Must do in Florence

The hosts were lovely and more than accomodating. We took our 2 year old and all of the staff were so lovely and helpful with her and more than included her. We are so happy and the experience was one not to miss.

Fun, informative and delicious!

Great time learning to make pasta and tiramisu from scratch. Chef Vic was fantastic and very knowledgeable. Small class (14) made for easy conversation and laughs! Finished off with our delicious creations.

Great experience!

This class was such fun!!! Alice was a wonderful teacher and taught us how to make ravioli, fettuccine, bolognese sauce and tiramisu. We ate everything that we made and it was fantastic! Absolutely loved the trip to the market to buy the beef and sausage for the sauce. Incredible array of products with a cheese tasting! A+++++++ tour!

Dear Christine, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Alice will surely be very happy to hear that enjoyed her class and that you were satisfied with the fruit of your labor! It would be a pleasure for us to see you back again also in the future, with other interesting and fun cooking classes. Best regards, myTour in Italy

Must do for any foodie.

Fun atmosphere, but professional enough for us to learn and get great information. Loved learning about the market as well. Can’t wait to try out all I learned at home.
