School Maths Trips to Florence
The epitome of the Renaissance and its mathematical discoveries
As the centre of Renaissance culture, Florence is home to some of the most celebrated mathematical and scientific figures who combined maths, science and art in ways that had never been seen before.
From the scientific collections of Leonardo da Vinci to the mathematical instruments of Galileo, you can explore everything this beautiful city has to offer. Use your trigonometry skills to calculate the angle of inclination of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and learn how Brunelleschi used geometry to construct the magnificent dome of Florence Cathedral.

What support do you have in place in the event of a crisis situation?
In the unlikely event that your group is involved in a crisis situation during your tour, you can be assured that Rayburn Tours have a Crisis Management System in place which is fully supported by ABTA, ATOL and Endsleigh Insurance Services Ltd.
