Paris, Switzerland and the Riviera

This nine-day arc through France and Switzerland covers an enormous amount of geographic and cultural ground for a tour of its length — from the grand avenues of Paris to the lakeside calm of Lausanne to the sun-drenched Riviera at Nice. The through-line is contrast: imperial grandeur set against Alpine precision, northern French formality giving way to the Mediterranean ease of the Côte d'Azur. By the time your group is sitting in Nice on Day 8, having crossed two countries and three very different landscapes, the journey itself becomes part of the curriculum.

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

The hotels, restaurants, bus driver, and local guides were all truly amazing. The itinerary was phenomenal. Appropriate time frames for every activity. There was a great balance between structured activities and free time. The students had such an enjoyable experience!

Overall

I would not change a single thing about this tour or the people we worked with. I wish I could do it all over again. Students were saying it was the best trip they have ever had and did not want to leave. I could not thank everyone enough. THANK YOU!!!!!
