Open Enrollment Tour

Madrid and Barcelona

Spain's two great rival cities sit at opposite ends of a train line and opposite ends of a cultural argument — Madrid the imperial capital, Barcelona the fiercely independent Catalan metropolis — and this eight-day tour makes the case for both. Your group arrives in Madrid and has three full days to take the city's measure before the journey east to Barcelona for three more. That kind of sustained time in each place is rare on a student tour, and it matters: your group isn't just passing through.

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.

Truly, this was a trip of dreams. The company worked with me to specialize a few things. The balance of planned activities and free time was PERFECTLY balanced.

I think my tour went perfectly! Each day was packed with educational opportunities and we saved free time for the end in Cannes. My students are coming home with confidence about their French skills as well as their travel skills.
