The Highlight Of Our Trip! - This experience was the highlight of our whole trip. We had the best time learning about the history of gelato & engaging in the making of the most delicious gelato. Vetulio is fabulous. So knowledgeable, such a character. My children absolutely adored him. Highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Florence.

Fun, tasty, and easy class - I had a blast on the gelato-making tour! Not only was it tasty, but it was fun and informative. LivTours was great with communication and making sure I knew where to be and at one time. Our gelato specialist was renowned and taught the group so much about the gelato-making process. We made two types and they were both delicious. As a solo person, I enjoyed meeting others and being part of the group. Highly recommend!

Do it! - We had the best time doing this! My husband and I, plus my father and 2 boys (6 and 7) were engaged and laughing the whole time. We learned a lot, but he kept the boys attention the whole time. It was very hands on. The gelato was delicious and we left all smiles! Definitely a highlight of our trip and I fully recommend it for families!

Gelato Making in Florence with Liv Tours - My husband and I had a fantastic time joining Liv Tour's Gelato Making Class and Vetulio Bondi, learning about and making gelato in his family-run Gelateria. He was informative, but more importantly, so much fun! If you want to expand beyond the beautiful churches and sites of Florence, I'd encourage you to take a few hours to make gelato and to get a true "taste" of Florence.

Amazing experience - Our Family Gelato Making Class with Vetulio Bondi was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, it was an experience we'll cherish forever. Vetulio's expertise in crafting sorbet and gelato that's as smooth and creamy as it gets was evident throughout the class. His passion for the art of gelato-making was infectious, and he had a remarkable ability to guide us, even with our varying levels of experience. But what truly left a lasting impression was the taste. The gelato we made together was, without a doubt, the best gelato of our lives. The flavors were rich, the texture was velvety, and each bite was a burst of pure delight. This class was not just about making dessert; it was a bonding experience for our family. We laughed, learned, and created delicious memories together. Vetulio Bondi's gelato class is a must for anyone looking to indulge in a sweet adventure and savor the best gelato they've ever tasted. We can't wait to return for more!

Gelato making - My 2 x 10yo children and myself enjoyed this experience. We made strawberry sorbet and stratticela gelato. The first 40mins was a talk on Italian history and then making the gelato. The experience was with 2 other people. We enjoyed however it was expensive for what it was.

Informative and interactive Gelato Class, but few disappointments - Review is for LivTours Small Group Gelato Class- Overall informative and interactive, host is enthusiastic and engaging. But this class was a lot of talking by the host and giving information about gelato history, gelato making, science and techniques etc, all relevant but tough to engage younger children. When the time came to make gelatos, host was very engaging with children, getting them to do the measurements and pouring, mixing etc. The room is very small and chairs only for 6 people, our group had total 7 people, my child had no chair available, was offered a small stool. A bigger room would have been ideal. Instructions said to meet at the street corner for a guide with LivTours flag, but that wasn’t the case, we waited and when no one showed up, we went to Gelato shop and found the host there. Host, though very cheerful and enthusiastic, did not take questions well, his answer to a question- ‘How is gelato different from ice-cream’ he answered by saying -‘Were you not here when I was explaining it earlier’ His conversations involved around how his gelato classes are fully booked and only time he doesn’t do tours is when he is traveling around the world teaching.
