A geography trip to Naples and Sorrento provides your students with the opportunity to learn more about life in the shadow of a volcano!

The area around Naples is regarded as one of the most stunning regions of Europe. Each location offers a wealth of options to the geographer, with dramatic landscapes and a strong volcanic presence, as well as offering the opportunity to visit Mt. Vesuvius and the buried towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Sorrento is also a fantastic base for exploring the breathtaking Amalfi Coast and the enchanting Isle of Capri, both of which offer great opportunities to study coastal and rural environments, as well as tourism.

Thinking of turning this into a cross-curricular trip? Naples and Sorrento also offer plenty of exciting opportunities for Italian, classical studies and food technology.

What I love about working in school travel is the fact that we make the World more accessible to children, allowing them to experience different countries and cultures. – Gayle Flude Tour Consultant

Don't take our word for it …

I cannot think of any improvement to suggest. Would like to mention how brilliant Leonor Pereira has been throughout all the planning period. She has always listened and tried to find a solution to all our requests even though some of them were made at a very late stage and all communication was excellent. We are delighted and will definitely book our next trip with you. Valencia is a brilliant destination for groups. Lots to see and do and easy to move about, either on foot or using local transport. Our students have loved it. — Bedford Girls' School , April 2019
