Itinerary
For this Semi-Private Gelato Making Class you will meet local gelato experts at one of Florence's (and Italy's) oldest Italian Gelato Academy, a family owned and run establishment known for its exceptional artisanal gelato. You will be learning from the real pros in the field! In this one hour class you will learn all the secrets, all the ingredients and their dosages, and what makes gelato different from ice cream. Then you get to put all that you've learned into practice by making your very own gelato flavour from scratch! But it doesn't end here...While your gelato churns away, go behind the counter and learn how to serve and scoop gelato like a real pro! It doesn't get more fun than this. Or at least not until you get to taste your handy work and eat your very own made gelato! Now that's a skill you won't forget and are sure to show off to your guests at home!

Traveler reviews
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.
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.
Gelato Fantastico!!
Absolutely fantastic! Such a fun, tasty and educational experience with an amazing gelato expert! We enjoyed every minute of this exclusive experience. Highly recommend Vetulio Bondi’s gelato as the very best - in Florence and beyond!
Gelato with Vetulio!
Gelato making with Vetulio was amazing! He was great with the kids, engaging, funny and made the best gelato we have tasted!
