Overview

A journey through medieval Toulouse! Come and discover for yourself why all attendees value it positively.

The Middle Ages was a time of crusades, heresies, passions, and miracles. Join me on a temporary journey through the iconic and essential places of the city of Toulouse.

We will discover how the great pilgrimage routes were born and led people to travel hundreds of kilometers on dangerous journeys into the unknown, all through the spectacular Saint Sernin Basilica.

We will go through the streets where the most famous myths of the city of Toulouse happened.

We will learn about the language of the great troubadours in front of the marvelous façade of the Capitol, the spectacular city hall.

We will immerse ourselves in the roots of the Dominicans, the crusades, and heresies through the magnificent convent of the Jacobins.

And this is just the beginning of this impressive 2-hour tour in which I will discover the colors of Toulouse and its secrets, the disasters that almost wiped it off the map, and the strange name of "La Ville Rose" that the city of Toulouse.

Basilique Saint-Sernin de Toulouse
Saint Stephen's Cathredal
Pont Neuf

“Highly recommended ”

Alvaro was a great guide. He showed us around the city and explained everything in such detail and in such a way that it was very easy to attend to him. The 2 hours of the tour passed super fast. We made several stops to see several historical buildings that he explained perfectly and then gave you 10 minutes to see them. 100% recommendable.

“Brilliant ”

Alvaro is a phenomenon: entertaining, empathetic, fun. With the added bonus of being a history teacher. He is a great connoisseur of the history and customs of Toulouse, which gives him a professional and personal touch different from many city tours. He managed to catch my young children, which is not easy. Congratulations Alvaro, keep it up!
