Pizza and Tiramisu cooking class - Francesco and Eugenia gave my wife and I a fantastic cooking class. They welcomed us unto their home with wine, and taught us to make Tiramisu and Pizza. Everything turned out amazing, and we can't wait to try their recipes in our kitchen!

Joe D - This was a wonderful opportunity to learn about Salerno while feeling very comfortable in Antonia's home. She shared wonderfully delicious foods amid a warm atmosphere. We felt at home in dining with her family. It was great experience!

Delicious 😋 - It was a lovely evening on Easter in Naples Italy. Host chef was wonderful and food was delicious 😋. Host chef also called us a cab to get back to hotel. We learned a lot and actually really enjoy fish when cooked properly. Thank you for offering this great program. Will definitely do this again!

Home dining - - Location is a bit far from where we stayed; hard to find. Even the taxi driver unable to find the house - House is ok and the owner was very friendly but not speaking English at all. Luckily she had someone there to do the translation. - Not as nice as the description about this activity. With that kind of money paid, can have better food in a nice restaurant.

Bad experience - Members in our group came down with covid. It was difficult for me to contact the tour director on the day of the class. When I was able to contact them and explain our situation they refused to compensate us for and of the portion of the class we paid.
