Amazing experience! The...
Amazing experience! The class was easy and fun, food and instruction were amazing, and the sights and journey were a great way to get outside of Firenze

Never Made It
Confirm your itinerary multiple times. Briefly we arrived early to learn our reservation was changed; a 10 am bus tour for a winery tour and pasta making was changed to a 9am walking tour. Tour guide had me speak with their office, but I guess I didn’t ask enough questions prior to our trek thru the streets of Florence. Overall a disappointing day.

Unforgettable experience.
Our experience was wonderful. Would highly recommend this to any traveller interested in learning how to make yummy and authentic Italian food. Beautiful scenery as well. The tour guides and cooks were excellent, very friendly, informative and fun to learn with. Eleonora, Francesco, and Cristina - our warmest thank you for the unforgettable experience.

Our goal is to make it easy, fun, and memorable — so it means a lot to know you enjoyed the experience. We’d love to have you join us again whenever you’re back in the area. Safe travels and thanks again for choosing Walkabout Tours!

Best hosts and best experience
The BEST experience ever!!! My trip Would have not been the same without this class and Letizia, Francisco, and Francesca were such great hosts and made us feel right at home. We made two types of pasta and gelato and they accommodated for me being a vegetarian. The people in the class were also so much fun. Highly recommend doing this on your trip to Italy!!

Tuscany Express Experience: Pasta Class & Wine Tour from Florence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Tuscany Express Experience: Pasta Class & Wine Tour from Florence cost?
+
Prices start at $183 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tuscany Express Experience: Pasta Class & Wine Tour from Florence take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Tuscany Express Experience: Pasta Class & Wine Tour from Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 302 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tuscany Express Experience: Pasta Class & Wine Tour from Florence?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tuscany Express Experience: Pasta Class & Wine Tour from Florence suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tuscany Express Experience: Pasta Class & Wine Tour from Florence?
+
Around 106 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tuscany Express Experience: Pasta Class & Wine Tour from Florence start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Tuscany Express Experience: Pasta Class & Wine Tour from Florence?
+
Included: The food accompanied by plenty of Tuscan wine; 15 min transportation from Florence to the country estate and back; Pasta making session; Appetiser and wine on arrival; and Tiramisu making session. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Tuscany Express Experience: Pasta Class & Wine Tour from Florence?
+
Your guide will be holding a WALKABOUT TOURS sign, right by the taxi stand at Santa Maria Novella train station across from the outside McDonald's Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Tuscany Express Experience: Pasta Class & Wine Tour from Florence offered in?
