Lunch in Naples with Laura - We had an amazing time with Laura and her beautiful family. They were all very welcoming and each dish we prepared was delicious! I did have a little trouble finding the location but I also did arrive 30 minutes ahead of my tour time so that was at no fault to Laura. I also thought that the apron we used was included in the tour but also found that this was a misprint on my booking site. I would have that changed on the reservation inclusion section on the Viator website as it could be a little misleading for clients thinking that it is included like myself. Other than those two minor things, I couldn’t have wished for a better experience!

Unique experience - We stayed at Emanuela's house, a very pleasant evening spent chatting on the terrace of this wonderful house with a spectacular view of Naples. Good traditional food accompanied by good wine and above all by the kindness, availability and passion for traditional cuisine of Emanuela and Maurizio. We felt at home, a pleasant discovery and a wonderful experience. Compliments

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!

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.
