Everything except the souvenirs.
Five days designed as professional development for the work of leading a student tour — peer cohort, working sessions with our Worcester team, and a guided city tour led by a Passports Tour Director. Airfare, hotel, daily breakfast, and two anchor meals are all part of the program for qualifying group leaders.
Working sessions with the team
Time with Passports staff and veteran group leaders on tour planning, recruiting, and what makes a trip work.
Guided city tour
Led by one of our Tour Directors. A working example of how we lead a student group abroad.
Optional excursions
A daytrip or two on offer — see another site that might fit your future student itinerary.
Welcome reception
Meet the rest of the cohort and the Passports team on arrival night.
Farewell dinner
A multi-course evening at a local favorite — this is what we do for tours, every night.
Round-trip airfare
From a major US hub to your conference city — booked by Passports.
Hotel accommodation
Same standard as our student tours: city-center, walkable, 3-and-4 star.
Daily breakfast
Continental and hot options, included every morning.
Where we’re heading next.
Conferences land on the long weekends that line up with school schedules — typically Veterans Day in November, Martin Luther King Jr. Day in January.
Dublin, Ireland
London, England
Rome, Italy
Two paths. Both end in a stamp.
