This was a very fun and informative cooking class. You will definitely not leave hungry. We feasted on our freshly made Apple strudel, vanilla kipferls, and wonderful gulasch soup. Note, drinks are not included in the program price but are an additional charge. The drink selection is large and all are reasonably priced. We had a fun time making these delicious desserts, and feasting on our creations. There were plenty of leftovers which they packaged for us. Would definitely rate this as a priority when in Salzburg.

Good activity and neat...

Charlotte_P, Jan 2024

Good activity and neat location but wasn't really cooking. He hands you dough for cookies and dough already made for strudel.

Not as hands on as you’d think

Amy_P, Dec 2023

I don’t like leaving a bad review but the experience underwhelmed me. I expected much more hands on. As a single traveler I was paired up with a small family with a child. They were wonderful but I felt compelled to allow them to do the minimum number of steps in the baking process that we were able to do. The instructors were very kind and knowledgeable but the price paid for the class does not represent the value it is worth.

Delicious and fun

Bri_M, Dec 2023

This cooking class was so much fun!! Everything was easy and the instructor was fun and relaxed. The lunch that was provided was DELICIOUS as well. Everyone was just chatty and having fun, would definitely do again!

Great Experience in Salzburg!

John_M, Dec 2023

Fun but overpriced

Jessica_N, Dec 2023

This class was fun and entertaining. I do feel it's extremely overpriced considering we don't really cook... All the ingredients are pre-chopped and premade. I understand dough needs to rest, but we could still go through the motions of preparing the dough as they do in other classes. It's essentially an assembly class. It was a fun class overall and the instructors were charming. Another note is they should ask people to not use phones during the dough portion of the class, because people kept using their phones after washing their hands and proceeded to work the dough.

Wonderful afternoon with the family

Bonnie_W, Dec 2023

A wonderful day for the whole family. The instructors were very knowledgeable and took their time to answer all the questions. The apple strudel was easy to make and we plan on making the dessert when we get home. The cookies were melt in your mouth delicious. The lunch was flavorful and filling. Highly recommend this experience, great family bonding time.

Tasty and Educational at the Same Time!

Christine_C, Dec 2023

We had a great time making strudel and cookies. Met some very nice people and enjoyed learning how to make the strudel…surprisingly easy and delicious. Hoping to duplicate the process when we get back home!

Recommend the recipes but prepare to spend more

Victoria_R, Dec 2023

Really good recipes and nice biscuits and strudel we made. Slick delivery but felt a little rushed at the end which was a shame. It was also a little bit of a shame that no drink was included at all as this made it quite expensive to make some biscuits and strudel. Even the “welcome” drink and the coffee cost more money which left a bit of a poor taste in the mouth. That being said it was a nice atmosphere other than that and the food we made (not the thin soup which counted as lunch) was nice.

Great Fun!

Kathryn_H, Dec 2023

I just loved this! The cooking school is very quaint. The instructor was great. Met some fun and interesting people (which I enjoyed as a solo traveler). Lunch was delicious and so were the cookies and strudel. Would highly recommend.

Worth it

Michael_B, Dec 2023

Unique setting to bake in, easy to follow and do, great result. Was most enjoyable. Cannot wait to try it at home.

Just do it!

Lisa_S, Dec 2023

I have always wanted to do a strudel class when traveling to Austria but never made time until this trip. It was so much fun! A great hands on class. Our instructor was excellent and the instructions are actually quite simple. The finished product and lunch were perfect. I would highly recommend this class while in Salzburg.

A taste of Salzburg

Korri_B, Dec 2023

We loved the class and the staff was friendly and helpful! The goulas luncheon, followed by apple strudel and cookies were delicious!

Outstanding time baking with family!

James_S, Dec 2023

Wonderful time learning to bake strudel and Christmas cookies with my wife and little girls. Will cherish the memories and add the recipes to our Christmas traditions back in the US.

Stretch your baking talent

Janet_R, Dec 2023

The strudel making process was fun. Stretching the dough was amazing. We lived tasting our creation.

It was great

Travis_C, Dec 2023

This was one of our favorite experiences in Salzburg and was glad we did it. The apple strudel was easy to make. Lunch was nice and instructions can be found on their Facebook page afterwards. Would recommend it to a friend.

Extremely enjoyable!

Janice_B, Dec 2023

Making the strudel was so much fun! The lunch soup was unexpected and very welcome had we did more site seeing after class.

Must do this experience!

emiliacox, Dec 2023

A really lovely experience that lived up to expectations. A great way to experience Salzburg. A lovely company which has good values, with the instructor having a massive amount of knowledge around Austrian food. We had someone collapse and require an ambulance and this was dealt with extremely professionally while taking care of all the guests.

Recommend!

morgancolony, Nov 2023

I would highly recommend this experience! It was the perfect amount time and we enjoyed learning about and tasting strudel.

Yummy and Fun

Amy_S, Nov 2023

We have used Viator in multiple cities and this was by far one of the best tours/activities we’ve participated in! Everyone, hosts and other visitors were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious! Loved it!

Good class, great food

Elaine_B, Nov 2023

Super class, well organized and easy to follow! The chef gives you good instructions. We were served a soup and got to taste our work and take home the leftovers.
