A informative tide

Darlene_S, Jun 2026
The experience was great. The information was very informative and interesting. The seats were pretty comfortable. The driver was very nice. The recording could be better. The music was way to Loud then the speaker would be to soft the music could really hurt my ears

Marvelous Toulouse

Debora_C, May 2026
Wonderful overview of beautiful Toulouse!! I enjoyed the tour immensley, however, my travel companion wears hearing aides and really struggled with the ear pieces working for her.

Good experience

Jigyasa_K, Nov 2024
Overall good experience, bus was on time and the audio guide was enough. The bus showed the major sights and covered old part of the city in 40mins. Driver was courteous. However, this is not a hop-on-hop-off experience so one cannot get on or off at will.

Good Basic Introduction to Toulouse for Visitors

Kathy_J, Oct 2024
This bus tour introduced us to Toulouse. The sound system was not very good- I sat at the edge of the overhead covering and open space- so sit inside the covering to hear better. There was a map of the area to be toured which was very helpful. This is a good initial experience before you start your trip visiting the sites in Toulouse. It is reasonable priced.

Concept was good, could have been much better.

Lew_M, Aug 2024
Toured main sights but difficult to establish where we were. If provided with a route map would have provided more perspective and made it easy to return to sites of interest.

Pretty Pink city tour ( except it’s more orange)

Janet_S, Jul 2024
Small tour bus with different language options To be fair there’s not a lot to see in Toulouse -but the driver happily navigated around in under an hour

Calm experience

Jeli_P, Jun 2024
Great way to see the city! The driver was friendly and punctual and the English audio was easy to understand. We used this as a way to learn about which parts of the city we wanted to explore more.

A useful guide

Anne_P, May 2024
This was a useful way of finding out about the major attractions in Toulouse. The weather was dreadful so the seating was covered over, but we had good all round vision.

A good introduction to a city

Karen_H, May 2024
The city is beautiful and the bus tour did a great job of showing this to us. Although the tour is advertised as a hop on/hop off bus, this really isn’t correct. No one got on or off and the wait for the next bus would’ve been an hour and a half, so trying to sightsee would’ve been Ill advised. However, since the trip lasted only one hour it was fine. The driver was great.

Quick informative trip

Raman_P, Apr 2024
It was a quick one hour trip with interesting narration about many things in Toulouse. Worthwhile introduction, but you'll still have to walk around to really see things up close.

Relaxing, informative 1hr tour.

monica_w, Apr 2024
Nice 1 hr drive around the city as everyone spoke English it was coming over the loud speaker rather than having to use the ear plugs. Nice helpful driver getting my son’s foldable wheelchair on to the bus. Nice and relaxing with lots of pretty places to see.

Good overall view of the city

John_F, Mar 2024
Well run, friendly driver, and gives you a good basic view of where everything is in the city. Clean bus, clear windows, and good sound system...

Fantastic Way To See Toulouse!

Michael_R, Feb 2024
What a fantastic way to learn about Toulouse! The bus was brand new, the driver was extremely courteous and the view was perfect!

Anwesa_S, Nov 2023
The tour bus gave me an overview of the city. The narration while travelling was really great and helpful. Loved the overall experience.

Disappointing and underwhelming

Ann_C, Oct 2023
Disappointing tour content with not many interesting sights or stories. The bus driver was very pleasant mannerly and helpful .

Good value for price

Brian_M, Nov 2022
This was an enjoyable tour for a family. The bus seems to hold about 20 people, but is comfortable. The audio guide was fine. At 70 minutes, it was a good quick overview of Toulouse that we used to get an idea of what we would go see later.

Easy fast snapshot for later exploring

Kevin_B, Oct 2022
Punctual multi lingual (French English Spanish) driver who was very helpful and friendly getting everyone settled with their ear listening devices. There are multiple language choices on the prerecorded track that corresponds with the route. The tour was quick, lasting a little over an hour, but it’s an excellent overview that allows you to decide what you want to see later in depth.

Good overall tour.

Lorenzo_R, Oct 2022
A good overview for someone who's never been to Toulouse is this tour's best quality. It shares the different parts of the city and its highlights.

