We provide comprehensive resources for both students and teachers, ensuring the educational impact lasts well beyond the visit. The programme includes 3 core elements: a Guided Tour, an Educational Activity, and Self-Guided Discovery. Each component is expertly delivered by our trained guides and facilitators.
