To get an affordable cooking school tour in Italy, ask for what you want.
If you see an Italian cooking school tour you like, but the price is wrong for you, ask the tour operator for what you want. Their yes answer may surprise you!
Here’s a true story. A Canadian couple was attracted to a four day cooking, wine and walking tour in Piedmont’s Barolo wine country in Italy. Even though the tour was based at a historic hotel and was for just the two of them, the price of 1620 Euros a person (about $2673 Cdn, $2187 US), was beyond their budget this year. They told the tour operator they liked the tour but wanted to pay half that price.
The tour operator asked them what was most important to them for their tour. She redesigned the tour so they stayed at a simple B&B, didn’t take a cooking lesson they weren’t interested in anyway, and had their farewell dinner at the B&B instead of an elegant restaurant.
The new price was 40% less at 1045 Euros (about $1724 Cdn, $1411 US). This time they said yes!
