I'm planning to take my small group of 5th years to Italy - Rome, Pompeii, and hopefully Paestum - later this academic year. Probably, around Easter time. The new specification really gives so much better focus that I know exactly where to bring them: Pantheon, Colosseum, Circus Maximus (or what's left!), Forum, Temple of Vesta, and of course the Vatican Museum. Then Paestum near Pompeii for some Doric Greek Temples so they can see something similar to the Parthenon if not the Parthenon. (Pompeii would just be a wonderful off-curriculum side tour).
I'm hoping to combine forces with the Art Department in my school too, to give us about 20 students and 3 students for the trip.
This would be my first time doing a school trip abroad though. So, does anybody with more experience have any tips? Do you know good tour agencies to use or any tips to make the trip meaningful for the students? Or to make sure they're relatively well behaved?
Any advice or links would be much appreciated.

Hi Seamus,
Just saw this. The Naples Museum is a must see in my opinion.
