Italian courses and classes in London

We organise trips to Italy to complement our courses in the UK.

If you are an existing Vivere l'italiano student this is a great way to practice the Italian you have learnt with us, and if you are a new student, it's a wonderful opportunity to start learning, or to build on your existing knowledge of Italian in beautiful Italy!

We will be posting information on our trips here, so if you would like to bookmark this page to check what we have planned, please feel free. Alternatively, contact us and let us know you are interested and we will put you on our mailing list.
