Curioseety Reviews 135

Sold a tour that was not available and then will not refund the tour (three weeks later).

Lots of hospitality and an enjoyable evening. Educational and an informative lesson on Italian cooking traditions.

It was one of the most wonderfull things we did in a long time during our holiday(s) in Toscane.
Absolute a must do when your around.

Curiouseety does nothing to prevent overbooking of classes it offeres. thurned down days after booking after i made noncanccelable plans to be in that area for the specific class they confimed me into. yes CONFIRMED the class. then days later said no go.

Dont use them they seem like a scam!

Era la prima volta che prenotavo per Curioseety ed è stato molto facile.

It was easy to book and the class itself was amazing, Alberto was incredible!

It was an amazing "experience". We were taught old cooking traditions handed down for generations. Her Panzanella was better than what I ate at a 1 star restaurant. Anto, her husband Piero, and the translator Debra made us feel like we were with family. Must do experience!

Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing. I had booked a cooking class with this company and was really looking forward to it, especially because of the positive reviews. I had a few questions beforehand and reached out via chat but never received a response. On the day of the class, no one showed up at the agreed location, and even customer service was unable to reach them.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. Our Guide, Luca was wonderful. He gave us lots of information about the history of the marble industry, the quarries and towns that support them. If you are an English speaker, I recommend booking with Luca. He was very informative for those of us that did not speak italian. I strongly recommend the longer, 2-1/2 hr tour over the 1 hr tour. There is so much more to see. Be prepared for a rough mining road, cool temperatures, wet and muddy footing in the underground portion of the quarry. These are part of the experience, and best with a light jacket and good shoes or hiking boots. We are so happy we did this and recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from the crowds for the afternoon

An absolute scam. NEVER use this company. Allowed us to book a cooking class in Sicily on any day. Took our money, gave us no details other than the address. We turned up to the class, the chef was in London. We were only able to call the chef because our taxi driver knew her number. We got our money back eventually (after they tried to lie to us and say they'd warned us/already reimbursed us, which was a complete lie) but they never reimbursed our taxis to and from the class (80 euros). Curioseety is a complete and utter scam run by incompetent criminals. Never ever use this website.

I have been cooking Tuscan food for 20 years and I still learned so much! It’s like being at home and learning from your Italian mom or grandmother. The food was amazing and of course I loved both her and her husband! Thank you for the warm hospitality!!!

Event with chef Alberto was so much fun! His hospitality and sense of humour made it a lifetime experience for us. We learnt about the ingredients as well as tips and tricks how to properly make pasta and pesto. Each of us had to get their hands dirty. Afterwards, we could enjoy eating not only fruits of our labour but also local appetizers and dessert, accompanied by wine and other beverages. The workshop took place on the terrace in historical part of the city. It was a lovely time, don't hesitate and book it when you are in Genova!

The tour was cancelled last minute without suggestive alternatives

According to the description on the website we should have received a tour through the olive oil mill, an ethnographic museum, an olive oil tasting and a 7-course dinner. Unfortunately, we only received a picnic basket and got to taste one olive oil. It was still a great experience and the view and sunset were beautiful, but it was not as described.

Our cooking class with Fabio and Lisa was one of the best things we did in Puglia. It was such a fun night and we learned so much about local cuisine and wines. Thanks for your incredibly warmth and hospitality. We would highly recommend.

Made a booking for a cooking lesson, paid by Paypal for extra insurance. Received email confirming booking and address details. On the day of lesson, got to the street - couldn't find the building so Whatapped the number I had. Immediate response to say the booking had been cancelled and I had been refunded (I hadn't). Currently attempting to get money back through Paypal. Don't think the address existed as 2 locals could not find the building! Please avoid. Wish I had read the reviews before booking,

I do not speak Italian but i read Spanish and can understand most of the instructions. I cannot wait to attend cooking class with you!

I booked a cooking lesson that the company had cancelled because of instructor issue and I didn’t not get a refund as promised. I’ve tried contacting customer service and I haven’t gotten any responses.

This company is a scam. I paid and they sent me the address for a location that does not exist. When I arrived for my lesson, I learned that there was never a lesson booked. I asked the company and they claimed to have sent me an email canceling the lesson and refunded my money. Neither of those things ever happened. I have been reaching out to customer service, and I am receiving no response to my numerous emails. Stay away!

A wonderful trip, excellent guide and driver , good explanations,
Carrara visit was breath taking. Afterward we visit carrara city with the tips of our guide and this was also 👍
