The Emerald Isle

Nine days, four cities, and one long green coastline — Ireland rewards student travelers who are willing to go slowly enough to actually read the landscape. This tour traces a westward arc from Dublin's Georgian streets and storied literary pubs across the rugged hills of County Kerry and into the wind-scoured Atlantic edge of Galway, giving students a genuine sense of how Ireland's history, culture, and geography shift as you move from the capital toward the wild west.

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

When we switched to Passports from our previous travel company, we wanted two things: better food and less time on the bus. Passports exceeded our expectations! We loved having hotels where we could walk and didn't have to get on a bus. Even riding the subway in London was a fun experience!
