The lands of Greece, Turkey, and Italy are where the message of Christ took root and grew. You have to experience these places with Bible in hand to understand how life-transforming it truly is.


  • This exclusive tour promises a more personal, curated experience. We’ll explore sites that large groups just can’t see.

  • This tour is designed with you in mind. My goal is to transform the foreign places into familiar friends.


  • You’ll discover how each site fits the biblical story every time the bus stops—all with your Bible in hand.

See the Land with Bible in Hand

This will be an exclusive, one-bus tour devoted to a magnificent overview of sites from the Book of Acts and the Epistles. On this tour, I will help you understand the journeys of Paul as we connect the Bible and its lands to your life every time we stop—and all along the way.

✔ You will learn the Word of God right where it happened—with Bible in hand. After seeing where Paul, Peter, and John ministered, you will never read your Bible the same way again!

✔ I have invited our local guide to offer cultural and historical connections as he travels with us.

✔ We’ll travel the land in a climate-controlled deluxe motor coach.

✔ Our one-bus tour will go places and experience sites that larger groups never see. Just look at the itinerary below!
