What Our Clients Say
I wanted to tell you what a magical trip we had with Jack Marshall & Murdock Travel! We went on the LDS Fall Nauvoo & Branson Escape Tour. I have been in the travel industry over 23 years and have visited most of the 52 states in the union. I can’t tell you in simple words how this trip has changed my life and those that we traveled with. Jack and his wife Lizzie Marshall was absolutely the best tour director I have ever had the pleasure of associating with (and throughout my tourism career I have met 100’s). He was so knowledgeable about LDS Church history and we were riveted to all of his commentary. I would definitely go on another LDS Murdock Travel tour if Jack Marshall was our director again. The hotel accommodations were A+ and all of our food was outstanding! We loved staying in our hotels for 2 or 3 nights NOT having to pack up and move every day. Sarah, you and your team really have a quality program and I would recommend touring with Murdock Travel to anyone. In fact all of the guests that were on this tour with will be lifelong friends and we are all planning on going on another LDS trip with Jack Marshall & Murdock Travel in 2018. Our lives are forever impacted for good because of Murdock Travel!
Sandy Bastian – LDS Fall Nauvoo & Branson Tour 2016
What I personally liked best about my Church History tour with Scot and Maurine Proctor was their knowledge and wisdom that shared. It was the BEST TOUR EVER!
Margie Kawamoto – Ultimate Church History Tour
Kim at Morris Murdock Escorted Tours was fantastic to work with and helped make our group cruise to Alaska the perfect vacation! She patiently answered all of our questions and gave us insights to allowed us to more fully our time onboard and onshore. It was nice knowing that our trip was organized by a professional and that she had our best interests, and not the bottom line, in mind.
