obviously no sharps, weapons, pets or more than 100 ml of liquid.

• Mobiles• Bills?

• Staff will have mobiles in case of an emergency

Money• The Italian currency is the Euro.

• The tour covers breakfast and dinner• Packed breakfast for Heathrow?

• Lunches

• Money will only be needed for:• Snacks/Coffee/Gelato

• Lunch

• Gifts for teachers.

• I suggest between £50 and £75.

• Don’t bring travellers cheques & there are ATMs

Rules• It is important that everyone enjoys their trip.

It is even more important that everyone is safe.

• So, we need everyone to follow these simple rules:• Any instruction given by a member of staff must

be followed without question.

• When a member of staff is giving instructions all students must be silent immediately – this is especially important at airports and ‘in the field’.

• There is no alcohol – the good stuff is too expensive and the drinking culture is very different

• No smoking – it’s like a school day!!!

Any questions?

• Hoodies…
