  Crafting an experience is a bit like making gelato or pizza-- it's all in the execution. Chefs Max, Thomas, and Tiziano and their whole team are flawless in their execution of this excursion. Our group of six included children and adults, people with cooking experience and those (like myself) with very few skills in the kitchen-- all of us had an amazing time. The Tuscan farmhouse is very near Florence but feels like a getaway; it's a beautiful space with amazing views and gardens and a perfect setup to accommodate the classes. But what really makes it all work are the charming and very funny personalities of Max, Thomas, and Tiziano, who are not only great teachers but wonderful entertainers as well. The staff is excellent and keeps the whole process moving without a hitch. I recommend the experience to anyone looking for a unique way to spend an afternoon outside of the city.

  Fantastic experience from start to finish! We arrived to the beautiful farmhouse and gardens with a warm welcome from Cris. There was a nicely set table with a yummy appetizer and a choice of wine or beer. All the chefs were great! They were upbeat, positive, and very passionate about teaching us how to make pizza and gelato. It was definitely a hands on experience. We measured, poured, and kneaded ingredients, and we customized our gelato flavor and pizza to our personal taste. The recipes were emailed to us in American measurements and every product the chefs used could be purchased on Amazon The tour guides were funny and they genuinely engaged with the guests. It was a wonderful evening! We definitely recommend this tour and Walk About Tour Company!

  My partner and I traveled to Italy for a two week vacation, and this was by far the highlight of our trip. Thomas, Max, and Tiziano were our instructors for the afternoon, and the three provided not only an informative culinary experience, but they added humor and phenomenal hospitality. Oh, and the food...DELICIOUS!!!! The only downside, is that my partner and I now have such high expectations for gelato and pizza :-) The food was soooo good; I wish I had more room in my stomach for seconds and thirds.

  My partner and i had to best experience here while making pizza and gelato. Angela, Arla and Tiziano are such beautiful and positive people and gave us great advice and helpful tips when when making our dinner and dessert. The shuttle bus there and back was very nice. We will definitely be back, and will recommend this experience to all of our friends and family that travel through italy/florence :) Thanks again Angela, Arla and Tiziano for the unforgettable experience!

  This was such a fun tour. Not only was the setting magical, Angelina, Thomas and Fizano were the best. They made the entire experience a lasting memory. The instructions were easy to follow and the pizza, focaccia, and gelato were so delicious. And let’s not forget the endless wine. This is a tour not to be missed. Ask for the trio listed above and I know you will have an amazing experience.

  The instructors were great. Lots of education was given into the theories of pizza and gelato. Both were absolutely delicious. The class does last 5 hrs and requires the ability to get up and down quite a large set of stairs. Was a great experience!

  Our group love it. We were a mix of cooks and non-cooks. Great fun and I learn how to throw a pizza in the air!

  This class was so much fun! The guys were funny as well as informative and were especially kind and welcoming to my 9 and 11 year old daughters. There was beautiful scenery just outside the city. We got to make individual pizzas which were delicious! The gelato was a team effort and also delicious! Highly recommend for any type of group.

  Was a great experience! The instructors were very knoweledable and I learned a lot about the proper way to make gelato and pizza. It was a hot day and I was concerned about the idea of a pizza making class that day, however you are in the shade and for parts you are in a room with fans and air conditioning. The heat wasn't an issue and I quickly forgot about it. The air conditioned bus helped too! Max, Thomas and Tiziano were amazing and very personable! Thomas even gave us some advice about an activity that we were going to do after the Gelato/pizza experience. I'm not much of a social person but I really was so grateful that I went and did something outside my comfort zone. I also appreciated that they gave us wine and beer!

  I know how hard it is to make great pizza but never understood gelato until this class. It's basic chemistry but the ratios are important. We made pistachio gelato under the expert supervision of Cris who also amazed the class by making gelato using liquid nitrogen. The rest of the class of 24 made gelato in teams of two so we had many flavors to taste. Also learned about the commercial gelato places and will be very selective in the future. We're excited about making this at home and with their recipes we know it can be done. Pizza was made completely from scratch with Thomas and Arla as our expert chefs. We started with the basic ingredients and each person made their own pizza. Even learned how to hand toss our pizzas. This entire experience was so well done with plenty of fun, laughter, refreshments and our own pizzas with wine and finally gelato. A beautiful location with great people leading us. Grazie Mille per tutti a Arla, Cris and Thomas.
