A lovely day food shopping and cooking with new friends! - Our day-long Tuscan cooking class was an absolute highlight of our trip to Florence—an unforgettable blend of culinary adventure, local charm, and warm hospitality. The experience began with an immersive stroll through the bustling Mercato Centrale in Florence, where we handpicked and sampled vibrant produce, aged cheeses, and fragrant herbs under the guidance of the ever-charismatic Luca. His humor and local insights had our small group laughing and bonding from the start, making it a perfect outing for couples, families, and even for solo travelers. The journey through the rolling Tuscan hills to a rustic farmhouse felt like stepping into a postcard, setting the stage for what became a hands-on, joy-filled cooking experience. Once at the farmhouse, Erika’s easy-going, encouraging style transformed the kitchen into a welcoming space where everyone—from novices to seasoned cooks—felt at home. With glasses of Chianti in hand, we prepared an incredible four-course feast, including a melt-in-your-mouth roast, crisp bruschetta, and the dreamiest tiramisu. Throughout, Luca and Erika’s banter and genuine warmth made us feel like part of an Italian family gathering. The recipes, which we received by email, have already become staples in our kitchen back home. If you’re seeking an authentic, laughter-filled, and deeply satisfying taste of Tuscany, this class is an absolute must. Thank you, Luca and Erika, for a lovely time in the hills of Florence!

Delicious food with lots of fun and laughter! - We had a great time during this cooking class and everything was absolutely delicious. Our instructors were super friendly and funny! I would definitely recommend this experience. Only thing is - I didn’t receive the recipes through email, is there anyway that can still be sent to me

Fun shopping and cooking - Luka was a wonderful host shopping for the foods he was both informative and humorous. At the winery Erika joined us. Everyone participate one way or another with guidance from Luka and Erika. The views of the Tuscan area were splendid. A good time and definitely something you should do.

Italian cooking class - For those of you considering going to a cooking class with walkabout tours and are not sure if its worth it and are looking at the reviews to see how others enjoyed it, well I too checked the reviews before booking the cooking class and based myself on all the excellent comments made by others. The class met all my expectations above and beyond. The walk through the market to pick up the ingredients was a great way to start the day. Luca was very entertaining and informative as well made the walk about fun. The cooking class was very well organized and provided hands on experience and many tips for cooking. The estate is very picturesque and the kitchen prep areas are very well set up organized and clean. Luca and the other chef were excellent in their demonstrations and made sure everyone was able to have hands on cooking. The food prepared was delicious and the all round atmosphere was excellent. It was one of the highlights of my Italian trip. I would not hesitate to recommend this cooking class for anyone considering a unique Italian cooking experience. Thank you Luca and the team for providing a great class

Fantastic day from start to finish!! - Absolutely Fantastic!! This was a brilliant day, Luca and Erica were so much fun, and really made the day special. From start to finish, we loved every minute. The market in the morning was really interesting, then we were taken by coach to the most beautiful farmhouse surrounded by breathtaking views! We made fresh pasta, and other dishes (dont want to spoil the surprise) which we enjoyed for lunch, all washed down with wine! This really is a 5 star day out and if you’re looking for a memorable experience, we would throughly recommend it! Thankyou Luca and Erica…Jane Fonda and Mike Tyson!! 🤣💕💕
