Extremely disappointed!

Rochen_H, Sep 2023

Unfortunately, it seems that they have changed this activity. The reviews that we read do not match the activity that we experienced. The meeting point for the activity changed on the last day and we ended up at a school about 15 minutes walk away. It appears that they had never run a class/activity like this before as there was no instruction or teaching (we were only informed when we were doing it wrong!) and we didn’t go home with any recipes. We did a lot of standing around and watching someone whisk. At least 45 minutes of the class was just that. There were eight of us in the course, and everyone was extremely disappointed and felt that we signed up for something much different. (it seems that whoever was in charge of that tour was more concerned about running around and getting photos of us then they were about making sure that we were having a good experience..) choose something else while you are in Florence or you will be disappointed!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear customer, we apologize that your perception of the experience was so different from what you read. Regarding the meeting point, due to the high demand for this highly regarded activity, it cannot be a single location, as we collaborate with a few carefully selected and tested chefs. Therefore, indicating a single meeting point is not possible. In this regard, we recommend arriving 15 minutes early in front of our offices, from where you will then reach the actual activity location, all of which are within a 5-minute walk. As for the explanation of the recipes, part of the lesson inevitably involves theory before getting hands-on with the cooking process. Additionally, the procedure for making gelato, once the ingredients are mixed, requires an extended mixing phase, which is often skipped for participants to have more time for questions and in-depth learning. We apologize for not providing you with the recipes before leaving the class; it was an oversight. If you would like, please contact us via email, and we will promptly send you the recipes. Best regards ACCORD Team

The Chef is very...

The Chef is very interesting! in a good way! The pizza is delicious ! The gelato so flavorful ! Loved that he gave us the recipe at the end.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear Andrea, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! We're happy you've appreciated our chef and the overall experience.

A great afternoon!

Jo_H, Sep 2023

Our cooking class was great fun! Our teacher was humorous and made the session a laugh. We learned how to make focaccia and pizza and made a pizza each. We also made sorbet and gelato and then had it all for dinner. The other guys there were also fun. Thanks for a memorable experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear Jo, I believe you have grasped the true recipe for a great meal: cooking is a wonderful experience, a moment in which we create, blend ingredients and savor something that will be shared with our loved ones or even newly met people; it's a communal moment. This aspect of our cuisine also contributes to making Mediterranean cuisine one of the healthiest! We are delighted that our instructor was able to convey all of this to you and the other participants. We sincerely hope to have you with us again for another memorable experience! Best regards ACCORD Team
