Our Religious Studies tour to Vatican City, the world centre of the Catholic Church, and Rome has been designed to compliment GCSE Religious Study units: It will give students a better understanding of worship, ritual and pilgrimage and of the foundation, development and spread of Catholicism. Students will leave with more appreciation of the extent and power of The Vatican throughout history and of how the church has changed over the centuries. They will also gain an insight into the pagan religious tradition of the Roman Empire through visiting the Colosseum, where so many Christians were killed and the Catacombs where they were secretly buried.
Day 1
Take a morning flight and arrive in Rome in the afternoon. Time to explore the local area.
Day 2
Travel to Vatican City to explore the sites, including St Peter’s Basilica, The Vatican Museum and Library, The Sistine Chapel and The Vatican Gardens.
Day 3
Excursion to the San Callisto Catacombs, which houses 40 ancient underground catacombs and contains the majority of examples of Christian art before 400 AD. Afternoon trip to Tivoli to visit Hadrian’s Villa.
Day 4
A day in Rome. See the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine, the forum and the ruins of the centre of ancient Rome, the Apostolic Palace and Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore.

Once your student travel tour is booked, it is safely in our hands. We will only ask for you assistance in understanding your specific requirements and you will be responsible for ensuring that the dates on our checklist are adhered to. During the process, we will also ask you to provide accurate student and teacher name, passport and dietary requirement details where appropriate.
We agree a three-stage process so that payments can be staggered to make it easier for parents.
We can send you mini-brochures to hand out at school and a PowerPoint presentation for assemblies and parent’s meetings you may wish to hold. We also have an interactive promotional poster you can put up on walls and noticeboards. This will make it easier for you to get your students excited about your plans.
