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.

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.

Overall

Compared to stories I have heard about other companies, this was an absolutely incredible experience. I have nothing to add to make the experience better as the entire experience, from pre-planning to post-trip, was incredible. I will never use another company and will highly recommend Passports for everyone.
