Bringing groups of God's people together to view God's world.
We are proud to partner with the Organization of WELS Lutheran Seniors (OWLS) to offer group tours to W/ELS members. Newly founded in July 2023, we are a fully insured LLC with over 15+ years of experience leading tours. It is our sincere prayer that God will be glorified through these trips and that our guests will gain an ever greater appreciation for His grace, mercy, and power. All tours include daily devotions, WELS worship on the weekends, and opportunities to connect with and encourage fellow members of our faith family.
