The Troubadours

France has a spine — a geographic and cultural one — and The Troubadours traces it from north to south over ten days, moving from the grand avenues of Paris through the vineyard country of Bordeaux, into the prehistoric valleys of the Dordogne, and finally south to Roman Arles and the sun-bleached coast of Nice. The route isn't a hop between famous postcards; it's a genuine traverse of the country, and students leave having absorbed France in layers rather than snapshots.

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.

This whole tour was amazing. This is the best company we have toured with and will be using again.

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!!!!!
