Different scientific researches reveal that learning taking place in visits to science centres improves when the contents shown on it are connected to the curriculum and the students have prepared them in advance. In this work we offer the Workshop Logos et Physis, which is one comprising the Sagunto's "Workshops of Classic Culture". This didactic experience tries to bring the classic world to the students in both an educational and playful way. The aims of the Workshop are here developed, focusing on the way a group of students has been trained during the term to act as a monitors of the workshops, the development of some experiences of the students visitors and, finally, the elaboration of a visiting guide which allows future visiting teachers to prepare the visit in advance and to relate the contents they are going to see to the curriculum. In the second part of the work the visit to the Workshop Logos et Physis of a group of students is described, as well as their commentaries about two of the modules of the Workshop, which show how the preparation and use of the guides have favoured a better effectiveness of the visit.
