Totally worth booking this class.
Fabrizio is a fun and expert chef. We really enjoyed the class and the gelato was really good. The chef was very attentive and energetic. It was my daughter’s birthday and he made her feel special. We all sang happy birthday to her, she was really happy. The place is easy to find and very clean. As for the ice cream, it turned out spectacular, really creamy and with the perfect balance of sweetness. Fabrizio explains very well and everyone in the class got to participate in at least in part of the gelato confection process.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the class and the gelato, and we’re especially happy that Fabrizio could make your daughter’s birthday extra special! It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another sweet experience soon! 🍦🎂❤️

The best ice cream!
An excellent experience! The master ice cream chef taught us all the secrets (and more!) to make delicious ice cream, using top-of-the-line elements. The kids had a great time, they participated in the entire preparation. Thanks for such a lovely memory!
Response from the operator: ¡Muchas gracias por compartir vuestra experiencia! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutasteis del taller y que los chicos se lo pasaron genial. ¡Esperamos volver a veros pronto para crear más recuerdos juntos! 🍦❤️

The ice cream class you will definitely want to attend in Florence
This class was fun and engaging. The cook was great at teaching us how to make gelato and ice cream.. The small group atmosphere gave us the opportunity to have a really hands-on experience. Bellissimo.!
Response from the operator: Dear Jensen, Thank you so much for your kind feedback! It’s very important for us to receive this kind of review — it motivates us to keep improving and sharing our passion. We’re really glad you enjoyed the class and the hands-on experience. Grazie mille and… arrivederci! Best regards, In Tavola Team

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence Gelato Making Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence Gelato Making Class cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Florence Gelato Making Class take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Florence Gelato Making Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Florence Gelato Making Class?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Florence Gelato Making Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence Gelato Making Class?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence Gelato Making Class start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Florence Gelato Making Class?
+
Included: Bottled water; Recipes; and Snacks. Not included: We do not offer any other extra services. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Florence Gelato Making Class?
+
Cooking lessons are held at Via dei Velluti, 20 r. Firenze, so close to Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti. It is easily accessible by public transportation: ATAF Bus N°11, D, 6. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Florence Gelato Making Class offered in?
+
It is offered in English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Florence Gelato Making Class?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Florence Gelato Making Class wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Florence. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
