A great combination of history and food - Who doesn't know this: a guided tour in which hunger comes forward and you can no longer listen in a concentrated way? It's different here! Alex makes your mouth watery and delivers the appetizers he told you about! Alex should also look his tours to other cities! We liked it so much that we recommend it now!

Exceptional and unique gourmet food tour with Alex - This was by far one of the best food tours we have done and we have done quite a few. If you are on the fence, don't think about it, you will regret if you don't. Alex has found a unique value proposition of intersecting food with history without visiting a pre arranged restaurant. He is super knowledgable about the history of Toulouse and France and equally deft at his craft having been a chef for many years and having worked in significant roles in multiple countries. Alex bring his super cool and humorous attitude as he takes you through 7 main sights/monuments and pairs them with 7 food tastings all prepared from his mobile kitchen - we didn't even know when the 4 hours passed. We ould highly recommend this tour at the start of your trip to get a very good view of the city but even if you don't (we did it on our last day) you will not be dissapointed. Thank you Alex for a superb morning, our family cannot stop talking about the tour and we cannot wait to see where Toulouse Gourmet Food Tours is in another year. Merci beaucoup et a bientot.

Best Food & History Tour Ever! - This was the best food/history tour I’ve ever been on. Alex is passionate about both food and history and did a wonderful job of combining the two. The usual food tour approach is for the guide to take you to different spots to sample the food. Alex is different. He has outfitted a bike with a portable kitchen and carefully curates and prepares, or purchases, the food relevant for each of the seven stops on the tour. The food was delicious and the narrative excellent and informative. Alex is a delightful person and clearly cares a great deal about ensuring his guests have a positive experience. His English is excellent! I highly recommend this tour.

Is there a better food tour anywhere ? - Two words suffice to describe the Toulouse Gourmet Tour experience : utterly brilliant. Now, nevertheless, I'll add a few more words. This is way better than any other gourmet tour I've ever taken (and I've taken a lot). Why? Because Alejandro mixes historical detail and anecdote (excellently recounted anecdote) with an intro to Toulouse gastronomy yanked out of his mobile food store and prepared before you, right there in the street. The fellow is charming and absolutely masters his subjects, the food - seven big nibbles at seven stops - is as you might expect from a guy who's worked in Michelin-starred restaurants. Three-to-four hours slip past without you noticing the time. Should you vist Toulouse and not book on this tour, you're truly missing out. And, though Alejandro is Spanish, it's all in perfect English. Please don't hesitate.

Fabulous Chef Experience - This was one of the highlights of our week in Toulouse. Alex, the Chef, was fabulous! The tour was so interesting and the food excellent! He had so many super stories about the area and each one accentuated beautifully by the chosen food/wine. We would highly recommend this tour to any English speaking visitors to Toulouse. Simply Superb!

Great mixture of culture, history, and food. Highly recommend this tour! - This tour with Alejandro was a wonderful primer for exploring central Toulouse. He is a gracious host, highly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area, and the food was delicious. I was only in Toulouse for two days, and this tour allowed me the chance to sample some of the delicacies of the city that I wouldn't have had time for otherwise, in addition to learning about some key historical events in Toulouse.
