Pasta and Tiramisu Class Rome: Make three dishes by handYou prepare fresh fettuccine, ricotta ravioli, and tiramisu from scratch under a professional chef's guidance, choose your pasta sauce from three Roman classics, then sit down to eat everything you made with wine and coffee. The class runs in a real restaurant near Piazza Navona, and you take home a recipe book to recreate it all later.Is it for me?Book this if you want to learn a real cooking skill and actually eat the result the same day, rather than take a class and leave hungry. The hands-on format with a professional chef and the restaurant setting afterward is what makes it feel like an experience instead of a lesson.
Vatican City: Skip-the-Line Sistine Chapel & St. Peter’s TourYou’ll step straight into Vatican City with skip-the-line entry and a local guide leading you through masterpieces in the Vatican Museums, the hush of the Sistine Chapel, and awe-inspiring St. Peter’s Basilica.
