was really wonderful! He had a nicely curated program sharing interesting stories about the city paired with some delicious treats all along the way. This was really a great way to get to know Toulouse and also try some dishes that we probably wouldn't have found on our own otherwise. The tour concept was unique, it was really cool to have Alex prepare little snacks from his cargo bike along the way.
Alex was really personable and accommodating and we very much enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend this tour!

Alex created an outstanding tour by combining history with food and drink. His choice of landmarks and the integration of food history into the stories was brilliant! As a captivating storyteller, his passion was evident throughout. The tour was well-organized and highly enjoyable. I wish I had more time in Toulouse to explore all his recommendations, but I'll definitely return! I highly recommend this interactive experience in the pink city!
