Italy · DESSERT TOURS
This is the shortlist you would text a friend: 5 dessert & gelato tours that repay the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
At Palazzo Grazioli near the Pantheon, an English-speaking chef guides you through ravioli, tortelli, and fettuccine. You knead, roll, shape, and eat your own pasta with tomato and butter-sage sauces, organic Tuscan wine, dessert, and limoncello.
“Vary good the pasta was incredible and The guide Marco was amazing”
In central Florence, a multilingual chef such as Francesco, Catarina, Noemi, or Giacomo guides you through three fresh pastas, sauces, and a traditional dessert. You roll dough by hand and use a pasta machine, then sit down to eat with unlimited Tuscan wine. A longer option adds a street-food tour.
“This was the best activity we have done. So fun and we learned so much. We met people from all over the world and bonded over the food. Absolutely wonderful.”
Spend three hands-on hours making ravioli, tortelli, and fettuccine with an English-speaking chef in a historic palace near Ponte Vecchio. Instructors such as Camilla, Giacomo, Francesca, and Sarno guide beginners through the process before you share the pasta with Tuscan wine, dessert, and limoncello.
“Camilla was really great! This activity was fun for me that doesn’t cook nor possesses a vast repertoire for any kitchen skill . The food was high quality. The sauces and pasta filling was premade for logistics but recipes given for everything consumed. I would certainly recommend!”
Chef Giuseppe and his team guide you through Neapolitan pizza, cavatelli rigati, and fettuccine alla chitarra in a hands-on class outside central Rome. You will cook in a wood-fired oven, eat in a Roman garden, enjoy wine and limoncello, and return to Laurentina Metro Station.
“Don’t take this cooking class!!!!!! It is so far out of Rome. The transportation they offer changed the meeting point an hour before the class. I messaged and asked them to wait 5 minutes bc of the time it would take us to get to the new meeting point. They would not wait. They told us to take a taxi. No taxis would take us bc it is so far from Rome. We tired 4 taxis. They refused to give us a refund even though they changed the meeting point.”
Start at Trevi Fountain, then follow an English-speaking guide, often including Carla, Erika, Alessia, or Noemi, through the small Vicus Caprarius ruins. See Imperial Age coins, amphorae, marble, and aqueduct channels before collecting a voucher for gelato at a historic shop.
“We loved our tour, our guide was so knowledgeable and funny we all learnt a lot about the history of the water under the Trevi Fountain.”
