📖 What the experience describes

The general itinerary starts at campo S. Giacomo di Rialto, near Caffe Vergnano 1882 and the Rialto Bridge. It describes buying ingredients at the market, then cooking and eating at the host's home.

Fresh seafood pasta and focaccia are examples, not a promised menu. The host describes himself as a sailor who specialises in seafood.

How TG1 and TG2 differ

TG2, “Cooking class NO market tour”, expressly excludes the market and lists Campo Santa María Formosa as its meeting point.

TG1 places the class and dinner at the host's home, but its own description does not confirm a market visit. Both options last 3 hours.
