Step back in time and explore Rome, where history comes alive in Italy’s ancient capital!
Educational student tours to Italy are among our most popular, and it’s easy to see why. With potential stops in Rome, Florence, Venice, and beyond, this stunning country offers students a rich, immersive experience. Built on seven hills and layered with centuries of civilization, Rome is a captivating mix of ruins, monuments, fountains, piazzas, and museums. On an EA student tour, you’ll discover what it truly means to be Italian—through the people, places, and vibrant culture that define this unforgettable city.
From the Roman Forum and Colosseum to the Vatican Museums, St. Peter’s Basilica, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, and Trevi Fountain, Rome’s iconic sites await. Stroll through the ancient ruins of the Forum—once a bustling marketplace and political center—then step inside one of Italy’s most recognized monuments, the Colosseum. Serving as the largest amphitheater of the Roman Empire, here you will have a chance to imagine the gladiators who once battled there. Widely considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering, the Colosseum has a fascinating history. Your student tour will also lead you to Vatican City, the smallest independent state in the world and home to St. Peter’s Basilica.
It’s inside the city’s walls where students and educators will admire one of the holiest Catholic sites and masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. Don’t miss the Sistine Chapel, a true highlight for art and history lovers! Another must-see on a student tour is the Pantheon. One of the best-preserved monuments of ancient Rome, the Pantheon boasts the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome nearly 2,000 years after it was built.
Of course, no Roman adventure is complete without soaking in the atmosphere at Piazza Navona with some world-famous gelato in hand. Finally, before your educational student tour comes to an end, toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain. It’s the largest Baroque fountain in the city, and one of the most famous fountains in the world. Legend holds that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a return to The Eternal City.
Italy is a spectacular destination for student and teacher travel—offering unforgettable opportunities to experience “La Dolce Vita.” Savor the cuisine, admire the monuments, and fall in love with the heart of Italy.