Take this Tour

Suzette_O, Aug 2022
Highly recommend! ⭐️ It was so quick and easy to book the excursion. Easy to find the meeting point- a clear sign for the location which is very helpful!! Shared important facts & information about the area. Made us feel welcome and want to explore more of the city. Great way to see the whole city! Take this tour!

Find a Better Tour

gilbertcohen, Apr 2022
The bus moved so quickly that it was difficult to focus on anything. Also, the narration was provided by recording through ear plugs that were provided. The audio was difficult to hear so frequently we did not now was being said. Did not ever stop to allow photos. A waste of time and money.

Not impressed!

Larry_K, Oct 2018
Difficulty in finding starting location; On/Off locations were not identified anywwhere! Because of seasonal schedule, we were unable to "stay on bus". We had to exit at starting location and reboard an hour later , if we wished to continue...

The Driver was very good, courteous...

Maxwell_E, Sep 2017
The Driver was very good, courteous and friendly. However the recorded commentary that we heard on our headsets by a lady was quite poor. It was just rattling away various peoples names and years etc. On a 60-90 minute tour unless you are a 'history' student you can absorb this history lesson. What I would suggest is to cut out the history part and when the bus approach or passes a point just say this is the Toulouse University, This is the Library, This is the State Parliament - occasionally a detailed description is acceptable.When I got off the bus my head was knotted like a ball of thread with all dates etc. The driver had a chat to us and he too agreed that the commentary is more catered to History loving people rather than the average traveler who just want to be told the iconic places.

The trip gives you some highlights...

Tamara S, Oct 2016
The trip gives you some highlights of Toulouse. It shows you some places what you definetly did not put on your visit list.

Agréable et intéressant

annemarie_t, Oct 2024
Ponctuel, sécuritaire et plaisant. Les commentaires sur l’audio guide sont intéressants et la qualité du son est impeccable.

Découverte et redécouverte

Nadine_B, May 2024
Bien qu'originaire de Toulouse, j'ai appris encore des choses avec le commentaire audio qui reste accessible pour tous. Mais on reste sur notre faim car tous les moments musicaux pourraient être mis à profit pour donner des informations générales sur l'histoire de Toulouse.

Décevant

Sandrine_T, Apr 2024
C aurait pu être bien mais les commentaires n étaient pas calés au bon moment. Et la plupart du temps on ne savait pas ce qu on regardait. Dommage la ville est toutefois très jolie.

Belle expérience que le tour de Toulouse en minibus à l'impériale

RoseAnne_L, Mar 2024
C'est un tour complet qui nous montre les principaux sites à visiter de Toulouse, ce qui nous a permis d'avoir une bonne vue d'ensemble et de revenir ensuite à pied explorer davantage les sites principaux. La taille du minibus est plus agréable que les grands bus. Notre chauffeur était très sympathique et amusant.

Genial, totalmente recomendado

Yassenka_C, Nov 2022
Muy entretenido e informativo. Genial para turistas que buscan saber más sobre una ciudad sin perderse o perder el tiempo. Fantástico el poder escoger entre distintos idiomas. El único problema fue que a veces se cortaba el audio, o se escuchaba mal, o no iba tan de la mano con el paisaje (levemente adelantado o atrasado). El resto, perfecto

Es war sehr langweilig...

Ursula_H, Jun 2022
Es war sehr langweilig gestaltet, das hatte man auch mit einem Linienbus machen können oder zu Fuß. Wir waren 4 Tage in Toulouse und wollten Inspiration. Diese Stunde hätten wir uns sparen können.

Sympa mais...

ALINE_M, Jun 2019
Nous avons réservé pour 5 adultes et 1 enfant de 6 ans. Nous avions eu la chance de faire cette activité sur Paris. Il y a quelques différences entre les 2. Tout d'abord entre les explications il serait agréable de prévoir des musiques de tout style afin de patienter en musique. C'est toujours plus sympa. Nous avons trouvé que le trajet était assez court c'est un peu dommage nous voulions en voir davantage car nous ne connaissions pas Toulouse. Nous avons eu un soleil magnifique ce jour là et mon groupe ne vas pas oublier cette balade.
