Why an EF Tours Trip to Athens and Rome Is the Ultimate Educational Experience
As the Winslow Travel Club prepares for Summer 2028, excitement is building for one of the most transformative trips a student can take: an immersive, expertly guided journey through Athens, Greece, and Rome, Italy with EF Educational Tours.
This isn’t just another vacation. It’s an opportunity for students to walk through history, explore world-changing ideas, and build personal confidence — all while discovering two of the world’s most iconic cities.
A Journey That Brings Learning to Life
At its core, this EF Tours experience transforms classroom lessons into real-world adventure. Students won’t just read about ancient civilizations — they’ll stand among the ruins, walk the same streets once trod by philosophers and emperors, and witness firsthand the places that shaped Western history.
In Athens — Birthplace of Democracy and Philosophy
Athens is a city where the past and present coexist seamlessly.
Students will explore the legendary Acropolis of Athens and view the breathtaking Parthenon, symbols of classical architecture. A guided tour through the Ancient Agora of Athens offers the chance to connect philosophical concepts learned in school with their real-world origins.
Winding through the charming Plaka district, students will taste authentic Greek cuisine and experience the vibe that makes Athens a living classroom.
In Rome — The Eternal City of Empire, Art, and Innovation
Rome is a treasure trove of history weaved into everyday life.
Here, students will stand inside the iconic Colosseum, imagining the roar of crowds from centuries past, and explore the ruins of the Roman Forum, the heart of Roman political life.
A visit to St. Peter’s Basilica will showcase Renaissance art at its finest, while tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountainadds a timeless tradition and a moment of joy to the journey.
Students will also enjoy walking tours, savoring local cuisine and learning about Italian culinary traditions.
