      Do not book here! Book through Nessun Dorma

      Sarah_P, Apr 2023
      The pesto making experience was excellent. Booking it through Viator was a huge mistake. You can book directly through Nessun Dorma for 80 Euro each. We paid an additional 130 Euro to book through this tour. Do not do it.

      Response from Host, May 2023

      You would not have even been able to attend this activity if you had not booked it here through us. The activity was already fully booked. Fortunately for you, our company has privileged access to join the course even when fully booked. Most people don't stay in the Cinque Terre for a long duration so appreciate the opportunity to experience an event they would not have otherwise been able to do so ! Please also consider that Viator include around 30 % commission in your booking so although you say it was a mistake to book here the alternative is not being able to attend at all ! Apart form the obvious benefit of a guaranteed place, you are also booking with one of the few official licensed tour operators in the Cinque Terre which also includes insurance etc.

      Amazing views! Wonderful experience

      We absolutely loved this experience! Simone provided history and great instruction. The service team was fun and friendly. Met friendly people, enjoyed the view, and look forward to making pesto at home. Highly recommend!!

      Let's Pesto with Simon in Cinque Terra!

      Ralph_J, Jul 2022
      Simon, the owner of Let's Pesto! was fabulous. When he realized we were an hour late, he personally set us up and gave us a personal course! It was excellent excellent and we ate our own hand-made pesto sauce! (We were late due to a three-hour train ride and lack of support from Viator.)

      Sureal location, wonderful food, and excellent staff.

      View was perfection. This is a very popular restaurant that often has several hour waiting times, so if you don't have much time in Manarola this a a great way to guarantee a spot with no waiting. The class was informative and the lunch was delicious. The owner, Simon, teaches the class and is a very wholesome guy with a great story about the place. The other staff members are great and excited to be there. I recognize the class is one of the more expensive options for something like this, but it was worth every cent. Highly recommend!
