An Italian school trip to Florence offers your students the unforgettable experience of learning Italian in its own birthplace!

Florence is also the birthplace of the Renaissance and is an incredible setting for students to enhance their Italian language skills and cultural understanding.

The medieval centre boasts a stunning cathedral, world-renowned art museums, bustling squares and some of the most spectacular architecture in Italy. Your students are certain to return home with a real passion for the Italian culture and language.

Small numbers? Florence offers exceptional opportunities for art and maths too, so why not team up with one of these departments to make your school trip to Florence cross-curricular?

I love offering experiences outside of the classroom to allow children to open their minds to a whole new way of learning. – Gaynor Mayor Education Sales & Product Manager

Don't take our word for it …

The experience has been good. An advisor was available all the time and with any concern I had, I was made to feel important, and they were quick to reassure and provide information. Their travel app and pre-information was good, and the advisors had excellent knowledge of the locations we were going to. But they were also happy to alter the trip to our own needs and specifications. — Carisbrooke College , February 2020
