So Worth It!! - This was an amazing experience. Communication before and during our tour was great. Pompeii was exceptional and our guide was interesting and helpful. Cooking with Mamma was one of our favorite experiences of our entire two week Italy trip. Best pasta ever! So worth it and would do it again.

A fabulous experience! - This experience was even better than we expected! Manuela was amazing with the guided tour of Pompeii, she is very knowledgeable and personable. Lorenzo was fantastic as our driver, and fun to have as an assistant at Sabrina’s home for the cooking class. Sabrina was so kind and welcoming in her home. We learned a lot about making ravioli and had so much fun while doing it. It was delicious and so was the wine! It was a wonderful time, and would highly recommend!!

Italian Family hosting in their home 🥰 - “The Mama experience was awesome and the best meal we had on our entire 2 week Italy trip (maybe because we participated and had the fresh ingredients from the garden!). Thanks for the afternoon Sabrina and family, we will treasure it :). For those foreigners that aren’t used to the train and bus system make sure you consult with Giuseppe and Sophia beforehand, we had some hiccups getting there and getting back to Rome, but the team were great communicating in real time and I never felt alone. I booked a much later train so we ended up having to hang out for quite a while in town so just be-mindful of when it ends.”
