when jon said to knead the dough, i realised i needed him. i couldn’t focus on how to make the pasta because i was just focused on smelling jon the whole time. he’s just so hot. jon is lucky i didn’t just start touching him there and then.

This tour was so educational and fun! Our instructors jon and alice were so informative and friendly, and they taught us not only how to make pasta and gelato but also the history behind the foods! Jon was such a handsome boy. With how good he smelled, i wanted a bite of him too!

Our guide Khalifa was wonderful. He made our trip the most memorable. If anyone goes to visit Oman they should really look into getting him as a guide. He is very patient and knowledgeable. We were a group of 9 and he accommodated all of us. We truly appreciated all that he did for us.

We had the most wonderful time on our Vespa tour with Tanya and Gabriele. They were kind and patient while making sure everyone was comfortable with their Vespas. The wine and Olive oil tasting as well as the lunch served at the hotel and farm where the wine and olive oils are pressed was a wonderful experience. We came away with our hearts content and loved meeting other people in the group that joined us. Thank you so much!

We had a great time in this class, smiling and laughing the whole time. Our pizzaiola Jon was very knoledgeable and shared history and useful tips about Florence as well as the cooking skills. He was well able to manage our diverse group of learners which ranged from young children to older folks, with all different native languages and cooking skill levels. The pizzas we made were crispy and delicious, served with good wine and the gelato we made, which was some of the best i’ve ever tasted. I would thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone who has an interest in cooking!

We had Maria for our Florence Classic Bike tour and she was an excellent guide! We learned so much from her and she was extremely friendly and easy to talk to. She gave us some extra recommendations too. It is great to be able to see a lot of the city in only 2.5 hours, although it is a bit tricky to navigate with all of the cars. Great experience but would not recommend for people who are not confident bikers.

We had so much fun. Chef Jon was awesome and funny. We made friends with everyone there and our pizza and gelato were delicious. We would highly recommend this couples, families and solos. So much fun!

Great cooking adventure with chef Federico P. on Nov 6th. Strongly recommend to all interested in spending pleasant time with like minded people and learning about Italian cooking.

Definitely read the fine print! This is a climb and can be claustrophobic too! It was really cool to be up in the dome and see the frescos up close. The view from the top outside is amazing!

My husband and I booked this as our Florence excursion during our Honeymoon and have absolutely zero regrets! This tour was so interesting - the tour guide had so much knowledge of the region and the wineries we were headed to, it was so fascinating! We also went to some awesome wineries and ended up buying 6 bottles to ship back to the states! The small group was the perfect amount of people (about 14) and we had a blast getting to know everyone and spend the day with them drinking wine. Also the Tuscan lunch we received was heavenly. Some of the best food we had in Florence! We would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone who loves wine as much as we do!

The evening was excellent the Chef was fun and very helpful had a great night meet some lovely people the food great and the experience great. Do not arrive early as there is no where to wait except on the street.

The absolute best time! Teaching was great and interactive, pizza was delicious, and the wine was splendid! Gelato was the perfect finish!

We’ve enjoyed several tours with Towns of Italy, but unfortunately this one missed the mark. The walking tour of Siena was very good and visiting San Gimignano was nice, though less than an hour there was not enough to explore and enjoy this place. Our guide told us lunch would be at 1:45pm so we thought we shouldn’t buy much food in San Gimignano; however, we didn’t arrive at the winery until 2:05pm, then they announced we’d be going on a tour of the winery before lunch - even though we were all extremely hungry. Lunch didn’t start until 2:45pm. The itinerary promised a wine tasting, but we were only given two small serves of wine with lunch over a long period of time, plus a dessert liqueur. I have dietary requirements (gluten free, no onion, no garlic) which was confirmed with the company well in advance, two days before and on the day of the trip. However when lunch came around they still seemed surprised when I mentioned it. While everyone else was served a veggie lasagna, my “traditional Tuscan lunch” was a bowl of chickpeas and a bowl of potatoes with salt and pepper. Very disappointed, would not recommend this tour especially if you have dietary requirements. Better to stay in Florence and explore more of the beautiful scenery and multitude of restaurants there instead.

Alicia was our chef and if you truly want a beautiful and fun experience please go. We learned so much about Italian cuisine and the food was absolutely delicious (if I might say so myself) Chef Alicia has a great personality and she knew what she was talking about. The trip to the market was very informative. After class we walked back over to the market and bought what we needed to make another meal. Fyi...if there is a guy that feels that this class is not for them...just know that the men had more fun than the woman. Great experience and would do it again and again and again

Our chef tutors were such fun, David and Vic. We learned a lot and had fun with the other participants. The food was delicious.
