Bel Viaggio

Bel Viaggio traces the full spine of Italian civilization before crossing into Switzerland, covering five cities across ten days in a sequence that mirrors the way Western culture itself moved — from ancient Rome to Renaissance Florence to the merchant republic of Venice, then northwest through Milan and into the Alps at Lucerne. That arc is the through-line: students aren't just collecting postcards, they're reading a civilization in chronological order on the ground.

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.

Overall

Passports, I cannot begin to thank you enough for helping craft such a spectacular tour! Being a theatre educator, having some arts experiences was important to me — and you delivered. My students and I were talking about the workshop for days! Josephine and the Mouse Singer at the Greek National Opera House was unlike anything my students or I had experienced before.

Overall

When we switched to Passports from our previous travel company, we wanted two things: better food and less time on the bus. Passports exceeded our expectations! We loved having hotels where we could walk and didn't have to get on a bus. Even riding the subway in London was a fun experience!
