Guidekin's take

Shop the Rialto market with a chef, then cook a three course meal in a Venetian home kitchen with a spritz to start and prosecco at the table.

The evening class skips the market and runs two courses, and pickup is not included. 4.9 from 355 reviews at €95 per person.

Best for: Morning tier: Rialto market, then three courses at home with spritz and prosecco; from €95 per person buys the evening class, no market. 4.9, 355 reviews. Cooking Classes comparison

Trade-off: Evening class skips the market and a course.

In our comparison: #3 of 6 in Cooking Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
