Really good cooking and markets activity. Our guide was an excellent chef and teacher. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Could have benefited from a better introduction at the meeting place (and also an on-time arrival), but the essence of the activity was excellent.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review, and thank you for joining us for our experience at Florence’s Central Market with our traditional Italian cooking class. We hope to see you again soon in our kitchens for all our other traditional Italian cooking classes. Chefactory Cooking Academy
Incredible cooking and experience! Noemi greeted us in the square and took us on a tour of the market and explained so much about local foods, shopping habits and market offerings before we’re headed to chef school for our cooking lesson! WOW! So much more that we could have expected!! The menu was incredible and we were really able to cook ourselves! Noemi taught us to cook like real chefs! We made a full course meal! And we ate things I would never think to make and it was phenomenal! Winter bruschetta, chicken Marsala, spinach ravioli- (yes! Homemade pasta! And finished with tiramisu! Incredible!! So grateful were took the time in there this gorgeous city for such a special experience! Noemi was a GEM!!

There is a lot of standing and walking in this tour. The tastings at the huge market were interesting and the chef was fun to work with. Learned so much!
Hello from Chefactory, we are glad that you enjoyed our cooking class and food market tour. Unfortunately, it is true that it is a cooking class, but please remember that we provide chairs so that you can follow the lesson while seated if you get tired, with breaks where you can drink some good wine offered by us without feeling too full, as the lesson lasts a few hours. Anyway, thank you very much for your review.
We loved doing the whole experience from going to the market buying produce, tasting, cooking and the finally eating!

Francesco was awesome. Very personable, friendly and informative. Shopping at tahe market was fun with tastings and interesting background information provided by Francesco. The cooking class was fun, we learned some knife skills and practical tips which help to shorten prep and cooking times. The 4-course menu we prepared was very tasty.

Thank you so much for this review and for your kindness in choosing our Chefactory Market Tour in Florence+ 4 courses Cooking class ! We hope to see you again taken in the wonderful Florence and CHEFACTORY COOKING ACADEMY FIRENZE classes.
This was my favorite tour while visiting Italy. Entailed a lot of walking, which I wasn't expecting. From the meeting location, the tour was broken up into 2 groups and we proceed to walk to the amazing market. All I can say is WOW! I wish I had one of these markets near me. After touring the market, sampling some stuff and picking up some supplies, it was a significant walk to Chefactory. We had such a wonderful time making a 4 course meal, which included making fresh pasta. Our tour guides/chefs were wonderful throughout the entire tour. Our absolutely delicious 4 course meal was server to us along with wine. Everyone in the group, including the men were talking about how much they enjoyed the tour and how good everything was. I would definitely recommend this tour and would do it again.
