★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,831 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $145Our pick

Cook pasta, bruschetta, roast pork, and tiramisu at a Tuscan farmhouse after a Florence market tour with wine and local guides.

“Without a doubt, book the tour! We did the Tuscan lunch + market tour with pasta making class. You begin by visiting the Centro Mercado which is a large market selling all fresh ingredients, meats, cheeses, etc. The guide; Lucca, is such an incredibly unique and fun persona! He thoroughly explained ingredients, showcased food options, and we were even able to taste multiple food products in the market. There is a bus that takes you on a 15 minute ride to the Tuscan farmhouse which is gorgeous!! The cooking class is interactive; everyone participates in something! There are so many photos opportunities. You get to prepare: bruschetta, drink endless wine,…”

“The experience itself was lovely. Removed a star because the assistant to the instructor dropped a cloth on the ground by our feet and then used it to wipe the cooking table down after. Kinda gross to do at a cooking school. Enjoyed our experience, still. Also the bar is CASH only. They didn't mention this when offering. We were lucky we had cash on us when we got the bill settled. Bring cash if you want a drink.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 856 reviews · 7 hours · from $102

Ethical elephant care, Thai cooking, lunch and a waterfall visit make this a thoughtful seven-hour Khao Lak day trip from Phuket.

“This was an amazing day - the transfer from our hotel in patong was a long journey but totally worth it and a much better experience than going to other sanctuaries which would have been closer to us. Everything was completely ethical, they are rescue elephants and you get to see them just being themselves and doing the things they enjoy. Our guide (unfortunately I can’t remember his name) was amazing. He had only worked at this particular sanctuary for 7 days but had worked with elephants for over 10 years, he spoke great English and was happy to answer any questions we had about the animals and took good…”

Learn French cooking in a Parisian home with a local chef, market visit, hands-on lesson, three-course meal, wine, and recipes to take home.

“The chef was friendly, definitely an expert, and did a superb job teaching to the different levels of each student. She led us in making three courses which all tasted magnificent. Unlike other classes where each person makes their own plates, this course had us all contributing to the same dish and taking turns at participating which resulted in a lot of standing around watching others. I still learned a lot though while others were up to the plate and with this quality of dish I don’t think it would have been possible for us to each do everything. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the…”

Some of our table mates were already planning a "Greek Night" dinner party when they get home.”
