Horrible experience with this awful company! Use any other company! They did not provide the experience we paid for and then their nasty staff hangs up on you. Do not recommend!
Good morning from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Christopher, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. After reviewing the situation, we feel it is important to clarify the facts. Your personal voucher clearly stated: “Mandatory to arrive at least at 04:30 pm – It is mandatory to arrive at the meeting point at the mentioned check-in time. In case of delay it will not be possible to join the group, nor to have a refund or reschedule the course.” Unfortunately, you arrived at the meeting point after 4:48 pm. For logistical and operational reasons, we are unable to wait for late arrivals without impacting the experience of other participants. Furthermore, the cooking class cannot accept participants after the designated start time, as the chef’s schedule and the preparation of the class must proceed strictly as planned. We understand that delays can happen, but this situation arose due to arriving late, not due to any failure on our part. All arrangements were provided exactly as advertised, and the tour and cooking class continued smoothly for the rest of the group. While we regret that you were unable to join the experience, we hope you will consider giving us another opportunity in the future. We would be happy to welcome you on one of our activities and demonstrate the high quality of service and care that we provide to all of our guests. Best regards
Run away from this company!! I would give negative stars!! The worst experience of our trip. They do not tell you they are bussing you to another location for the class. We had a little trouble finding the meeting spot but were on the right street one minute away. We contacted the tour guide to say we were just steps away and running over and was told “no we are leaving without you.” We asked for the address so we could meet up with them at the cooking school, but they refused to provide it and would not let us take the class we paid for over! They are rude and unprofessional. I don’t know how anybody can treat their customers this way! We paid hundreds of dollars for our family to take the class and they couldn’t have been less helpful or understanding. I called the company headquarters and was hung up on. They are awful! Use another company!!

My daughter and I had a great time at this pasta making course. We made pasta dough then turned it into fettucine amd ravioli, plus we also made gnocchi. For dessert we made Panna Cotta. It was all delicious and the chefs leading the groups were great. A nice experience and something a bit different.
