Open Enrollment Tour

Madrid and Barcelona

Spain's two great capitals anchor this eight-day tour, and the contrast between them is the point. Madrid is imperial and land-locked, its wide boulevards lined with Bourbon palaces and world-renowned art museums. Barcelona faces the Mediterranean, its skyline shaped by Gaudí and its neighborhoods still carrying the distinct energy of Catalan identity. Moving between the two cities mid-tour gives your group a rare chance to read Spain not as a single story but as an ongoing conversation between different histories, languages, and ways of life.

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.

I can not say enough about the excellent staff at Passports! They made organizing and executing this trip a breeze! It was so well organized and accommodating — I would totally recommend Passports as the tour company for student travel.
