We loved the tour! There were four of us, and it was amazing from start to finish. The storytelling was great — even though I live in Toulouse, I learned a lot of new things about the city. Definitely interesting, even for locals. The snacks he made on the spot were super tasty, and we got awesome recommendations for places to visit, including some I had never heard of. Highly recommend this tour !
