While ice cream and gelato do have some similar ingredients, they produce a different result.

Gelato uses less fat and is typically made with milk and not cream, unlike ice cream. Some gelato flavors do not use any dairy at all, especially those which are made with summer fruits. Italians also pride themselves very seriously in only using the freshest ingredients. They take great care in using the best quality they can find, and through the gelato-making process, they work on letting the natural flavors of each ingredient shine through.

ABOUT OUR 6 PEOPLE SMALL GROUP POLICY
When you book a LivItaly Small Group Tour, you are guaranteed one tour guide per group of 6 people.

As we accept bookings in multiples of six, math doesn’t always work in our favor to help accommodate individual travelers and their families when on the same tour, so we hope you understand and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
