Full description

You will learn how to create hand-made fresh pasta, following the traditional Italian style of pasta-making, filled with seasonal vegetables, meat, or both. You will also learn to make lovely, delicate Italian cookies, and a decadent Venetian creamy dessert.

La guide était très intéressante et le tour en gondole parfait. Pas trop long, car je me serais ennuyée, le passage dans les canaux au début, puis un petit passage dans le Grand Canal, juste devant la Basilica Santa Maria della Salute. Ces gondoliers font un travail remarquable ! Et le petit plus que j'ai adoré : l'expérience de réalité virtuelle au début de l'activité, dans une boutique tout près du lieu de rendez vous, pour nous plonger dans l'histoire des gondoles de Venise à travers le temps

I am a great believer in using guides on visits to places I haven't visited before as they are able to provide history and context to a place. The visit to the glass blowing factory in Murano was very interesting and we particularly enjoed our tour of Burano and having some free time to wander there too.
