Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Ylenia and her family are AMAZING hosts!!! She was so welcoming and loving to our kids and family and shared so many stories and facts about Naples!! We learned so many things and had the best time creating pizzas together as a family and trying local drinks and then making delicious chocolate calzones! Our kids (age 10 and 8) started off a little tired but Ylenia was so patient and fun and they soon were soaking it all up! They have the most beautiful home and farm and garden and we all loved seeing it all and their beautiful view!! If you are looking for a wonderful taste of Naples authentic pizza with a relaxing family time to connect and enjoy then definitely do this activity and be sure to give Ylenia a hug from us too!! SO FUN & DELICIOUS!"
"I was looking for a cooking class with my kids (3 and 6 years old). Then I have found Ylenia with a little research and it was amazing! She has made us feel like a friend of hers. She was so nice and kind. And the food... All the best ingredients, perfect kitchen and tasty pizzas. I definitely recommend to visit her while you are in Naples. You can always go to a nice restaurant, but making your own is something totally different. Thank you again Ylenia for such a lovely experience!"
"We all had a wonderful time with Ylenia and learnt so much about Italian culture! Our daughters (7 and 5 years old) loved making the pizzas and getting messy. They also loved seeing the chickens and the cat. As well a an insight into local traditions, Ylenia gave us some amazing views of Naples with the stunning backdrop of Vesuvius. Ylenia is very kind and enthusiastic about her country and we would definitely recommend this experience to everyone."

"Ylenia is not only very good shef, she is also tourist guide. So, we enjoyed also from very interesting guide about the history of south Italy. The kids loved cooking the food (that was delicious!). Ylenia communicated directly with the kids and gave us all filling like we are at home."
"Ylenia’s experience was one of the most authentic and enjoyable experiences that we have ever booked! Sharing a love of travel over great food was amazing. Hearing Ylenia’s stories was a true highlight of our trip! We would book this again in a heartbeat!"
"Ylenia was the highlight of our two week vacation in Italy! She was fun, engaging, told us loads about Italian culture, the food, and the pizzas we made were incredibly delicious! She was also so engaging with our 3 year old son, got him to help a lot, and he sure had a lot of fun too! We highly recommend Ylenia’s classes and tour guiding as well. She spoke perfect English with the Italian charm of course!"
"We brought our two boys, ages 8 and 10, and we had a great time with Ylenia. The boys loved making the pizza and calzones and also enjoyed hanging out with her dogs and cat. "
"Myself, husband and two children (aged 4 & 6) had a lovely afternoon with Ylenia at her home. We picked some delicious plums from the garden and looked out over the stunning views before getting started inside. Ylenia talked us through tastings of the different types of cheeses used on pizza (along with some lovely local wine). Our kids were delighted that they got involved to make their own dough and loved the 'treat pizza' at the end. Thank you for a lovely experience!"
"My husband and I and our two children aged 4 and 7, spent a wonderful evening with Ylenia who showed us round her 'hidden gem' of a house with incredible views over the bay of naples and Mount vesuvius. She was so patient with our children when teaching them all about the wonderful fresh ingredients for the pizzas and supplied us with drinks and nibbles whilst we chatted. The children really enjoyed themselves! The evening was very relaxed and we felt comfortable chatting away about our shared love of travel whilst eating. Ylenia accommodated our various food requests so easily. So lovely also to meet her lovely partner and gorgeous little boy too who clearly has a real love of fresh local ingredients too (especially cheese😋!) Thank you from all of us; Ruth, Shane, Caitlin and Cara xx You are welcome in our home anytime 😊 "
"We came in, 2 families with 5 noisy kids, and had an evening of pure fun with Ylenia. It was really a great experience and we strongly recommend!!! She is very kind, patient, friendly. Grazie mille 🇮🇹❤🇮🇱"
