    Excellent tour, excellent guide .Harry is a great mixture of historian , wit, raconteur and has lived in Toulouse for over 20 years .Harry explains his tour is slightly different, he will take you into an unusual Basilica, but leave the more ordinary ones for you to visit yourself . He paints history with modern phrases and transports you to what life must have been like in 1300, 1400 etc . Really friendly , great knowledge about the tour, lots of great advice about what else to see, where to eat .

    Harry is a well versed super fun guru who walks and talks history. He speaks with a passion in his voice and eyes unlike many gurus and reels you into his style of story telling. A great lesson in history and a wonderful way to explore the beautiful city of Toulouse on foot! Wonderful anecdotes and a great sense of drama and humour make Harry one of the best gurus I've seen in Europe.

    "Horrible Histories for Adults" and much funnier than the kids' version. Superb tour from Harry - incredible stories about the history of Toulouse and the escapades of its residents told with highly irreverent and great humour. A fantastic morning and a super way to see the city. Brilliant. Book now. Pix: just a taster of some of the places you'll see where tales will be told.

    Harry met us with a good welcome and we felt straight away that we had made a good choice. Although not a native of France Harry was well versed in the history of Toulouse. He made the the tour just right for the casual tourist and explained the historic background of the area/sites in an informative way. The whole experience was just right for us. Harry is a very likeable fellow.

    We had such an enjoyable experience! Our tour guide Harry offered insights into what there was to see, while trying to show us as much as he could of Toulouse. He has an enthusiastic style that made those two hours fly by! I highly recommend this tour! Also recommend to bring along plenty of water if you're taking this tour in Summer

    First time I give a review during a walking tour. We have a break and I need to give back and share with other a Toulouse delight, Harry’s tour. OMG I’m learning so much, laughing so much and all of that make life better. I knew most of the subject (being born in France), well guess what, I learned so much details that create links between all the subject. It’s a free tour interpreted by a historien written, that love Toulouse and it history. Oups forget the most important, he love people and you can feel it. Voted best walking your in Europe (by me)

    Took this free walking tour with Harry and it was a total game-changer. Instead of the usual tour spiel, Harry's got this unique spin on Toulouse's history that's probably thanks to his background as a historical fiction writer. Every stop was cool, but the stories were the real deal. The guy's super knowledgeable and you can tell he's passionate about sharing Toulouse's tales. Highly recommend if you're looking for something different and memorable.

    Great tour and Harry's passion for the history of Toulouse is amazing. He also made great recommendations ahead of our visit for various things which worked out well. Thank you.

    We loved our tour with Harry today. Passionate about Toulouse, and it’s history and architecture. He was engaging, funny and very informative. Very lucky to have stumbled across his tour. Couldn’t recommend it more. Keep it up mate, thanks.

    Don't miss out this incredible tour, tips based, with Harry!! So much knowledge + great humor, so litte time, but this tour is longer than most tours I've been to. You wil thank me later 💖

  • 5/5 Maie B. 7 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    The Free Walking Tour with Harry was great and unique. Within three hours we learned a lot about the city and especially about the corners that are outside the tourist spots. You can tell that Harry is passionate about what he does and his way of telling the stories of the city doesn't make the tour boring at all. A wonderful way to explore the city of Toulouse. Thank you very much, dear Harry!

  • 5/5 Emmi W. 3 years ago on Google
    Harry was so enthusiastic and fascinated by the history of Toulouse that it was truly a pleasure to listen to him. I learnt many things, from the ancien history of the city to random facts, and he also gave tips about the best food places! Would strongly recommend, whether you are visiting for a day or staying in Toulouse for a longer time. Although 2 hours might seem like a lot at first it went by so quickly because it was very interesting. One can directly notice that Harry really likes his job and it makes the whole difference! Thank you Harry for this wonderful tour.

  • 5/5 Dylan A. 4 years ago on Google
    Special, amazing, fascinating. You’re a tourist. You want a tour by a passionate, authentic guide. Harry is that guide. Aside from being an extremely likable and interesting person, his passion has led him to become a detective of lesser known but extremely valuable history the likes of which you may never meet again. This tour will leave you speechless.

