Catalog Tour

Paris and Madrid

Paris and Madrid together make a natural pairing — two capital cities that shaped Western European history, art, and politics from opposite ends of the Pyrenees. This eight-day tour moves your group from the grand boulevards and museum halls of Paris to the royal plazas and world-renowned galleries of Madrid, giving students a side-by-side look at how two neighboring cultures built their modern identities in distinctly different ways. The through-line isn't just geography; it's the chance to read Europe's story in two languages, two architectural vocabularies, and two very different urban rhythms.

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 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.
