This nine-day itinerary traces a south-by-southwest arc through Italy that most student tours never attempt — from Rome down the Amalfi coast to Sorrento, then across by ferry to the island itself, stopping in Taormina before finishing in Palermo. Sicily is the point. The island has been fought over, settled, and reinvented by Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, and Spaniards, and that layered past is visible in the architecture, the dialect, and the street food on every corner. Your group arrives in Rome first, shakes off the flight, and gets a full day in the city before the tour pivots south toward the coast and then the island.

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.
Read every review on Trustpilot“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.”
“Great tour! We loved being in only 2 hotels and we were able to move at our own pace. One of our best tours ever.”
