Yes, private tours are a significant part of this category. About 43% of the options we compare (26 listings) are tagged as private tours. This is unusually high for cooking classes and gives you more flexibility to tailor the menu or pace to your group. The remaining options are primarily guided group tours (45%) or small group formats (7%).

Most packages are designed to be all-inclusive experiences. Roughly 62% of the options include both a guide and drinks, while 53% provide the meals you prepare. Ingredients are provided in about half of the tours, though equipment is only guaranteed in roughly a quarter of the listings. You can expect a complete hands-on session rather than just a demonstration.

The duration typically ranges from 2 to 4.5 hours, with a median experience lasting about 3 hours. This allows enough time for market visits (if applicable), preparation, cooking, and eating the final meal without feeling rushed.

These classes are accessible in 8 languages: English, Italian, French, Spanish, Hungarian, German, Polish, and Portuguese. Since the theme is cultural and food-focused, multilingual support is common to accommodate international travellers.
