Jon and Victoria were two amazing teachers and chefs. We all got to work with both of our hands. Freshly made pasta was much better than store bought! 10/10 , would recommend to anyone coming to Florence.

Be right on time, because they won't let you in early and you'll have to wait on the side of the road. The cooking experience was fun, the chef spoke English with an Italian accent. We got to enjoy pizza with generous toppings we added ourselves, gelato, and unlimited wine.

Noemí was our instructor and she did a fantastic job. The class was fun and relaxed, and the food was really good but it felt like a long wait to eat since we got up very early to go to the market and cooked four courses before we got to eat anything. One piece of constructive criticism would be to have a sign at the meet up spot for people to know where to find you. We had to ask around before finding the correct group.

Did a day trip to Pisa, Siena, and San Gimignano — and wow, Tuscany really knows how to show off. 🌻✨ Pisa was all about the iconic Leaning Tower moment. Even if you’ve seen it in photos a thousand times, seeing it in person still hits different. 📸 Siena surprised me the most — such a beautiful medieval city with so much character. Walking through its narrow streets felt like stepping back in time. The cathedral? Stunning. And San Gimignano… easily the highlight. Those towers, the view, the vibe — it’s like a fairytale hilltop town frozen in the most magical way. Plus, the gelato? Chef’s kiss. 🍨 If you’re exploring Tuscany, this trio is a must. Each place has its own charm, and together they make a perfect, unforgettable day. ❤️🇮🇹

The Tuscany day trip was amazing! The itinerary was well planned, covering Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa all in one day. The guide was knowledgeable, the views were beautiful, and the lunch was authentic and delicious. Highly recommended!

The line to enter the church was very long, and the Italian tour guide had a very strong accent. If you're a native Mandarin speaker, you'll need to pay close attention to understand the explanations 😇. However, being able to skip the long line in the Italian heat and enter directly is worth the price of admission! I highly recommend this tour.

The trip was great! We only had a few days to explore Italy, and this trip allowed us to check out the iconic landmarks of Pisa and Florence in a day. Of course, these cities have a lot to offer and experience, but it was enough, especially with the limited time we had. As you may know, a tour is only as good as the guide and our driver, and here: Aaron and Giuseppe respectively, and I felt that I was able to appreciate the place more knowing about its history before I came to see it. Like I'd hear it on the bus on the way to the city, and I'd see it in front of me—knowing its significance and importance—made it all much more meaningful. It really did. Go get this tour if you want a taste of these beautiful cities, and come back to them when you can. But you won't regret this. I definitely don't, and I'm left with a feeling of wanting to return when I can.
