Description

So, you understand English, like the "Free Tour" format and are in Toulouse, most likely on Vacation. You'll be looking for me then! ;)
I've lived here 20 years now and have spent quite a lot of that time trying to write an Historical Fiction of this city. What does that mean for you? It means I've studied its History with a passion and have always regarded its Historical events through the lens of "How could this event best be told in narrative form?" Which is what I do. I tell stories. True stories of things that actually happened here in Toulouse. But stories, nevertheless.

On this Tour you will see…

Place du Capitole
Rue Saint Rome
Hotel Assezat
Pont Neuf
La Daurade and la Basilique
Les Jacobins
Rue de Taur
La Basilica St Sernin
And, although the History stuff does tend to wander I try to make its telling as linear as possible.

I will cover…

Medieval Toulouse
The Cathars
The Albigensian Crusade
The Inquisition
The Canal du Midi
The Revolution in Toulouse
The Great Flood of 1875
and a lot more…

I won't leave you ignorant either as to where is best to eat and drink in town and what other things there are to do.
I look forward to seeing you on the Tour.

Wonderful Experience!

Harry's tour is super interactive and he gets a lot of stories (fun ones) with his extensive knowledge of the city's history. He is such a funny but also kind gentleman! Highly recommended!

A different perspective

Really enjoyed our tour with Harry. Loved seeing different parts of the city and not just the usual sights. Harry has a really engaging, storytelling style that we loved.

Awesome tour

Harry was an exceptional tour guide. He expertly wove historical events into easy to follow stories. He is passionate about history and he absolutely loves Toulouse. The 2.5/3 hours simply wizzed by. Thank you Harry for all the thought and effort you put in to making this tour so memorable.

Great Tour

There were 11 of us on the tour from all around word. Australia, NZ, US, UK and Spain. We had a wonderful time hearing about history of Toulouse mixed with Harry’s take on things. He was highly entertaining, knowledgeable and took us to places we wouldn’t have found or gone to. Afterwards we visited Capitale and inside was amazing. Thanks for the tip Harry.
