“Absolutely fabulous experience. Livio, Lavi and Titiano were an amazing group of instructors. They were so funny, we had a hilarious time but still learned so much about pizza making and gelato. I can’t believe how much was packed in, we made our own pizza balls, made our own pizzas and made 11 different flavours of gelato in the class. The setting was so beautiful, and there was free flowing wine and snacks too. The course seemed more expensive than many others but it was most definitely value for money and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks everyone”

“Best way to see the city! During the tour you are whisked through the city and given facts about many different neighborhoods and some landmarks that tourists don’y typically explore. The gelato stop was fantastic as well. My gelato I’ve had in Italy so far. My husband and I both loved riding in the sidecar so much that we switched back and forth. With the hills, it feels like being on a roller coaster. Of all the tours we’ve done so far, this is definitely our favorite! Bonus points for not exhausting your legs with tons of walking.”
