What are people saying about Tuscany

Samuel_H, Oct 2026

Holiday highlight

I love cooking and wanted to try a cookery class. Well, I had a fantastic experience and our chef Arthur was brilliant. With 25 people he still managed to give attention to everyone and answered all our questions. His teaching method I was impressed with! The way he made every stage reachable, and the end result impressive. Thank you Arthur.

The one activiry not to miss in Florence!!

If you only do one tour while in Florence, do this one!! My husband and I booked it with friends who were in Florence at the same time, and had the absolutely best day ever!! Alexandro (hope I got that right!) and Francesca were so organized and so much fun!! We started with homemade sweets and espresso, moved onto pasta making and Prosecco, then Gnocchi…in between cooking and preparing we ate bruschetta and made sauce - honestly, all delicious and so approachable! I know I can do this at home! Oh, and I can’t forget homemade limoncello in the garden!!! Really, treat yourself with this activity - you won’t regret it!!

Tuscan Cooking Class

Authentic Tuscan cooking, WORTH IT!

This was so authentic and amazing! My husband and I joined just 2 other couples to learn under Fulvio's expert tutelage (sorry if spelled wrong). He welcomed us into his beautiful 13th century home on his olive and lavender farm. We learned how to make pasta from scratch, roll it into pici, make 2 sauces, bruschetta and even chicken saltimbocca. He was a joy to talk to and learn from. We enjoyed 3 wines as we ate, and it was great getting to know the other couples from different parts of the world. Fulvio loved poking fun yet taught us so much! This was one of our best experiences on our trip to Italy and I say to everyone - DO IT!! We had a rental car and were staying inside San Gimignano, it was only an 8 minute drive, even with the wine totally manageable.

Tagliatelle, Ravioli & Tiramisu Cooking Class with Unlimited Wine

Julia_C, Oct 2026

Cooking class

This pasta and tiramisu class was a highlight of our Florence trip. Ory made everything feel welcoming, fun, and totally doable. Even with our not-so-great cooking skills, she was patient and encouraging every step of the way. She even played Justin Bieber during class, which was a hilarious and thoughtful touch since my fiancé is a huge fan. We rolled and cut our own pasta, made a rich ragù and tiramisu, then sat down to enjoy everything with plenty of wine. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere felt like cooking with friends. Ory's warmth, humor, and passion are what made it special. Highly recommend. Book it!

We absolutely loved this pasta and tiramisu cooking class in Montepulciano! It was such a fun and authentic Tuscan experience. Learning how to make fresh pasta by hand in a local home made it feel so much more personal than a typical cooking class. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the tiramisu was the perfect finish. One of our favourite experiences in Tuscany and something we’ll definitely remember from our trip. Highly recommend!

10/10 Experience

Antonio was so kind, patient, and detailed in instructions. I felt like I left the class having new knowledge, and I’m excited to go back home to try the recipes! It was a smaller group so it was pleasant..each of us had enough space to work and there was plenty of water and alcohol to get us through. At the end, we were able to enjoy the fruits of our labor and it was delicious! Great recipes and great host, I will definitely be recommending the class to others

Siena Small group Cooking Class in a Chianti Farm

Nathanael_H, Aug 2026

We really enjoyed the...

We really enjoyed the cooking class. It is located in a beautiful village in the Tuscan countryside. We happened to be grouped with other travellers with whom we spoke extensively, and even exchanged contact info after the class. Simone was a great instructor, giving us time to rest and chat throughout the class. The food we made (ravioli and tiramisu) was tasty. The quantity of food provided was great - we all left very full. Simone also patiently and proactively accommodated my 1 year old daughter who attended the class with us. We recommend this experience to other travellers!

Venice Hands-On Bigoli Pasta Class : Cook & Taste Local Recipes

Jeff_M, Feb 2026

Great Afternoon Learning to Make Pasta

Great experience learning to make pasta with Sebastien. He met us nearby his apartment and we went back and learned a lot about making pasta. As a Venetian, he had interesting insights on the city and cooking. He has a beautiful redone kitchen with spectacular views of the canal which made the experience even more special. I would recommend this tour to any one interested in cooking and looking for something a little different in Venice.
