Our expert consultants and specialist guides are hand-picked for their in-depth understanding and first-hand knowledge of destinations.

This way, your group can be sure of a journey that’s not only tailored to study themes, but also provides food for thought on a whole host of

beliefs. Students are encouraged to ponder fundamental questions whilst developing their own credo and attitudes. The unique

knowledge our guides possess means that RS and History trips can quite often be combined as a way to get even more value from your

tour. We pride ourselves in being the only school tour operator with a Government Customer Service Excellence Award and on being voted Best School Tour Operator for the second year running.

Rome -The History of Christianity

TEACHER’S TOP VISITS

St Peter’s BasilicaWorld famous church and burial site of St Peter, St Peter’s

Basilica is regarded as one of the holiest Catholic sites.

The tomb of John Paul II is located in the grottoes below the

floor of the Basilica and can be visited by the public,

although there can be large crowds there.

Vatican Museums And Sistine ChapelThe world’s most famous chapel, the Sistine Chapel is

housed within the Vatican Museums, where you will see the

infamous frescoes by Michelangelo.

We recommend a full day in the Vatican City to take in these

iconic sights that will really help your students to understand

the history of Christianity.

I feel as though without the effort and commitment shown by the WST team I would never have been able to do this trip which I have wanted to do since starting teaching 8 years ago. Jenny and Julie were fantastic in assisting me to run what can only be described as an amazing trip.St Edmund Arrowsmith, Krakow
