A woman artist in a man world… she is great and talented,the sandals are beautiful. Workroom organized and gave us the feeling to stay and work more. Also if you like tailored shoes she is the one…. Everybody loves tailored Italian shoes and these ones with a femme touch, we will order online soon. (Nop I am not her family and met her in the experience)
We made beautiful sandals and brought incredible souvenirs. All in all, it is an unforgettable experience. Francesca is very friendly and everything went very smoothly.
While this was a bit ambitious for the less-practiced cyclists in our family, Nicola was very caring in accommodating us all. It was an unique insight into the emerging and contemporary corners of Rome, as well as some hidden special hidden highlights and flavours. This personalised tour really brought to life a side of Rome outside the guide book.
We had a fantastic pizza-making class with Massimo! He was patient with our busy boys and kept them engaged. Thank you for a fun and delicious experience!
Massimo hosted us in his home for a wonderful 2 hour pizza-making class. He kept our kids (7 and 9) engaged and involved in every step of the process, while answering any and all questions we had about Rome culture, history and cuisine. The pizza was delicious and the fried pizza balls were incredible. Would highly recommend this experience!
Francesca is fun, funny, and just delightful. She walked us through the steps of making sandals. It’s a little bit artsy and a little bit of manual labor. Very fun experience. She steps in to help at difficult parts. We thoroughly enjoyed our whole time!
This was our 2nd tour with Valentina, who is AMAZING (knowledgeable and organized with a warm and friendly personality). We took it just as it got dark for some extra atmosphere. It was not a creepy tour and we loved walking the city in the dark, seeing less touristy neighborhoods, haunted sites and learning about the history of the ghosts was fascinating.
We had the best time with Francesca! She was personable, very knowledgeable and so helpful. When we arrived she greeted us with a warm smile and delicious snacks. She explained the process and we got started right away. We got to choose the style and leather colors. We actually did the work and she checked every step. We ended up with such beautiful sandals.
Although we did have trouble finding the studio once we arrived it was amazing. We had a great learning experience and phenomenal conversation. I would recommend this experience to anyone and everyone. So informative. Thanks again Francesca. It was a great way to kick off our trip!!!
I took my friend to do this for her birthday while we were in town, and I couldn't have asked for a cooler experience! Francesca is amazing and getting to take part in the tradition of making Italian leather sandals was incredible. Also basically the best souvenir you could ever come home with. Thank you for opening your studio doors to us!
