What Our Clients Say
We loved both the Egypt and Israel tours - trip of a lifetime. The entire trip went flawlessly.
Art and Shirley Samilijan – Egypt 2017
THANK YOU for planning and organizing such a delightful tour. We saw and visited so many sites and learned the history. The many catered meals were excellent. The chartered buses and drivers were excellent. Steve as tour guide and friend was excellent. He made the trip even more enjoyable and took care of many details. My sister Peggy had never before been on an escorted tour and had never visited Church historic sites. She loved the trip, loved being in places she had read about for many years. Being there is a lot different than simply reading. Our fellow travelers were delightful, friendly and helpful.
Jean Jensen – Church History with Steven Kapp Perry
Scott and I had a wonderful experience learning about the church's early history with Scot & Maurine Proctors on their tour this fall. It was a lifelong memorable experience.
Scott and Carolyn Madson – Ultimate Church History Tour
