This was our first trip with Passports. We had heard good things by we were not completely sure what to expect. I have to say, we had many conversations during the trip that revolved around how great a job Passports was doing on the trip. From the hotels to the meals, from the transportation to the activities, from our tour guide to the behind the scenes work that Passports employees had done to ensure a quality tour, we were satisfied at all turns.

I recently traveled to 3 different countries with my child's French class through Europe, and my experience with Passports far exceeded my expectations. We saw beyond just the main tourist landmarks, it was educational, we didn't live the entire trip in a travel couch (I enjoyed all the walking and the public forms of transit, it felt we were actually understanding the cities in a more authentic way.) We ate at actually restaurants and enjoyed top notch service, and stayed in some very nice hotels that were all located conveniently in downtown areas with so many stores and attractions within walking distance. Our tour guide Marc was one of the best parts. He went above and beyond the itinerary, listened with care and catered to any special needs of our group, and had an energy and love for his country that resonated in every experience he guided us through. If I were to do a group travel in another country again I would chose and recommend Passports.

If you want an amazing tour with top-notch customer service, Passports is the company for you! When my French students asked me to take them to Europe over a year ago, I spent hours researching which company to go with. Best decision I've ever made was choosing Passports. I just got back last night from a dream tour of France and Switzerland and am already wanting to plan another trip! All I can think is that they must have some amazing connections and a little bit of magic to get us such a good price and value for our 10-day trip! All of the hotels were in the hearts of the cities, including Paris! They were beautiful hotels too, with luxurious rooms. My students were in heaven. The restaurants provided a good variety of authentic, filling food and a great atmosphere to socialize over our meals. We had enough interested students and parents to make our tour a private tour and customize many activities. My students absolutely loved riding bikes in Versailles park, riding the TGV train and visiting a cheese and perfume factory. We easily hit all of the popular monuments in Paris and still ended with relaxing time on the beach in Nice. Our tour director was also with us every step of the way, making sure everything went smoothly so I could just enjoy getting to know my students, speaking French with them and making memories with them. I am so appreciative that this company did not cut any corners when it came to my tour and really gave us more than we could have asked for in terrms of quality and the best customer service. I cannot wait to travel with them again in the future!

Passports took care of my students and really cared about how our experience went while abroad. For many of my students, this will be a once in a lifetime opportunity and Passports helped it be an amazing experience. When our flights were canceled and the airline refused to help us, Passports stepped in and helped us come up with a solution quickly. The tour director, Nathy, was knowledgeable and took care of everything. The local tour guides made learning about the monuments and history interesting for my students.

This is a company that truly cares about their group leaders and travelers. I had constant effective communication pre travel - during the trip- post travel with Company Headquarters as well as the Tour Director. Each question was answered right away and had the best interest of the traveler in mind. I can't express enough how seamless the trip went. The food was great and the hotels were excellent.

Passports is incredible!! We had such a smooth travel experience from pre-departure to return. Katy and Dale made it so easy to plan and get the trip off the group, our on-site tour director, Alison, was a HUGE hit with both kids and chaperones. The food and accommodations was awesome, and even when our train to Paris was cancelled due to the train strikes, Passports jumped in to solve the problem and still got us to Paris that day. I went on a tour with Passports 9 years ago as a high school student, and it was just as much fun going as a group leader with my own students. Cannot wait to travel with them again!!

Passports has proven, yet again, why they are the only travel company I will use. The pre-planning is easy, allowing me to get the tour that I want. Registration is smooth and user friendly for my students. Staff was always available to help- both online and in person on the phone. The hotels and restaurants are all in great locations, they guides are excellent, and attention is paid to every detail. We skipped every line and were able to fit in so much in such a short time. Once you travel this way, it is hard to consider ever doing it anyway else.

The more I travel with my students, the more I appreciate and trust Passports! The level of professional knowledge, insights, the contacts they have in every country and community has translated into incredible opportunities for my students. They utilize the best tour directors in the business, and do all this for the best price. We just returned from this year’s trip and are already planning next year’s! Thank you, Passports, for making international travel possible for my students!
