Rome is a city of many joys which appeal to the senses. No matter how excited you are to visit the iconic monuments Rome is so famous for, and touring the Vatican with Maximus Tours, you should also be tempted by the prospect of gorging on nothing but pure Italian bliss in the form of pasta, pizzas and of course the famous gelato.
Better yet, why not learn to make some of these foods for yourself, like Gelato! This way, when you go home you take back more than just memories and souvenirs. Putting a gelato making class in your itinerary will definitely add flavour to your experience of Rome.
Many visitors opt for food tours of Rome to master and or learn Italian cooking skills.

These classes are a great group and family activity so don’t be afraid to come with the kids. So, let us guide you through some of the popular options where you can learn to make your own scoops.
