“It was quite frantic and rushed. The tour guide was knowledgeable but had definitely grown jaded after leading the tour so many times. Older people will struggle to keep up, we did this in the off season so there were way fewer people and we were walking at a pretty brisk pace. There is no bathroom until over an hour in and no option to sit as the places are quite small.”

“Lorenzo and his cooking class were fabulous! He took us to the Rialto fish market and produce market. He educated us along the way about what was local and which wasn’t. We then had about a 20 min walk back to his place for class. His apartment was wonderfully laid out! There were four of us total in his group on our day. We made focaccia, asparagus with poached egg and prosciutto appetizer, a spinach ravioli, and homemade tiramisu. J would recommend for anyone who enjoys cooking - although my husband enjoyed even though he does not usually cook. We went over briefly in time but it was wonderful talking…”

We walked to his home where he had a good-size kitchen and a nice set up for the six of us participating. He talked to us about our meal and demonstrated the steps before we took over making our own dishes. We then got to sit down and enjoy the meal we had created and enjoy some local wine.…”
