Florence Semi-Private Gelato Making Experience with Max 6 People

It was okay.

This isn’t a hands on class. You will sit and learn from the store owner who is a gelato expert and extremely knowledgable on the subject. My son who is a chef enjoyed this. I was hoping for a more hands on experience where we all were able yo participate.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that your son, especially with his background as a chef, enjoyed learning from our knowledgeable gelato expert. While this experience is more focused on learning the art and techniques of traditional gelato making than a fully hands-on cooking class, there are still opportunities for guests to participate, including preparing fruit, mixing ingredients, and tasting different flavours along the way. We appreciate your feedback and will continue looking for ways to make these hands-on moments even more engaging for our guests. Thank you again for joining us in Florence!

Interesting but not worth the price tag

It was very expensive for what it was. The kitchen was very small, we mostly just watched the guide make gelato. He was very friendly and nice, which made the experience positive but it wasn’t worth the price.

Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your gelato-making class. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not feel like good value for money on this occasion. We’re glad, however, that you found the instructor friendly and welcoming. This is something we place a lot of importance on, as we believe a positive and engaging atmosphere is a key part of the experience. We also want to clarify for future guests that this is designed as an intimate, artisanal workshop held in a small traditional gelateria in Florence, where guests are shown authentic gelato-making techniques by a professional gelatiere. Because of the size and nature of these working kitchens, the format is necessarily a mix of demonstration and guided participation rather than a fully hands-on class for every step. This allows guests to observe professional methods up close and take part in key stages of the process, while maintaining the authenticity of a real production environment. We understand that expectations around level of participation and value can vary, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue to refine how we present the experience to future travelers.

Very informative and...

Very informative and enjoyable experience! Chef Bondi's passion was clear from the beginning, explaining everything clearly, giving us a quick history and science lesson, and answered all our questions without fail. The gelato itself was some of the best we've ever had--even more enjoyable knowing we helped make it ourselves. We would love to do something like this again. Highly recommend for everyone to try!

A fantastic experience!

We LOVE Livtours! This is our third experience with them and it's always been absolutely fantastic. Aldo who guided us through the gelato making process was an absolute delight - I can't speak highly enough about him or this experience. It was an hour long, just the right amount of time, and we were really able to get to grips to what goes in to making the worlds best gelato. Thank you Aldo and Livtours.
