Yes! Safety is, by far, our number one priority when we choose any location for our trips. We are keenly aware of the intense trust that is placed in us to provide a safe and life-changing experience for your child. As parents of three children, we do not take that trust lightly. Because of this, we will never take your child to a place that we have not taken our own children and personally vetted from top to bottom.
Italy is currently ranked as #32 of the world’s safest countries, with its safety rating higher than that of the United States. The most common types of crimes involving tourists are petty theft, pickpocketing, or scamming near busy tourist sights, which is why we train and instruct our participants and leaders on how to take extra precautions in these areas. Due to terrorist group activity in surrounding European countries, travelers to Italy are urged to exercise increased caution while traveling but no terrorist attacks targeting civilians or tourists have occurred in the last 50 years.
