Overview

With an artistic heritage dating back to Etruscan times, Rome is one of the world's great art cities and a must for an Art and Design school tour.

Throughout history, it has played a starring role in the major upheavals of Western art and the results are there for all to see - amazing classical statues, stunning Renaissance frescoes, breathtaking baroque decor.

Walk around the centre and even without trying you'll come across masterpieces by the greats of the artistic pantheon - sculptures by Michelangelo, paintings by Caravaggio, frescoes by Raphael and fountains by Bernini. In Rome, art is not locked away from view, it's quite literally all around you.

This trip was so professionally organised from day one. Monique was very efficient and I was more than satisfied with the level of communication while we were actually on the trip.
