Memorable day in Tuscany - Everything was memorable- the market tour, food samples, minibus ride and cooking class with wine in the gorgeous Tuscan countryside. Luca the tour guide/instructor was funny and engaging, and Karmella the cooking instructor was also very charming. We had a great time learning new recipes and sampling local delicacies. My only suggestion would be if the tour could return to the starting point at the station rather than ending at a different location in the city.

Absolutely fantastic, highlight of our trip - This class was the highlight of our trip - the hosts were so full of joy and love, they were an absolute delight. We loved seeing where the produce came from at the markets, and even went back to the markets the next day to do more cooking. The class itself was fantastic, fun and so delicious, and the location just beautiful. I’d recommend this tour to every person coming to Florence !

Tuscan Farmhouse, Pasta Making Course and Lunch - This was an excellent experience. First was a market tour were we bought the local food for our cooking class, then a bus ride to the Farmhouse overlooking a beautiful valley of olive trees and wine vines (great picture opportunity). Gloria was out tour guide, she was special as not only the tour guide, but chef interpreter and chef as well!!! Gloria and our chef for the day Lucia were a awesome team. The course was certainly hands on as much as you would like. We made almost everything from scratch, pasta sauce, pasta, Bruschetta, tiramisu and even prepared the roast (of course we sampled the wine as well!). Then we sat for dinner, so delicious. The recipe was emailed to us later and we made the same from scratch!! The Tuscan Farmhouse with Gloria and Lucia is unforgettable!!!!

Beautiful Day. - Exciting cooking event. Luca took us to the market first then up to their private space overlooking south west facing hills. Complete with Olive Trees, and wonder views, it was a great time for me and my son. This is my second time on the same tour with WalkAbout and I donut again next time I’m in Florence. ST

Entertaining, educational, and so much fun! - Such a fun trip—Luca was a star, both entertaining and educational. Carmela was a force in the kitchen and felt so welcoming, even when I didn’t know what I was doing. The food and recipes were top notch and the setting couldn’t have been more gorgeous. 10/10 from a solo female traveler.

Great fun with Luca and Carmela! - I booked this tour on some reviews and we were not disappointed! It’s our first time in Italy and my kids asked for something to do with cooking. Luca and Carmela made us feel like part of their family. It was relaxed and so much fun, and tasty! If it can make my kids have a good time, I have to give it a great review. Don’t miss out and scroll past this option. Great information, great location and great people! Buon appetito!
