Catalog Tour · Europe

Chocolates and Cappuccino

Four countries in ten days sounds ambitious, and it is — but the arc of this tour is what makes it work. Starting in Venice, students cross into the Alps through Salzburg and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, then finish in the lake country of Switzerland and northern Italy. The route has a clear logic: you're tracing the cultural and geographic spine of Central Europe, watching the food, the architecture, the language, and the landscape shift underneath you as the motorcoach moves west. By the time your group reaches Lake Maggiore on Day 9, the contrast with the canals of Venice feels earned rather than accidental.

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.

This was my first time leading a trip so I had a lot of uncertainty heading into it, but Passports really took care of everything and made things so much easier.
