Like all our tours they are designed to be amended to suit your group's particular needs other samples can be seen elsewhere on this website or by contacting us.
THE REFORMATION TRAIL IN EUROPE
Germany, the Heartland of the Reformation, offers a great number of places where the past mingles with the present and the memories of Martin Luther are traceable and tangible. Eisenach where he went to school, Erfurt where he studied, Wittenberg the town of his 95 Theses, the Wartburg Castle where he found refuge and produced his monumental translation of the New Testament into German. Follow the Reformation Trail and at the same time enjoy the beauty and profundity of town and country. Experience the vibrant and fascinating modern capital of Germany, Berlin and the music associated with Salzburg. Tour can be made longer or shorter as required. Extend to Switzerland for Calvin and Zwingli perhaps ?
JOHN KNOX AND THE REFORMATION IN SCOTLAND
Scotland, a land of heather and bagpipes was not always as peaceful. Many aspects of the Reformation took place in Scotland, leading ultimately to the founding of the Church of Scotland and all Presbyterian churches worldwide. This tour is designed to introduce you to the people and places that made this happen. The tour can be designed for your own specific needs, such as, more on Wishart, The Covenanters and opportunities for services with local communities. Sample itineraries for different denominations can be seen elsewhere on this site.
METHODISM AND THE WESLEY FAMILY IN ENGLAND
Gather other like-minded travellers and discover the birthplace, the sources of inspiration, the preaching places of The Wesley family and more. Oxford, Epworth, Bristol, Cornwall and London will all be experienced. This is a sample itinerary only and can be adapted to suit your groups needs with services as appropriate. This and similar tours often operate in conjunction with a specific anniversary or conference where talks and lectures can be incorporated. Other faith tour sample tours can be seen elsewhere on this website.
JEWISH HERITAGE IN FRANCE
Throughout its stormy history, from the Roman period until the present, Jews have lived in France, their fate intimately tied to the various kings and leaders. Despite physical hardship and anti-Semitism, Jewish intellectual and spiritual life flourished, producing some of the most famous Jewish rabbis and thinkers, including Rabenu Tam. Currently, France hosts Europe’s largest Jewish community and Paris is said to have more kosher restaurants than even New York City. Similar tours are available for Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, Poland and more. Contact us for more details.
CATHOLIC ENGLAND
Catholicism in England really brings faith to life from a historical and modern perspective. This sample tour takes you through the time of St Thomas More, priest hides/holes and Thomas Becket to the present day with visits to Tyburn Convent, the main Marian Shrine in England at Walsingham and masses in places associated with The Blessed John Henry Newman and present day orders.
MAYFLOWER 400
2020 marks the 400th anniversary of the sailing of The Mayflower. This is a story of adversity and welcome, written across borders and continents, the commemoration of their voyage offers to learn from our shared past and inform our joint futures. Groups are booking this as it has reminded them of how important an event this is. It is recommend that groups do not wait till 2020 and beyond for this but travel from now.
We are an officially endorsed partner of the Mayflower 400 project and the tour below is just one sample of the many tours we can offer. Do you want to follow a particular family? Do you want to focus on a particular part of England or Holland? Let us know ?
Absolute Best Service
Thank you for putting together the most amazing tour for the School. It was jam-packed (as we knew it would be) but both Gail and I feel that the girls really benefitted from the tour and enjoyed it thoroughly at the same time. We came back with really sore feet, but well-shaped calves and I think the girls appreciated the walking, with the concern of getting into Matric dance dresses this weekend.
