Excellent. Kindness of assunta and her husband. I understood all as she how to make and cook the ravioli and the bruschetta. We dined outside . Such a wonderful experience. Assunta totally enjoys sharing her knowledge and techniques.

Silvia was so welcoming,...

Viator mishandled this entire tour reservation. They are considering returning $300 to me for an adventure that never happened. I spent hours on the phone with them and was disconnected twice with no call back to me. The host was very gracious about the change. I am a loyal customer who has enjoyed Viator in the past I was very disappointed.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Sandy, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear about the frustration caused by the reservation handling. As hosts, we always do our best to be flexible and supportive when unexpected changes happen, and we’re glad this was felt on the day. However, booking management and refunds are handled directly by the platform. We sincerely hope the situation is resolved quickly for you and that we may have the chance to welcome you on a future experience under much smoother circumstances.
