Why Rome?
Rome has everything any history or classics teacher could ever wish for. With so many well-preserved chances to delve into the heart of ancient Rome, it doesn’t take much imagination to bring the city to life.
From the ‘big ticket’ attractions like the Colosseum, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, to eating gelatos in the Piazza Navona, it’s easy to get lost in all the possibilities the city offers. Let us structure your visit to help avoid the crowds and really get to know one of Europe’s most vibrant cities.
With plenty of flight options from London and regional airports, clement weather all year round and packages to suit all budgets, we’d love to help you plan your next trip to Rome. And why not consider combining with a Naples or Sorrento tour to maximise your time in Italy?

Example Itineraries
Our educational travel experts have spent considerable time crafting a selection of ready-made itineraries for your Enrichment Study trip to Rome, which you will find below. However, we can also create a tailored itinerary to meet the educational needs of your group.
Arrive in Rome and transfer to your accommodation. You’ll be starting off beneath the city as you venture into the Catacombs to learn about ancient burial rituals. It’s also an important reference point for early Christian art with many depictions still visible on the walls. Later today visit Caracalla Baths and Circus Maximus to understand how local communities lived during Roman Empire. It’s been a long first day so have a relaxed meal at the hotel and get ready for day two.
DAY 2
After a continental breakfast it’s time visit to the Colosseum. One of Rome’s most iconic monuments, at its height it could hold 80,000 people. Next, explore the Roman Forum which was the beating heart of ancient Rome, holding processions, markets and statues to the city’s major figures. It’s then a short walk to admire the views from Palatine Hill. After lunch, put theory into practice and take part in an unforgettable 2-hour Gladiator School Experience. Enjoy an evening meal at a local restaurant to sample some Italian cuisine before heading back to the hotel.
DAY 3
Breakfast at the hotel. In the morning visit the world’s smallest sovereign state and home of the Pope; Vatican City. Whilst inside the city, take the chance to explore St Peter’s Basilica, Vatican Museum and world-famous Sistine Chapel. After lunch, make your way to Castel Sant’Angelo, the tomb of the Emperor Hadrian. Head back to the hotel and have dinner to look back on a packed third day.
DAY 4
Breakfast at the hotel and sadly it’s time to check out. Contextualise your stay in this incredible city with a walking tour starting with Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, all the way through to the famous Pantheon.
