Paris and Rome

Paris and Rome have each shaped Western civilization in distinct ways — one through Enlightenment philosophy, revolutionary politics, and the most visited art museum on earth; the other through an empire that once governed half the known world. This eight-day small-group tour moves between both capitals, giving students the rare chance to draw direct comparisons between two cultures that have influenced art, architecture, language, and government for centuries. Starting in Paris and finishing in Rome, the itinerary gives your group three full days in each city, enough time to go beyond surface-level sightseeing and actually absorb what makes each place distinct.
