Passport Travel has been operating adult special interest niche tours for many years. We also organise tours for groups of teachers and friends or family. Here is an example of a current small group adult tour. The theme could also be used for students.
A most unique tour – we do not know anyone who has combined the elements of Greek Music: Greek History and Art: PLF and ANZAC history into one tour programme. Led by a master of Greek Rebetika you will absorb a Greece that is not imaged by the cliché ruins and beaches. Yes you can still include these, but our tour will open Greece up and display many other aspects of this stunning country.
