Explore HOW CHRISTIANITY LIT THE WAY FOR RENAISSANCE!

Built for "history hounds and theology nuts," this 10-day tour focuses on Christianity's influence on the Renaissance (1200-1600 AD).

This movement of human "enlightenment" birthed a new "Western Civilization" that transformed the world.

Our tour begins with four days in historic Rome, exploring sites like the Vatican and Renaissance-era cathedrals. Then we'll travel to Florence (the cultural hub of the Renaissance), Pisa, Bologna (home of the world's first university), and finally romantic Venice...all BY TRAIN!
