Unforgetable experience!... - Unforgetable experience! Our hosts, Carmela/Livio/Gloria were warm, welcoming, and passionate about sharing their knowledge of Tuscan cuisine. The pasta-making class was hands-on and fun, and we learned how to create delicious, authentic Tuscan dishes from scratch. The gelato-making class was a highlight, and we got to sample our creations with a glass of wine. The farmhouse setting was stunning, with breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside. Overall, this class was an incredible experience that combined delicious food, wine, and stunning scenery. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to immerse themselves in Tuscan culture.

Favorite thing about Florence! - The cooking class with Lavinia, Francesco, and Carmella was the best part of our Florence adventures! It felt like you were cooking with family. They were so welcoming and sweet, not to mention how stunning the property was! I loved every bit of the day with Walkabout Florence tours!

Fantastic experience!! From pick up, to cooking, to the drop off. - Coming to the Tuscan countryside, making pasta and gelato was the highlight of my trip. The food and gelato was fantastic. The chefs and staff were amazing. I especially liked hearing the Italian chef speak to us in Italian and the assistant chef translating. The sequence between languages was excellent and entertaining. My daughter dreams of having her own gelato and sweet shop one day. We came hoping to gain insight into how to make a great gelato. All 16 recipes were amazing. We cannot wait to try them at home. The experience was priceless and we left empowered with knowlege on how to make our own. The atmophere was beautiful and making new friends from around the world was priceless. Everyone felt welcomed, like old friends meeting again. It was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend it.

Great Time at Pasta and Gelato Class! - Davide and Livio were fabulous hosts and I can't recommend this experience highly enough. My sister and I had a wonderful time - just enough hands on and demo, and our meal was delicious!

Pasta and Gelato making in Florence at a Tuscan Farmhouse - The pasta and gelato making class with Davide, Livio, Carmella, and Noemi was one of the best experiences my husband and I had in Italy. We loved their humor, banter, and enthusiasm throughout the experience. The pasta and gelato were delicious and easy to follow, even for beginners. The meal with new friends was spectacular, and the views were phenomenal throughout the adventure.

Fantastic day of cooking with passionate chef instructors - This was a perfect day and experience. It started with clear instructions on where to meet and an air conditioned bus ride about 15 mins out of Florence to a beautiful estate. Our chefs for the day, Carmella, Livinia, and Livio (forgive spelling) were full of authentic energy, knowledge, and passion for what they do—which reflected on the vibe for the entire day. Our family of 3 (parents and a 12 year old) had a blast together because the chefs kept us moving, learning, and tasting along the way. Then the final products that we had cooked with them was all delicious. In the days following we had some similar dishes elsewhere, and we commented that it was better at the class. Can’t wait to try our recipes at home and would recommend this tour and chefs to everyone! Grazie, Carmella, Livio, and Livinia!

If you do one thing in Florence do this! - This was THE best day we had in Italy. Just wow. The farmhouse is so delightful with views to die for, and the cookery school is a place I’d kill to have in another life. So well planned out, so immersive, and the food was exquisite. Max, Ado and Carmelo were amazing alongside all the other support staff, it was seamless. A must do in Florence.

Pasta and gelato making experience. Max, Noemi, and Livio are part of the amazing team that made this a memorable time. - We spent two weeks in Italy and this was highlight! Wonderful farmhouse setting with olive trees and vineyards. The hosts were all amazing. The taught us techniques and educated on what makes a difference in making pasta and gelato. Time well spent and nice break from tours. And at the end we had a wonderful meal that we made ourselves.

Pasta and Gelato - Wonderful! - Amazing tour. I’m usually somewhat skeptical of these types of tours but this exceeded my expectations. The group size was only around 25 and the space and scenery was wonderful. Would certainly recommend and our guides Lavinia and Francesco were wonderful.
