Must do in Florence

The hosts were lovely and more than accomodating. We took our 2 year old and all of the staff were so lovely and helpful with her and more than included her. We are so happy and the experience was one not to miss.

Great experience!

This class was such fun!!! Alice was a wonderful teacher and taught us how to make ravioli, fettuccine, bolognese sauce and tiramisu. We ate everything that we made and it was fantastic! Absolutely loved the trip to the market to buy the beef and sausage for the sauce. Incredible array of products with a cheese tasting! A+++++++ tour!

Must do for any foodie.

Fun atmosphere, but professional enough for us to learn and get great information. Loved learning about the market as well. Can’t wait to try out all I learned at home.

Our Confirmation was Cancelled

We booked this tour through Viator weeks ahead of time and received a message that our confirmation would be cancelled because there was a problem in their system. I had to scramble to find another tour for a cooking class. They need to correct the system so this doesn’t continue to happen. I do not recommend booking this tour.

Operator response

Dear Martha, We're very sorry for the cancellation of the cooking class. We always want to make sure to have everything in our reservation system working correctly, so please understand that it was a seldom case. Please accept our sincere apologies, we are constantly working hard to provide you with the best services, so we will ensure that a case like this does not repeat in the future. We hope to be able to demonstrate to you in another occasion that we are really willing to offer the highlights of Tuscan tradition and experiences through our activities. Best regards, myTour in Italy

Make sure you call and double check the address!!!

The cooking class was super fun but... We were sent the wrong address of location to meet, which made us late to the market tour. We never got the recipe book we were promised, even though they took our emails to do so The only reason I leave a low review is because after reading more reviews after taking the class we were not the only people to have these issues. I hope they would fix them after the first time someone had them.

Tasty Introduction to Florence

Loved our chef ,Tommaso. Friendly, knowledgable and helpful. The tour of the market was fun,, though a bit hard to hear if you stood in the back, He arranged a tasting that was a nice surprise at the cheese counter Back at the cooking school the pace was pleasant and easy to follow. I am confident I cam make the dishes at home Great lesson, great value for money. Be sure to confirm meeting address with tour operator in a Florence . Viator sent us wrong address

Great way to fall more in love with Florence

Excellent experience! We cook a lot, but we really enjoyed the market tour, watching the demonstration, making pasta and tiramisu. Tommaso was fantastic!
