Fun morning in Florence
WOW! What an incredibly fun way to spend a morning/early afternoon. The trip to the market and the olive oil tasting was a nice bonus. Our chefs were personable and helpful and made the entire experience just spectacular. Highly recommend!!

Great experience, even with children!
Lisa was absolutely amazing!! Aside from the delicious food, she was such a wonderful host. I brought my daughters with me, who are five and eight, and I was a little nervous about keeping them occupied and entertained for the full three hours, but they were completely engaged the entire time! Lisa is so personable and made the class fun for everyone. Definitely go, and definitely bring the kids! Such a great experience for the whole family.
