Classics school trips & tours
We offer a range of itinerary packages that have been tried and tested by hundreds of Classics & Ancient History school groups. Many of these packages contain everything you’ll need for a complete tour, including your guide and visit options, so our prices are realistic with no hidden costs. Your itinerary can even be built from scratch – simply choose your dates, select your preferred visits, and we’ll do the rest.
With our accompanied and courier options you’ll get in depth destination knowledge as well as practical support. They will enable you to get more benefit from your time outside the classroom and you’ll have the opportunity for one-to-one teaching also. At key historical sites, an additional local guide is usually available to deliver enhanced classical background to each visit.
