On Mediterranean Shores

This ten-day arc across Spain, France, and Italy follows the Mediterranean coastline through five cities that shaped Western civilization, from Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and Gaudí-designed streetscapes to the sun-bleached squares of Avignon, the Riviera light of Nice, and the Renaissance streets of Florence before finishing in Rome. The through-line is contrast: Romanesque beside Modernisme, Provençal France between Iberian and Italian worlds, ancient ruins visible from a café table. It is a tour built for adults who want genuine immersion in art, history, and culture rather than a checklist of landmarks.

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 a wonderful tour. The kids had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Passports was a great company to work with, and we got everything that was promised, and then some.

Overall

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.
