Absolute fabulous trip. Wendy and Candance were excellent tour guides

I enjoyed the early church history tour very much. I have been to these sites before, but Rich gave me a greater understanding of the background that led to the early Saints being driven out of Nauvoo and especially the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph. Rich and Robyn were wonderful tour guides.

Rich Robins is the best! I have grown closer to Joseph Smith and his family. What a blessing.

Thomas Shaw

Loved the trip. Tim is a great tour guide and handled all situations with grace. The most sacred and impactful events happened for me in the Sacred Grove, Carthage and Nauvoo. The spirit was so strong and it bore a renewed witness to me of the love of our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ. We had served in the Nauvoo Temple 2016; it was like coming home. Thanks for offering this magnificent tour.

Stephen H Russell

Our family of three immensely enjoyed the Missouri to Nauvoo trip with Rich Robins. Rich's knowledge, spirit, testimony, energy and articulation skills are A+. Background planning by Dani was top-notch too. In short, this trip was a blessing to our family.

Craig Smith

Rich & Robyn were fantastic hosts for our Missouri/Illinois Church History Experience. Rich is an inspiring & gifted teacher. If I could give the trip 10 stars I would. My wife and I can't wait for more. Dani thanks for all of the timely communications and support as well. Thank you!

Had a great time trekking through Switzerland. The tour was well organized, and full of wonderful, memorable experiences. I have no idea how we were able to do and see so many different things in just 8 days! From glaciers to medieval castles, we saw it all. Wendy and Candace were competent, professional and fun. So glad I invested in this trip!

Loved, loved, loved our guided tour of England, Wales and Scotland with Abby Bonnell! The hotels, transportation and local guides were top notch and we saw, experienced and learned so much more than we could have ever arranged on our own. Abby made taking care of our group seem effortless and she freely shared delightful insights and ideas on where to visit, eat or shop at every stop so we could truly see and enjoy the big cities and quaint villages during the group tours or by ourselves when we were on our own time. Can't wait for my next trip!!
