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!

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.

We loved the Egypt trip with Spirit Tours. When you travel with Spirit Tours, you get the full experience of the destination, and you get a spiritual connection with friends that travel with you. Most of our longest and closest relationships are with friends we met on travel journeys (Costa Rica, Bhutan, Bali, and Egypt).

The Egypt experience was fantastic. We stayed at the best location in Cairo, directly next to the pyramids. When you looked out of your room, there they were. It was a great start, with private visits to both the pyramids and the Cairo Museum. Then we went onward to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. A highlight of the trip was the Nile cruise and being together on our private boat.

The Wild Atlantic Way Spirit Tours trip in Ireland was a deeply moving experience. I leaned into the opportunity to know and to feel the Celtic Spirit of the land and its people, guided by our Spiritual Leader and our Irish guide. Spirit Tours took great care of us with lovely accommodations, delightful adventures (baby goats!!), and deeply meaningful activities (Saint Brigid’s Well).

 I found a balance of quality time and interactions with my fellow travelers, and wonderful time alone to reflect and absorb the beauty and magic of the Emerald Isle. Spirit Tours provides an experience like no other and I look forward to traveling with them again!
