Excursions
Thanks to the collaboration with our travel agency 500 viaggi, we are proud to be the only school in Italy offering tours to 30 of the most beautiful cities in our Bel Paese, all included in the full program price.
The 4-week package includes both half-day and full-day excursions, as well as 2-day tours, with students always accompanied by their teachers.
It is a simple yet surprising idea that allows you to stay in comfortable 3- and 4- stars hotels while exploring different cities and unique landscapes. You will have the chance to live meaningful experiences, enjoy the local nightlife, and end each day knowing you will wake up ready to explore somewhere new, and taste the rich variety of wines and foods that make our cuisine so special — truly making the most of your time in Italy.