  • 5/5 Yael N. 1 year ago on Google
    Enthusiasm!! That’s the perfect word to describe the free walking tour Harry gave of Toulouse! Along the walking tour Harry provided vivid explanations that really set the tone of the city throughout history, and his storytelling is so excited that you can’t help but get sucked into Toulouse’s history. From the days of the Roman Empire, through the Middle Ages, Cathar Inquisitions and the city’s constant growing wealth - this tour will cover everything you’d want to know about the city. Extra added bonus - Harry provides great recommendations for places to eat, drink, see and chill. To sum things up, I definitely recommend this tour for anyone who is new to the city, or wants to learn a bit more about its history! I’m sure that with Harry you’ll have a very very wonderful experience!!!

    I have done walking tours all around the world and this was undoubtedly the best. Harry is a wealth of knowledge, a great character and very funny. Having lived in Toulouse for around 20 years, he brings you to non-touristy places and tells local stories. He is a wealth of knowledge and knew the history behind every statue, building and street which the group asked about.

  • 5/5 Joanne T. 4 years ago on Google
    Harry is a brilliant story teller. He knows his history so well and you can see that he is passionate about Toulouse and its history. He gave us a fantastic tour - highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Manic M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best walking tours I've been on in Europe. Harry's a great story-teller, an ex-historian and writer who manages to weave together stories from all eras of Toulouse back to the Romans with the city as it is today, while keeping the group laughing throughout. A fun few hours of walking and history that will really give you another layer of appreciation for the city, and Harry gives a list of recommendations of all the best places to eat, drink and enjoy the city that he knows from 20 years of loving this city.

  • 5/5 Eliza F. 2 years ago on Google
    Harry was an incredible tour guide. He had extensive knowledge on Toulouse and the history. His stories were engaging and interesting, we could have listened to him all day! HIGHLY recommend doing one of his tours!

  • 5/5 Kate 2 years ago on Google
    Harry is a wonderful guide! He is super friendly, personable, and has excellent stories about the history of Toulouse. We really enjoyed our tour with him, and would definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 AL P. 1 year ago on Google
    Glad we took this tour with Harry this morning. He is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable, I could have listened to him even longer. I liked that the group was intimate, not huge numbers like some tours. We learnt so much. He gave us a good idea of the landmarks in Toulouse. He is passionate about his subject. A must.

  • 5/5 Laura M. 2 years ago on Google
    Harry is an excellent guide. He was perfectly prepared and his utterance was well articulated. We've got to know information and stories about Toulouse which we would have no time to search for or we couldn't even find. The length (~2 and a half hours) is just perfect for this kind of activity. His enthusiasm was immersive and we couldn't help but smile when he told us funny tales. I can only recommend his tour to everybody who visits Toulouse.

  • 5/5 B B. 2 years ago on Google
    Harry brought the spirit of Toulouse to life with his vivid storytelling. He doesn’t just share the mixed history of the city or tell fun anecdotes, but tries to really engage with the groups via fun modern day references to give more context. I’ve been on a lot of walking tours and his tour has continued to be one that truly stands out. Learned so much about the dark past that fueled the crusades and the no longer forgotten Cathars. Its clear he loves what he does and I’m glad he digresses into so many fun tidbits. It’s a must do if your in the beautiful city of Toulouse.

  • 5/5 alicia s. 1 year ago on Google
    Harry’s tour was easily my favourite part of my trip to Toulouse, and probably the best free walking tour I’ve ever taken! Harry is a really excellent guide - he has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Toulouse and other fun facts, and he is an amazing storyteller that really engages you. Definitely join his tour if you’re in Toulouse, you’ll learn loads about the culturally significant places that typical tourist blogs / sites won’t tell you about, and you’ll have loads of fun 👍

  • 5/5 Chelsea S. 4 years ago on Google
    We’ve been on quite a few walking tours throughout Europe (free and paid), but this Toulouse tour by Harry was by far the best and most memorable. Harry is passionate, knowledgeable, hilarious and just a downright great person doing something that he obviously loves. He brings you to all the highlights of the beautiful little city and shares his own perspectives in conjunction with fascinating historical events that have transpired in Toulouse throughout the centuries. Harry - a huge thank you, you are one of the nicest people we have met in our travels and we could not have had a better time! You’ve made us fall in love with Toulouse. Merci beaucoup ❤️

  • 5/5 Sara B. 4 years ago on Google
    A great way to get a thorough overview of Toulouse! Harry's ability to weave history (sometimes several centuries back) into casual conversation was fantastic. We were a smaller group, so he was able to really tailor it - asking us what kind of information we were looking to gain.
