"Tourism enables people to use part of their free time to contemplate the goodness and beauty of God in His creation and, through contact with others, helps to intensify mutual dialogue and acquaintance. Thus, free time and tourism can compensate for the lack of human contact that is often felt in daily life." Pope John Paul II
Visit the location of the early churches in Turkey. Discover the Vatican and the church's rich history across Europe, you will learn more about your spiritual heritage.
"Our trip was a wonderful combination of natural beauty, great learning, and sweet interaction with other fellow-learners. My wife and I already treasure our memories of those 10 days in September!"

"Our trip to Greece had everything. It provided us with the right combination of spiritual food, knowledgeable tour guides, seamless arrangements, and a luxury cruise. I liked the hotels and restaurants that were selected and having all the details handled for us. Most of all, the places we saw were incredible and enhanced my knowledge of the Apostle Paul and the life he led in starting the Christian churches. I would recommend the trip to anyone."

"On this trip, we experienced excellent coordination. The tour guides are professional, knowledgeable, charming Greeks. The accommodations were better than we expected. We recommend this trip to all who admire Paul and who want to experience the archaeological evidence consistent with the New Testament."
