Italy Family Trip Review: Florence, Rome, Colosseum, Vatican City, Cooking Class, History, 9-Day Tour

I would say besides just exploring parts of a new country we have never been in before the most memorable parts of our trip were:
1) The Cooking Class in Florence. We had an amazing session where we went to a market and bought all of our ingredients then went to a studio where together as a family with our chef cooked a multi course meal. Everyone had such a fun time , it was a very memorable experience. 
2) The tour guides we had at the Colosseum and Vatican in Rome were both very memorable. They not only shared amazing history with us and showed us around, they were just good fun people and made the experience memorable.
