This is a great way to spend an early evening on Ischia. Marzia is very friendly and the whole experience was fun and enjoyable. I learnt some history and made a cute cup out of clay. The studio is also full of beautiful and interesting pottery. Definitely recommended! It was great for me as a solo traveller, but I can also see that would be fun with a group of friends. Also, it finishes early enough that you can still do other things that evening as well.

5 out of 5 stars

Everything worked out great. The meeting points were easy to find. There was an emergency number just in case. Ischia is worth a quiet day trip and Forio is super beautiful. You should definitely visit the church by the water. We went on a short hike there and recommend the botanical gardens "La Mortella"
