Dominican Wonders: Culture, Community, and Natural Beauty

This eight-day tour moves through four distinct corners of the Dominican Republic — Santiago de los Caballeros, Cabarete, Jarabacoa, and Santo Domingo — giving student groups a genuine cross-section of the country rather than a resort-window view. The through-line is contact: with Dominican history, with the Spanish language in daily use, with community members whose lives look genuinely different from life back home. That combination of service-learning and language immersion is rare on a single itinerary, and it shapes every day from the colonial streets of the capital to the mountain air of Jarabacoa.

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.
