Guidekin's take

A cooking class on a farm estate outside Florence with the short bus ride included: pizza or pasta plus gelato, then a three course meal with wine and beer.

Food allergies and gluten free needs cannot be handled in the shared kitchen, and the uneven ground rules out wheelchairs. 4.97 from 8,049 reviews for 5h at €64 per person.

Best for: Farm pizza or pasta with gelato, bus and meal with wine at €64 per person; food allergies not accommodated. 4.97 from 8,049 reviews. Cooking Classes comparison

Trade-off: Food allergies not accommodated; no wheelchair access.

In our comparison: #2 of 15 in Cooking Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
