The six-hour class suits families, couples, and food lovers, but dress for the outdoor temperature.

“We had such a fantastic time at this cooking class! The chefs were knowledgeable, engaging, friendly, and made the whole experience very fun! The setting at a farm up above Florence was absolutely beautiful, we learned practical techniques and were given recipes we can use at home. We brought our teenage kids, and thought it was going to be long at six hours, but the time flew by! The food was delicious and the bottomless wine was wonderful. This was one of our favorite experiences on our trip to Italy, highly recommend!”

“Our Gelato and Pizza making class with Chris, Tiziano, and Lowik was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, it felt more like a performance than a class—fun, interactive, and full of energy. Each of them brought so much personality and expertise, making the entire experience both educational and entertaining. The way they explained the craft of making authentic Italian pizza and gelato was incredibly detailed yet easy to follow. You could really tell they love what they do, and that passion made the experience unforgettable. The food we made was beyond delicious, and we left feeling like pros (and very full!). I can’t recommend Walkabout Tours enough—this is a must-do…”

Everyone in our family (6 of us- 3 teens) contributed and we made 3 pastas, sauce and dessert. It does take 3+ hours beginning to end. We had to sneak out a few minutes early because we had timed-entry museum…”
