Open Enrollment Tour

Classical Exploration

Classical Exploration moves between two of the ancient world's most consequential cities — Rome and Athens — with a coastal pause in Sorrento that gives students a chance to breathe before crossing the Adriatic. Over nine days, your group traces the arc of Western civilization from the Roman Forum and the Colosseum to the Acropolis and the Parthenon, standing inside the places historians have spent careers writing about. That's the through-line here: not just reading about antiquity, but walking through it.

What teachers say

Verified by teachers — two ways.

On the left, the public Trustpilot reviews any group leader can write — and any future group leader can read. On the right, quotes from the private post-tour evaluation that every group leader fills out after their trip ends. See all teacher evaluations.

Reviews on Trustpilot are public and verified. Trustpilot prohibits companies from paying to have them removed — so what teachers say here is exactly what teachers said about traveling with Passports.
