Bavaria!

This nine-day arc crosses five countries, from the medieval walls of Rothenburg ob der Tauber through Munich and the Tyrolean Alps at Innsbruck to the Swiss lake country around Lucerne, then north through Strasbourg to a final night in Heidelberg. Along the way your group stops in Augsburg, Bavaria's oldest city, and at the Dachau Memorial, has a free afternoon in Munich, and, in season, takes on the Alpine Coaster at Imst and rides the cog railway down Mt. Pilatus before crossing into France for Strasbourg's cathedral and canals. The language shifts from Bavarian dialect to Swiss German as you go, which makes this tour a strong fit for German-language classrooms as well as history and European studies courses.

What teachers say

Verified by teachers — two ways.

On the left, the public Trustpilot reviews any group leader can write — and any future group leader can read. On the right, quotes from the private post-tour evaluation that every group leader fills out after their trip ends. See all teacher evaluations.

Reviews on Trustpilot are public and verified. Trustpilot prohibits companies from paying to have them removed — so what teachers say here is exactly what teachers said about traveling with Passports.
