Discover Europe on this historical journey to London, Paris and Rome!  Since the 16^th century this classic tour has been enjoyed by artists and academics alike to explore the culture and philosophy that is so deeply embedded in European society.   

Our Grand Tour begins in London, England; the crux of literature and theatre in Europe.  Here you will experience the works of Shakespeare in historic theatres, attend plays in the Theatre Capitol of the World, and be exposed to the repertoires of many authors, poets and playwrights.

With an architectural backdrop that spans several centuries, our students in London will also discover various works of art situated within some of the most well known palaces, castles and abbeys. And of course, there will be plenty of time to explore some of the best shopping districts in the world, including Portobello and Camden Markets.

Then we are off to Paris, known as the most visited city in the world and one of the compulsory stops for Grand Tour.  With such a spectacular history, this city offers infinite opportunities to investigate its literary and artistic past.   During your stay you will explore all the districts and sites: wander around picturesque Montmartre where the Basilique du Sacré Coeur is situated, walk along the Champs Elysées, and see famous historic buildings including the Arc de Triomphe, Pantheon, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dâme, Pont Neuf (the famous bridge filmed in the "Bourne Identity") and of course enjoy the vibrant Latin Quarter.

And finally we head to Rome, the most essential stop for the Grand Tour, a city where the contemporary meets the classical.  You will have the opportunity to enjoy the bustling city with its fashion forward shopping and major piazzas (central squares), each one with unique monuments, and take a historic walk through the Forum and Palatine Hill, and the ancient Colosseum.

Three great cities to enjoy during the month of August!
