Excellent

Published on Jan, 2025

Maria was so personable and knowledgeable. She explained each step very simply and her English was awesome. Its worth the ride outside of Florence to get a view of an Italian life putside of the city. Recipes were easy to follow and tasted divine! This is worth your visit!

Memorable day in Tuscany

Published on Jan, 2025

Everything was memorable- the market tour, food samples, minibus ride and cooking class with wine in the gorgeous Tuscan countryside. Luca the tour guide/instructor was funny and engaging, and Karmella the cooking instructor was also very charming. We had a great time learning new recipes and sampling local delicacies. My only suggestion would be if the tour could return to the starting point at the station rather than ending at a different location in the city.

Absolutely fantastic, highlight of our trip

Published on Jan, 2025

This class was the highlight of our trip - the hosts were so full of joy and love, they were an absolute delight. We loved seeing where the produce came from at the markets, and even went back to the markets the next day to do more cooking. The class itself was fantastic, fun and so delicious, and the location just beautiful. I’d recommend this tour to every person coming to Florence !
