Enjoyed the class immensely. Instructor was informative and made the class fun. It was enjoyable to sit down to dinner with a group of people who were strangers when we arrived and friends by the time we left.

Interacting with Gus and the other participants. Gus made it very comfortable for us to learn and interact with each other. In addition, he was very accommodating, even though we showed up late.

We had a lot of fun with Gustavo making our four course meal. We were a group of 8 and had a couple who don’t really cook. No experience necessary, everyone is able to participate and learn. The end results were delicious. Will remake again and again.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear customer, Thank you for your feedback. Happy to hear that you enjoyed yourselves during the time in the cooking class and liked the Gustavo's hardwork. Hope to have you again in our other tours in the future, in order to give you more enjoyable experiences like this one and learn more great italian dishes. Best regards, My Tour in Italy team.

This class was such a fun experience for my husband and I. Our instructor was very personable and knowledgeable! The food we made was delicious (although my husband and I did not care for the dessert- cantucci- personal preference) and we’re very excited to keep the recipes! The only things I did not like were at the beginning they tried to get us to leave our belongings in the front meeting room. While they promised our stuff would be safe, my bag (very expensive in itself) had our passports, cash, credit cards, and phones in it. Not something I was willingly going to leave behind under the supervision of a camera, esp with multiple other classes that would be in that room. I opted to cook with it on. They should specify you will not be able to take your bag, jacket, etc into the room you’ll be in. Also, while wine IS technically included- 2 bottles of wine split between 10-12 adults does not go far!
