The Cold War

Few chapters of modern history reshaped daily life more completely than the Cold War, and this ten-day itinerary moves through three countries — Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary — that lived that chapter from the inside. Your group isn't tracing the conflict in the abstract. You're standing at the places where the Wall actually fell, where secret police files filled entire buildings, and where ordinary citizens weighed loyalty against survival. That ground-level specificity is what makes this tour work as a course in itself.

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.

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!!!!!

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.
