When is the best time for a school trip to Rome?

The Romans have a phrase for the unseasonably warm autumn sunshine that arrives in October – “Ottobrata Romana” – making it a great time of year to visit as there aren’t huge crowds but the weather is still good. In general, April-October provides good weather.

How will we travel around Rome?

We will travel around Rome mostly on foot, and sometimes by using the Metro – even this can elicit Roman treasures, with Line C showing visitors archaeological treasures on display as you descend underground. For larger groups, we can use a private coach for longer journeys.

Can I customise the itinerary?

Absolutely! All our tours are fully customisable, allowing you to include specific sites or activities tailored to your group’s interests and curriculum.
