Noah — United States Our guide, Sofia, was amazing with our kids, she kept them laughing and curious while eating local pizza, gelato, etc. Sofia made sure everyone felt included and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. It was a great way for our kids to connect with Italian culture and for us parents to enjoy authentic Roman flavors together.
