Customer Reviews
My boyfriend and I had a great time touring righteous gelato! Our tour guide was very knowledgable, super nice and very passionate which made the experience great. We enjoyed learning about the history of the business and the production of the gelato. We really admired the community related aspects of the business as well. Last but not least we certainly enjoyed tasting all the flavours in the case and getting a float of our favourite flavours at the end. We came to the conclusion that out of all the frozen treat places we had been to over the summer righteous gelato was by far the best! Thank you!
Our family recently visited Righteous Gelato for a tour and it was such a positive experience. We were travelling through Calgary on a holiday so I emailed the company a couple weeks before our trip to ask a few questions and requested the day we would be passing through the city. They responded very promptly and were extremely accommodating. I didn’t realize they weren’t open to the public the day(Wednesday) I had booked the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions. When we went to purchase a few cups of gelato after our tour we were told it was no charge! We were also allowed to stay inside to eat without feeling rushed to leave at all. We purchased 3 pints of gelato for our travels, which were all delicious. We highly recommend the tour and of course the yummy gelato. Thank you again for the experience, we will visit again soon!
My team and I attended the tour and tasting as a work event and it was tons of fun! Miles was a fantastic tour guide and shared lots of interesting facts about gelato and the company. I have recommended this tour to many of my friends and family.
