I took this private tour when in Toulouse for a weekend. My guide, Shima, was very knowledgeable and she tailored the tour to my interests. I learned a lot about Toulouse as well as a few hidden gems for buying gifts. I highly recommend this tour.

Le Guide était très sympathique et serviable nous aurions appréciés un peut plus de détails historiques sur les bâtiments et personnages qui on fait l'histoire de la ville de Toulouse The guide was very friendly and helpful; we would have appreciated a little more historical detail about the buildings and figures who shaped the history of the city of Toulouse.

Shima is very knowledgeable about Toulouse architecture, history, food, and people. She spoke clearly. She emphasized key events from hundreds of years of history. She is smart, she listens well, enthusiastic, and wonderful to have as a tour guide. Well done!

Your FAQs

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
