Tuscan Cooking Class and Dinner in Florence
Florence, Italy

My Review
Just got back from a three city visit to Italy. he cooking class in Florence was wonderful. We met in a famous square that just happened to be just a minute from our hotel near the Ponte Vecchio, crossed the bridge and walked about two blocks to a kitchen where we spent a wonderful evening conversing with travelers from all over and making some fine food. While I cook often and knew most of the techniques, I definitely learned a thing or two and enjoyed the camaraderie. The chefs who instructed us served our work product to us in the way of a four course meal with wine. Great evening! Highly recommend this.

My Review
I love these two towns. I didn't really know much about either, but definitely want to go back and stay at either one. Orvieto was beautiful, although we didn't have enough time there. The church is worth the visit, and the town looked amazing. Assisi was delightful, but again there was no time to go off the path of the tour. Our tour guide in Assisi was knowledgeable. Be sure to seek out the bathrooms; the guides don't allow much time on your own, and bathrooms are few and far between. This is a silly but important point. Both towns were absolutely beautiful. The lunch stop was fun for souvenir shopping; however, lunch was just adequate. We were in a nice size group, only 18 people. I recommend this.

My Review
Of course the Vatican is amazing, and this tour was well worth it. While you are still in a small line with the tour guide, it is worth it to avoid the three hour normal line. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and we appreciated that we could understand her easily. This was a great experience and well worth the money.
