- Any memorable meals (fancy or hole in the wall places) that we should look into?
- Any wineries that we should hit? For reds, we love big/bold wines.

Thanks for the input - definitely leaning towards getting some Tuscan time in there instead of strictly Rome/Florence....

Bumping thread as to not start a new thread on Italy, and I've already asked a few questions here.
Booked to in/out of Rome for Thanksgiving week.
What are the best areas to stay in both Rome and Florence to get an authentic stay and be close enough to walk everywhere, but not be in the super...

Yes, fun vibe. The performers from the show next-door walk around and perform randomly. We went right as they opened because we were going to another show, but there was still plenty of action. They have a fresh mozzarella app that they come to your table to make that is pretty cool, and make sure t...

[quote]Everybody who goes to London ends up disappointed[/quote]
Agree. It was good to see for a couple of days, but we enjoyed Paris so much more. We had our kids with us, and the only part of London they ever mention was going to a Chelsea/Tottenham match but remember in great detail almost eve...

We took the train and loved seeing the small villages in France, each with its own church. Very charming. It was very convenient and we upgraded on the train so that we could enjoy the views with a little privacy/comfort. Once in Pa...

Went with the family to London and then Paris for Mardi Gras 2020- literally at the Covid outbreak. It was cold but not crazy cold. Definitely doable - I think we over prepared and it wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be. ...

You're right, because I know that's going to happen...
We were considering doing Rome on the front end of the trip and then finding a villa in Tuscany and then do day trips from there for the middle of the trip, then a day or two and fly out of Florence...just worried the kids will be bored there...
