Thank you to everyone for your input! We are considering the Italy trip to Rome, Florence, and Venice. I am happy to hear the positive experiences at the kids-only events. I reached out to ABD and asked them the same question. They were extremely helpful and said all activities are optional and there is flexibility with the events. In some cases, the adults can join the kids and other times, the kids can join the adults. We are still trying to decide whether ABD is the right fit for us, especially considering the price tag!
