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.

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.

Traveling to Bali with Spirit Tours turned out to be a life-changing spiritual journey, and big fun too! In addition to taking us to key Sacred Temples, Rev. Karen Fry taught us how to participate in their sacred ceremonies. This gave us insider passage to the innermost spaces of the temples

We stayed in incredible places, met local Balinese people, went snorkeling, shopping, ate great food, and we even took a cooking class! I highly recommend Spirit Tours and know you’ll enjoy it, too. I loved it so much, I’m planning to join Spirit Tours’ trips to Damanhur, Italy, and Egypt in 2025!

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!

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!!!
