that certain passports group organizers "repeat travel" again with the company solely (they say) to enjoy once again the professional services of a passports courier?

A travel guide overseas either "makes or breaks" a trip. That's what's said in the profession, and among teachers who know a really great trip from one that's not so hot.
Let's face it: things can and usually do go wrong on a travel trip — rain on a day that sunshine was expected, a truck drivers' strike which closes the highway to Arles, a museum in Florence which was supposed to be open but is closed instead!

What comes into play then is the human factor — using ones wits and professional training to make the best out of things.
What comes into play then is the passports courier.
The passports courier is a young man or young woman — university-trained — who is familiar with the countries and cities you want to visit and who speaks the languages spoken, if different from English.

Our group really enjoyed the London to the Black Forest trip. I can't emphasize enough how much our courier added to this adventure. He was always there with us — on the subway, at the airport, in the towns while we saw the sights and shopped, and so forth. The energy he puts into his work is second to none.

| English university students make excellent overseas couriers, particularly when they love their job.

The passports courier is a "people person." He or she is paid to get to know you, and your group members, and to make things go right for you — or as right as they can go when things go a bit wrong.
They succeed at this task. Witness the many repeat travelers who come back again for another trip with passports — it sometimes doesn't matter where the trip goes — just so long as they get that same courier again.
"I'll go anywhere with Laurent." (or Paola, or Patrice, or Patrick!) We hear it all the time.
