I took them on the perfect route to hit dinner at Antica Taverna (one of my favorites), gelato from Frigidarium (they dip your gelato in chocolate and it hardens), get through Piazza Navona and do the walk around the fountain while giving history, walk to the Pantheon completely unsuspecting (the reason why I fell in love with it ...
