Never Made It

Confirm your itinerary multiple times. Briefly we arrived early to learn our reservation was changed; a 10 am bus tour for a winery tour and pasta making was changed to a 9am walking tour. Tour guide had me speak with their office, but I guess I didn’t ask enough questions prior to our trek thru the streets of Florence. Overall a disappointing day.

Unforgettable experience.

Our experience was wonderful. Would highly recommend this to any traveller interested in learning how to make yummy and authentic Italian food. Beautiful scenery as well. The tour guides and cooks were excellent, very friendly, informative and fun to learn with. Eleonora, Francesco, and Cristina - our warmest thank you for the unforgettable experience.

Best hosts and best experience

The BEST experience ever!!! My trip Would have not been the same without this class and Letizia, Francisco, and Francesca were such great hosts and made us feel right at home. We made two types of pasta and gelato and they accommodated for me being a vegetarian. The people in the class were also so much fun. Highly recommend doing this on your trip to Italy!!

Although we ended up with...

Although we ended up with a little booking mishap (the tour start time was changed and we weren’t notified by Viator), the WalkAbout Tour guides worked with us to get us on another experience same-day! And I’m honestly grateful that it happened the way we did, because we ended up on the “ Pasta & Pesto Class with a View, plus Tiramisù & optional Local Market Tour from Florence” tour and it was absolutely amazing! Stefania and Erica were so much fun. They were engaging, very knowledgeable, and helpful. We learned a lot of new cooking skills and Erica and Stefania added so much fun and personality to the class. We are so grateful to them for such a wonderful experience! The pasta and tiramisu were amazing as well as the wine. The view from the kitchen was amazing. Would definitely do this tour again and recommend it to friends!
