Traditional Cooking class in Agrigento

I booked this tour because it was a cooking class at an olive oil farm with olive oil tasting and a tour of an olive mill. This NOT at an olive mill. It is at a home in a residential area in Agrigento. The hosts were kind, but it was not what we paid for or were expecting. Instead of learning to cook pasta, sauce and cannolis, we learned to make only the pasta and then were given octopus, squid and mackerel all boiled and grilled. We were not given any notice about the strange foods and no one in our family- especially the children— like seafood. We are landlocked in Colorado. Particularly not strange boiled seafood. No one ate anything except the pasta and the awkwardness of being in someone’s home left us feeling pressured to try off-putting gelatinous seafoods. One adult in our party vomited because of eating foods that caused such disgust for people unfamiliar with them. We requested a refund due to false representation of this cooking experience. The tour operator and Viator should be diligent about accurately representing tours. Literally no olive farm in sight. And if such strange foods (to Americans) are to be served it should be made apparent in the description. Very disappointed in Viator for not making this right.

It was great! The food we prepared was delicious, the hosts were wonderful. But it is a home restaurant, not a farm.

Viel Spass, gute Anleitung, gutes Essen, nette Gastgeber. Alles perfekt, nur ist und war das nie eine Olivenfarm.
