Cities of Castile

Nine days, four of the most storied cities on the Iberian plateau, and one through-line that holds it all together: Castilian Spanish spoken, heard, and lived at street level. This is not a survey course with a checklist of sights. Cities of Castile moves your group through Madrid, Toledo, Salamanca, and Segovia in a deliberate arc — from the capital's grand boulevards to medieval cathedral squares to Roman aqueducts — and the Spanish language is the connective tissue the whole way. Students who study Spanish in the classroom will find that everything shifts when the language surrounds them rather than sits on a page.

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

This was an outstanding tour experience from start to finish. The trip flowed extremely well, with strong attention to detail at every stage. Even when minor issues arose, they were addressed quickly and professionally, which reinforced confidence in the Passports team. I am very much looking forward to my next trip with Passports and would confidently recommend them to any educator.
