What to expect on a History trip to Europe

Students should expect a fast-paced, awe-inspiring journey through the most significant archaeological sites in the Mediterranean. The tour begins in Rome, exploring the heights of the Empire, before heading south to the "frozen" city of Pompeii. Crossing the sea to Greece, the focus shifts to classical philosophy and Olympic history, providing a comprehensive understanding of how these two Great Civilizations influenced art, politics, and society.
