5 STAR TOUR!!! BOOK WITH ALLY - Book a tour with Ally! The vendors at the local food market knew Ally and treated us exceptionally well. Every dish we tried was delicious, and experiencing them within a French food market left us with a newfound appreciation for the cuisine. It felt more authentic, budget-friendly, and approachable. As an American tour group, we felt completely at ease and were warmly welcomed. Our food market tour with Ally easily deserves a five-star rating!

MUST DO Toulouse tour! - A wonderful welcome and memorable introduction to Toulouse! Ally - chef and cook book editor- was a thoughtful, knowledgeable guide, sensitive to the dietary restrictions of tour participants. Ally’s enthusiasm for Toulouse gastronomy and history made this tour a 10 out of 10! She is a credit to a Taste of Toulouse and an outstanding ambassador. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic food tour with Ally - I honestly thought this was one of the best food tours I've done. Ally was incredibly well informed and shared the info in such an engaging and interesting way. She kept me and my 17-year-old son very engaged through the whole 3.5 hour tour. Amazing value and the lunch at the end was so convivial and fun. Top marks. Wonderful experience!
