During its summer and annual language programs, Villa Aurora seeks to expand the students' learning experience through varied cultural tours. To really learn about a culture one must see where and how that culture lives. To understand an artist one must see where they worked and lived. To understand the music of a master one must listen to the sounds that they listened to as they composed.

Visits to the museums of Firenze delve the student into the world and history of the great Italian masters of art. From the Byzantine Period to the Contemporary Age, students get a full experience of the various periods of art and history. Tours are taken with guides either from the school or from local museums.

Cultural tours are highly appreciated by the Language students. Many trips are taken around the region of Toscana (Tuscany), to various cities including Siena, Lucca, Pisa and San Gimignano.
