This nine-day journey traces a sweeping arc through three of Central Europe's most storied landscapes — from the medieval lanes of Rothenburg ob der Tauber to the Swiss shores of Lake Lucerne, with the Alps threading through nearly every day in between. The tour moves with purpose: the half-timbered towers of Rothenburg give way to Munich's broad boulevards and beer-hall culture, then the road climbs into Innsbruck before crossing into Switzerland, where the scale of the mountains shifts from impressive to genuinely humbling. By the time your group reaches Heidelberg on Day 8 for a final taste of German Romanticism, students have covered three countries, two languages, and more than a thousand years of European history in under a week and a half.

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.
Read every review on Trustpilot“We had a FANTASTIC experience with Passports this year! From the beginning, in the planning stages, the difference between Passports and EF was clear, and that difference bore out over the course of the trip. We are so thankful we found you guys and really felt that the whole experience was better than what we've had with EF.”
“I would not change a single thing about this tour or the people we worked with. I wish I could do it all over again. Students were saying it was the best trip they have ever had and did not want to leave. I could not thank everyone enough. THANK YOU!!!!!”
