I loved seeing all of the sites and learning about the history of those places. It was beautiful to see Italy, especially when connecting it to Classic Literature. Every church was spectacular and gorgeously decorated—traveling with Alithea was a great experience.

I loved all of the thoughtful conversation. Our guides were present and open to connecting, creating a rich and comfortable experience throughout the trip. One of my favorite days was Paestum and the beach, where an environment of contemplation and rest made the experience indelible.

The workshops and talks with artisans, craftsmen, and locals. It was the highlight of the trip. Though tours of grand cathedrals and castles was great, being able to meet those who help weave the grand tapestry of Spanish architectural history was indispensable.

This trip exceeded all my expectations. Italy’s rich history came to life through thoughtfully curated experiences, with knowledgeable guides and immersive visits to iconic landmarks. Jessie and Giada’s kindness and positive energy made the journey even more special—I left a piece of my heart in Rome and Florence.

Alithea delivered a travel experience filled with beauty, delight, and adventure. Living out the Classics in Rome, Florence, and Pompei brought history, culture, and learning to life. The knowledge and enthusiasm of the guides, thoughtful details, shared meals, and daily moments together created wonderful fellowship—truly a trip of a lifetime.

The whole trip was fantastic. The tour guides were engaged and the trip was costume fit to our interests.

My two favorite moments were watching sunset from the top of Brunelleschi’s dome, and our time at Castello DI Bossi. My favorite activities were watching the glass blowing at the glass cathedral, and the incredible tour we got at the Palazzo Colona

Best fun was spending the day with Marillia's family to get a real authentic Greek experience. My personal favorite was going to St. Andreas in Patras and seeing the relics of the apostle Andrew.

Linnea C.

My favorite moment was spending the day with Marilia's family. As much as I love history and the building arts (and all the sites we saw left a huge impact on me) that day with her family we got the most greek experience possible, and that was very special.

There was never a bad moment. Getting guided through St. Marks square when we first got to Venice was amazing. climbing the Duomo, having free time to walk around th shops before dinner in all the cities. The Sienna museum.

It's not merely a trip to historic site of the classical world; it's a calling to an embodied experience.

Educational travel represents a return to the original places and ideas that define Western Civilization. 

Like discovering a great text in the original language or listening to a symphony performed live, a classical approach to travel invites students to experience the power of place as an immersive experience of truth, beauty, and goodness.
