I liked that it was in someone’s home, authentic I didn’t like the broken up task of making the tarts, so the finale tarts were not your own, and others had touched food being prepared I didn’t like the mix of group, with young children involved, who were unable to do. It would have been ok if each parent allowed their child to take part with there’s I have previously been on a pasta class, but it had an age placed against it- eg. 10yrs

Meeting point

Your host’s home is just 10 minutes away by car from Porto city center. It’s recommended to use Bolt, or Uber for a fast ride. If you’re traveling with more than two people, it is the cheapest and fastest way. If you have your own car, there are free parking spots in the street. If traveling by bus from Bolhão, you can take bus 800 or 801 that stops just across the street from the house (direct 20-minute ride). Keep in mind that you can only buy the ticket inside the bus with coins. If traveling by metro from Trindade Station, you can take the Orange Metro Line (direct 30-minute ride) and leave at the Fânzeres stop, after which it takes about a 10-minute walk (700 meters) to reach the house. When arriving to the address the host is waiting for you inside her home, please ring the doorbell with the writtings " 2 Andar".
