Marion and I are still feeling the impact of our trip to Bali with Karen and Spirit Tours. We can summarize the trip in two words: priceless and affordable. It was a sacred journey, filled with fun and enjoyment. There were landmarks to explore, reflecting the spiritual history of Bali and temples uniquely built, creating sacred spaces with gorgeous flowers blooming everywhere.

I must admit that, at first, I was a tag along. My wife, Marion, signed up almost immediately when the trip was announced. But something kept pulling at me and ultimately, I decided to go. It was one of those decisions I will never regret. The hospitality and friendliness of the native people, their spirituality 24/7 was infectious, the scenery, temples, and accommodations were all amazing. Thank You Spirit Tours! It is a trip we will never forget!!!

Japan has been on my bucket list for a long time. Having traveled with Spirit Tours many times, I knew I was going when they added this destination. They ensured we experienced Japan and its people, along with its beauty, serenity, and sacredness – from beautiful mountain retreats with Shinto and Zen Buddhism chanting and meditations, to sacred rock and water gardens; from tranquil walks through historic shrines, palaces, and temples to the cleanliness of the cities; from the artistry of the foods to beautiful walks and bicycle rides – stunning! 

You can go anywhere in the cities at any time and feel safe. The calm and intentional culture of Japanese people – quietly respectful, honoring you as a person through gentle nods or uplifted hands, serves as an example to emulate with all people. Thank You Spirit Tours!

Thank you, Spirit Tours, for the life changing experience touring Bali. The trip was curated beautifully with gorgeous and comfortable hotel accommodations, delicious meals, outstanding guides, fabulous drivers and special access to sacred Hindu temples and ceremonies. There was great balance between opportunities to explore the sites, down time to relax with amazing massages, pools and beaches; as well as participating in spiritual and cultural activities (group time, making floral offerings, traditional dances, receiving bracelets from Hindu priests). 

As a solo traveler, I felt welcomed, safe, and included in all the activities. I made lifelong friends. Spirit Tours owner, Karen Fry, does an outstanding job of working with locals to create a fabulous experience. It was fun and deepened my spiritual understanding of reverence and devotion through interacting with the Balinese people.

My Spirit Tours journey to Ireland will forever hold a special place in my heart. The breathtaking scenery, history, warmth of the Irish people, the friendships and fellowship we forged made for a truly unforgettable experience.

I’ve been traveling with Spirit Tours since 2014. The accommodations and dining are all top-notch. Every time I’ve arrived at the destination all the “operational details” have been taken care of. A bonus is being with spiritual seekers. My fellow travelers took up each trip as a spiritual journey to learn about the local spiritual point of view and culture.

I’ve left each place with a personal connection and new understanding of the people and their culture.. This has deepened and grown my spiritual awareness that humans and their societies follow a similar trajectory of evolution, even though by appearances we seem worlds apart. We are each a unique expression of the Divine, but we have more in common than we are different.

The best part is that travelers quickly get to know each. So, if you’re drawn to a trip, sign up. Within a day you’ll start making new travel buddies.
