This experience was truly incredible and a great ending to our 8 days in Italy for Spring break. We had a group of 9 with four kids aged 9-12 and absolutely loved the pasta and gelato class. The location is amazing- 45 min bus ride into the hills and out of Florence. The kitchens and space are new and impressive. Ado, Tony and Gloria were amazing teachers and kept our entire family engaged and loving every minute! We all learned something and loved getting hands on making pasta like in the movies! I highly recommend this experience!

If a pasta cooking class is what you're looking for then this is the place you have to book! Toni, Noemi, & Davide provided us with a great experience! Noemi met us at the train station where she walked us to the tour bus and then provided us with information about the Tuscan Farm and what we were to expect from the class. We were able to make 3 different types of pastas with sauce, gelato, and had unlimited wine. Toni and Davide were exceptional teachers and full of knowledge and comic relief. If you book in the afternoon you will even be able to take in a Tuscan sunset! We would highly recommend booking this experience!

We had a great time on this class, although it was our last night in Italy and it lasted longer than we expected. Closer to 7 hours, with quite a bit of walking required.

The cooking class that we as a family attended was the highlight of our trip. The class was organized with time for questions and answers and was fun. The food was delicious as well, and the gelato - perfecto <3

The class yesterday was an experience to remember. The tour guides and chefs were personable, funny and made the occasion so special. The gelato making was very fun as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is coming to Florence. The only downside was an hour bus ride on windy roads but the view is worth it! Highly recommend a sunset timeframe. Thanks Noemi, David and Tony.

The excursion was really a lot of fun. From check in at the end of the train station where they are holding a Walk About Tours sign to the end of the evening, everything turned out fine. Tony checked us in at the train station and then walked us to where the bus was parked. The drive was about 1/2 an hour. Aurora met us at our destination and was our gelato instructor. We walked onto the property and there she introduced us to the pizza chefs, Ludoviko & Tistiano. They had made a small app for everyone like a focaccia to have with beer, wine or water. Then we went inside and started our gelato instruction with Aurora. Everything was organized well. You work in pairs and pick one of several flavors of gelato to make. Best if people make all different ones so there are more flavors to try at the end. We then went out to learn about pizza making from the chefs and started on our dough. Interestingly enough, you don't actually use the dough you make as it all goes into a tub to rise for a bit. Then you go back into the gelato area to finish up churning the gelato. After that, you come to actually make your pizza with all the various toppings which are made really quickly in batches of 8-9 people at a time working on their dinner. Wine and beer continue to flow and after eating your masterpiece, it's time to try all the different gelatos that were made outside on the patio. There are some toppings you wouldn't guess to put on certain flavors of gelato like balsamic vinegar on mango and red salt on pistachio. Aurora, Ludoviko, & Tistiano did a wonderful job of keeping things fun and light. It was a definite fun thing to do in Florence, and I highly recommend you don't miss it.

Outstanding experience for our family on an excursion day from Florence. The team (Carmela, Alessia and Letizia) were knowledgeable, fun, welcoming and spirited). The event was well-structured, flawlessly executed and highlighted authentic cooking, nice (and plentiful) Chianti and a really unique experience. Great for couples, would be just as fun for solo travelers and our family (with kids ages 15,12,9) had a great time and were welcomed and included warmly. Group of ~20ish was fun and a great way to experience the event (fun way to meet nice people from around the world and the vibe of the group with direction of the guides was excellent). Highly recommended. The logistics are suitable and the trip to a rustic yet classy farmhouse kitchen added to the experience.

The reviews are true - this is a phenomenal, unique, and well-worth-it experience in the Tuscany region! The pasta + gelato class is about a 45 minute, very comfortable bus ride into the gorgeous Tuscan hills. The organization, communication, kitchen set-up, and experience are all impeccably planned. The hosts/kitchen instructors are amazing! They truly feel like family at the end of the event. Francesco, Carmela, and Letizia were personable, fun, caring, and passionate about making our experience perfect! The food was absolutely delicious. We were so full! This is really fun with a group of friends/family, but you will meet others as well and share kitchen stations with them if you are a smaller group. Totally fine for kids! We were so pleased with the emphasis on Italian cooking and eating being. apart of family and togetherness. We felt this and really wanted to spend more time with Letizia, Francesco, and Carmela. It was like being in grandma's kitchen with your cousins. So much fun, so worth it, and we hope we can now cook a little more like this at home. Thank you!

This was the highlight of our visit to Florence. The facilities were very nice and rustic. The space overlooks a small garden and olive trees with the Tuscan hills in the background. The staff were all knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience entertaining. Arla, Chris and Tiziano were able to teach, entertain the adults and also make sure my two young children were involved and had fun also. Pizza was very good. Gelato tasting was also good and Chris gave some unique tasting combination recommendations. We would definitely do this again. The transport to and from the experience was in a very nice, new, bus. The only thing to be aware of, especially for those with kids, is that from the meeting point, there is another 10 minute walk to the actual bus.
