School Group Trips: Italian Language and Culture, Lucca

Lucca is a beautiful town in Tuscany which still  has its original medieval walls circling the town, creating a picturesque ring of green around the centre.  Famous for its specialist food shops, family run cafes and restaurants and Puccini festival, Lucca is a safe and friendly place to learn Italian and has plenty to offer school group study trips.

Our tailormade school group trips in Lucca can include cookery classes, visits to olive oil farms and a trip to nearby Florence or Pisa as well as intensive closed group Italian lessons.

“Our students had a wonderful time in Lucca. The host families were so accommodating and lovely. All host families made such an effort with our students in the evening playing games, cooking them amazing meals and also ensuring that the students felt encouraged when speaking Italian. All of our school requirements were also adhered to. The lessons were really well delivered and the staff at the school were supportive and pitched their lessons at the perfect level. The students felt that they spoke and learnt lots, and cant wait to go back again! “

“The guided tour from the school was excellent – the guide was the best we have ever had for this activity and the students really enjoyed it. The cooking activity was good  too – Antonella the host was really sweet

The service we received from the host school was really outstanding. They were super welcoming and very good at communicating via text when we were out of the school and were happy to pick up the phone and call families/book restaurants and check information for us, and the teachers were excellent – the girls really liked them.

Thank you for all your help, as always. The trip was a great success, we are already looking forward to our next school trip to Lucca and, in the nearer future, our next Rouen trip.”
