Additional Information

Prepare yourself for the ultimate Pompeii experience on this tour! Initially, a licensed guide will lead you through Pompeii, imparting their extensive understanding and enthusiasm for the archaeological site. They’ll reveal nuances and clues that might bypass your notice on a typical stroll through the area, trust us on this! Following the tour, it’s time for ‘Pranzo Time’ (Italian for lunch)!
You’ll be heartily received at a genuine Italian home by a local ‘Mamma’. Disregard those high-end yet inauthentic cooking classes; your Mamma will enthusiastically invite you into her snug, private home where you’ll feel as though you’re sharing a meal with a family member. Instead of an impersonal hotel chef, you will delight in a genuine meal prepared by a bona fide Italian Mamma. You’ll even be encouraged to create your very own ‘perfect’ handmade pasta dough for the ‘perfect’ pasta from scratch. Without giving too much away, why not come and experience it for yourself!

Location
Hortus Pompei, Restaurant & Garden Bar
Piazza Esedra
You will be meeting your guide just in front of Hortus Restaurant, holding a sign saying THE ANCIENT POMPEII

Sabrina’s Cooking Class is the real deal - I can’t say enough good things about this experience. Pompeii was very informative and interesting but it was hot! Our guide was kind and knowledgeable. The real highlight was the cooking class with Sabrina. She was amazing. Her garden was beautiful and the food was the best we have eaten in Italy so far. It felt like more of a gathering with friends than a paid excursion. The food, the wine, the atmosphere and the company was top notch. We had a group aged from 19 to 63 and everyone loved this experience!

Incredible! A perfect half day experience - Absolutely fantastic experience, Annalisa lead us on a great tour of Pompeii and we saw things we would have otherwise missed. The cooking class with Sabrina was wonderful, she showed us her garden and taught us to make the best ravioli and cake of my life! Cannot recommend this experience enough, great value!

Home cooking at its finest - We had a beautiful time in our cooking class, learning of traditional recipes and sharing stories. It was a very warm and comfortable environment. The food was delicious and we continue to cook the recipes to this day! Thank you

Best thing we could’ve done in Pompeii! - The tour in the morning was fantastic! We had a small tour group that stayed together the entire time as we walked through the Pompeii ruins. Then, transportation was provided to the cooking class at Sofia’s house. It was so intimate as it was in her own backyard. Using ingredients from Sofia’s own garden, we made the best ravioli and cake, and we drank wine homemade by Sofia’s family. She was so kind and helpful and we enjoyed just sitting and speaking with her alongside the cooking experience. Would highly recommend! Much more fun than a larger-style cooking class in the city. After our meal, a driver picked us up and took us back to the train station. Overall, a great value and must-do in Pompeii!

Lovely cooking experience in Pompeii - What a great experience with our hosts! Pompeii was stunning and I feel like our guide made us see the highlights and skipped things were not worth to visit in the amount of time we had! Her English was phenomenal! The cooking class was the best experience we have done so far!! Our hosts were so funny and it looked like we have known them for years! We shared a lot of stories and we had fun making pasta (if you've never done it before, no worries, they put you at ease in 2 sec). Thanks for this special day! Can't wait to make ravioli and pasta back home!
