Top 5 3-Hour Classes in Italy

1.3 Hours Private Boat Tour of Capri with Pasta and Prosecco

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 34 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) Our pick

You’ll spend three hours on a private Capri boat with a captain such as Roberto, Giuseppe, Ciro, or Alfonso. Expect grottoes, the Faraglioni, swimming stops, pasta, Prosecco, limoncello, towels, sunscreen, and snorkeling gear. The Blue Grotto costs an extra €18 and may involve a wait or closure.

“Unfortunately the boat tour was cancelled by the operator because of the weather conditions, so i can't comment on my experience of the tour. However, trying to get my refund is proving difficult and time consuming. I'm going through Viator, as is the process, but apparently the tour operator isn't replying. It's not a small amount of money, so it's a little unsettling.”

3.3 Hour Sicilian Cooking Class on Fresh Pasta in Catania

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $119

At a professional kitchen near Catania’s Galatea and Italia subway stops, Simone guides you through handmade pasta, ragù, Norma, and Sicilian pesto. You’ll eat the dishes you prepare with Sicilian wine and limoncello during this three-hour, English-language class for up to 14 people.

“My friend and I arrived about 20 minutes late due to a transportation issue coming back from another city. The Viator page didn’t have direct contact info, so it was hard to reach the host with spotty international service. We were really grateful that Simone still welcomed us and that it ended up being just the two of us, which made it feel like a private class.”

4.3 Hour Cooking Class: Homemade Pasta and Tiramisu in Venice

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $168

Meet in Venice’s San Polo district for a three-hour, English-language class led by Carlotta or another local host. Walk to the cooking space, make ricotta and spinach ravioli, fresh tagliatelle, and traditional tiramisu, then sit down with wine and water to eat what you prepared.

“We booked a 10am slot as it was a 3 hour experience. So thought it would be a great time to eat lunch but It only took us just over an hour to cook the food so was eating at 11.15am which wasn't good as we had only had breakfast at 8.30am. The lady who ran the class was lovely but We did feel like we had to eat all the food as she sat with us while we ate.”
