Pizza and Gelato Making Class in Rome

Donna_M, Mar 2026

Fun and Tasty

Our family of 5 adults so enjoyed this class. We learned a lot from Guilio who was also very entertaining and accommodating to my diet preferences. The consensus was that the pizzas we made were the best we’d had in Italy! Thank you, Guilio, for sharing your culinary skills with us.

VIP Vatican Breakfast and Guided Tour with Sistine Chapel Access

Marlene_M, Feb 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do NOT Attempt the Vatican Without This Tour

This tour was absolutely exceptional — and worth every penny. When we arrived at the Vatican and saw thousands of people waiting in line, I immediately thought, “This is not for me.” The crowds were overwhelming. But our guide, Sarah, calmly reassured us — and she was right. Within minutes, we were seamlessly escorted through with express access, moving efficiently through every museum in the Vatican. At each point, the process was smooth, organized, and impressively expedited despite the massive crowds. Sarah was fantastic — knowledgeable, engaging, and confident. She navigated the Vatican with expertise and kept the group moving comfortably without ever feeling rushed. The breakfast experience was such a unique and elevated touch. Sitting inside the Vatican for a generous, delicious breakfast — rather than outside in crowded cafés — made the entire morning feel exclusive and special. The selection was bountiful and satisfying, and the setting made it unforgettable. If you are even considering visiting the Vatican, do not attempt it on your own. Book this tour. The express entry alone is invaluable, and the guided experience elevates everything. Highly, highly recommend.

Rome: Pizza Making Class Small Group Experience

Kathleen_B, Nov 2025

The Best Pizza Class in Rome

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our pizza-making class with Chef Carlo was the highlight of our trip! He’s a warm, funny, and passionate teacher who made the art of Neapolitan pizza both easy and unforgettable. From mixing the dough to stretching, topping, and baking in the wood-fired oven, every step was hands-on and joyful. The fresh ingredients and friendly atmosphere made it feel like cooking with family. We learned authentic techniques we’ll use at home and shared one of the best pizzas we’ve ever tasted. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rome — Carlo is simply the best!

Cooking Class in Rome: Chef in a Day

Jennifer_C, Jul 2025

Educational and Delicious Day in Rome

We highly recommend this class. Our family of 5 (ages 18-60) wanted to learn a little about making Italian food. Paula taught us so much. We learned more than following recipes. We learned cooking techniques, ways to adjust recipes for seasonal ingredients, and reasons for why things are done when making pasta and sauces. It was a fun day and we enjoyed 3 pasta dishes plus a yummy seasonal dessert. We are definitely going to use all we have learned when we get home. The trip to the market was also a great experience. We would do this again if we were staying longer.

Guide was amazing with her knowledge and witty jokes as the temps were close to 100F. She gave us sun breaks in the shadows as she talked. Best part is we were able to skip all the longlines through security and different checkpoints. As there were children-she was able to change meanings- very mindful.

Great evening tour of the city with great food stops.

We had great time and Andrea was fantastic guide. We had the evening tour, and went through various areas getting historical background. There was quite enough food and drinks available that will leave you full! These group tours are usually what you make of it, so strike up conversations with those in your group.

Not seeing something you are looking for?

The Eternal City is a treasure trove of top bucket list contenders. But, if you’re the kind of traveler who likes to venture off the beaten path and learn something in the process, consider Rome unique experiences. Whether you have an afternoon or an entire day, you can train at gladiator school, practice the ancient art of mosaic-making, or set off on a spine-tingling midnight ghost tour. These memorable adventures reward the curious traveler with exceptional memories and showcase sides of the city that most tourists, and even some locals, never experience.
