If you do one thing while in Florence, it had better be a day-long trip to the Chianti countryside with The Accidental Tourist! I don't want to gush too much, but I must say my day with them was the best day I had during my two-week solo journey to Italy (Venice, Florence/Tuscany, Cinque Terre, and Milan). Our guides, Steve... more

Let me just say that if you don't do this when your in Florence or surrounding area you have missed a great day. First you are picked up in Florence by your guide, ours happened to be Jesse, he is amazing. The funny part is he is a transplant, (Yes, he's Americano), but you wouldn't know by the way he... more

We did the wine and cook full day tour. We were picked up in Florence and driven out to a winery where we were given a tour and learned about making wine and olive oil. From there we drove to another location where we tasted wine and olive oil. We also had the opportunity to purchase the wine and olive... more

We spent 2 weeks in Italy and our best day by far was the one we spent with Accidental Tourist Tours, on a Wine and Cook tour in Tuscany. We toured a winery and olive making facility, had a wine and olive oil tasting, and then went to a 400 year old manor home where we learned to make pasta.... more

We were picked up around 12:00PM for the cooking class. We were driven out by van to a place in the Tuscan countryside by a woman- then switched drivers for another 10 minute drive to a charming lovely house with fantastic views. We made ravioli with spinach and ricotta and fettucine. Our instructor was fluently bilingual. After about an hour... more

My husband and I did the full day with the wine tasting and then the cooking class. We enjoyed both but if you have to choose because you only have 1/2 day--then choose the cooking class. The wines we tasted were good and even better was the olive oil and crusty bread that we had with the tasting. But we... more

I thought this cooking class was an absolutely fabulous experience that was well worth the 60 euros! The guide was very good and super friendly, our fellow cookers (only 3 other people) were also super friendly as well (and also from Alberta!). The farmhouse was a beautiful location, the owners of the house were friendly and very good hosts and... more

Ok…my husband is a better cook than I am, period! He is good at it, more creative than I am and basically enjoys what I consider a chore. When I heard about people taking cooking classes while in Tuscany and I wanted to give him a cooking class as his birthday present while we were in Florence. I thought he... more

I read the reviews for the cooking class on Tripadvisor before going to Florence, and knew it would be something i'd love. Two of my girl friends and myself were picked up by car from the centre of Florence in the afternoon, and taken to a gorgeous farmhouse placed on top of the Tuscan hills. There we were joined by... more
