Food excellence in Florence! - Incredible cooking and experience! Noemi greeted us in the square and took us on a tour of the market and explained so much about local foods, shopping habits and market offerings before we’re headed to chef school for our cooking lesson! WOW! So much more that we could have expected!! The menu was incredible and we were really able to cook ourselves! Noemi taught us to cook like real chefs! We made a full course meal! And we ate things I would never think to make and it was phenomenal! Winter bruschetta, chicken Marsala, spinach ravioli- (yes! Homemade pasta! And finished with tiramisu! Incredible!! So grateful were took the time in there this gorgeous city for such a special experience! Noemi was a GEM!!

Great learning and cooking experience. - Francesco was awesome. Very personable, friendly and informative. Shopping at tahe market was fun with tastings and interesting background information provided by Francesco. The cooking class was fun, we learned some knife skills and practical tips which help to shorten prep and cooking times. The 4-course menu we prepared was very tasty.

Loved, Loved, Loved this tour! - This was my favorite tour while visiting Italy. Entailed a lot of walking, which I wasn't expecting. From the meeting location, the tour was broken up into 2 groups and we proceed to walk to the amazing market. All I can say is WOW! I wish I had one of these markets near me. After touring the market, sampling some stuff and picking up some supplies, it was a significant walk to Chefactory. We had such a wonderful time making a 4 course meal, which included making fresh pasta. Our tour guides/chefs were wonderful throughout the entire tour. Our absolutely delicious 4 course meal was server to us along with wine. Everyone in the group, including the men were talking about how much they enjoyed the tour and how good everything was. I would definitely recommend this tour and would do it again.

Fantastic time - What a great time! We went to the local market which was huge, and saw where all the fresh ingredients came from. We were treated to a little tasting before we went to the school and made our meal. We made tiramisu, hand made fettuccine, a sundries tomato pesto sauce and a dish with chicken and vegetables. It was all delicious! They also provided some Chianti wine with our meal. This was supposed to be a lunch but we were all completely stuffed for the evening. Everyone in our party absolutely loved it!! Thanks Katrina and Stefano!!
