We are proud to partner with the Organization of WELS Lutheran Seniors (OWLS) to offer group tours to WELS and ELS members. Founded in July 2023, we are a fully insured LLC with over 15 years of experience leading WELS group 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.
