Looking for Family or Private Tours

by Wendy Fracchia

Whether you choose to join one of our expertly designed group tours or start a private tour of your own (yes — that’s absolutely possible!), here are just a few reasons why that choice might become your best trip yet!

Touring Vs. Vacationing

Touring and vacationing are two very different types of travel experiences.

Vacations often mean simple plans — beaches, cruises, or amusement parks — while touring is about sparking passion, deepening understanding, and inspiring a sense of wonder. Being able to share these types of building experiences with those you care about is absolutely incredible.

When these moments are shared with people you love, they become something truly special — building bonds and memories that last forever. But creating those experiences takes careful planning, coordination, and expertise – who wants to be responsible for that? WE DO! That’s where we come in. We take care of every detail — hotels, transportation, tickets, and timing — so you can simply come and enjoy your trip, connect with your people, and make lasting memories.

Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or a club, consider turning your trip into a Private Tour. With 20 or more travelers (less is always an option as well), you can personalize your itinerary, choose your departure date, and even request your favorite tour director — often at the same cost or less than a standard tour.

Top Reasons to Take Your Tour Private:

Time Together: A dedicated Tour Director manages the logistics so you can focus on each other.
Personalized Experience: Add extra nights, new stops, or tailor activities to your group’s interests.
Family History Connections: Multi-generational travel is on the rise — and nothing compares to discovering your roots together, in the very places your ancestors lived and loved.
Special Interests: Build a custom itinerary based on what excites your group most — faith, culture, art, food, or adventure.

Last Thoughts

No matter which route you take—joining one of our expertly curated public tours or designing your own private experience—you’re guaranteed an unforgettable journey. Either way, you win. With our world-class tour directors, trusted partners, and seamless planning, you can focus on what matters most: sharing meaningful moments, discovering new places, and creating stories that will be retold for years to come. Your adventure awaits—let’s make it extraordinary together.

Safe travels and happy holidays from all of us at Morris Murdock Escorted Tours!

About Wendy Fracchia

Wendy has loved travel from a very early age. She recalls as young as 8 asking for travel opportunities "to go somewhere new" and that love continued straight into travel school from high school graduation. In her 30+ years in the business, she’s had the opportunity to work and travel in many aspects of this industry. She's worked in hotel operations, as a traditional travel agent, a corporate agent, travel course teacher, technology support, and while she's loved them all feels like she's found her passion and niche in groups and escorted tours where she has spent the last 15 years.
