We went on the Legacy Tours Humanitarian trip with our son Andrew this last summer to the Dominican Republic. It was a fantastic experience. John Bytheway was on the trip and joined us at meals and many of the service projects and activities. John did some excellent devotionals each night and gospel power point presentations that were very insightful, moving and entertaining.
Mark our tour guide was great. He really made sure everyone was involved and having a great experience. The resort we stayed had had great food and a lot of variety. Carlos was one of our native guides and was very friendly and caring and helped with the service projects. We assisted at a chocolate factory, helped build water filters and helped with laying concrete in a home.
Most of the service projects were done in the morning and then in the afternoon we would do other activities like swimming, basketball, soccer, play in the ocean, kite flying, etc. It was a great experience for our son Andrew who was preparing for a mission to Brazil and he got to experience a country similar to his mission in many ways. Thank you Legacy Tours and Travel for a great experience!

We went to the Dominican republic with legacy tours this summer. It was one of the best trips our family has ever been on. We got to see and do some things that we never would have been able to do as regular tourists. Mark and Bailey were great at communicating the schedule. We didn’t have to worry about food preparation or shopping for it. It was fun meeting and traveling with other members of the group.
The devotionals at night were a great way to end the day. When I travel, I don’t like to feel like I’m just one of the mass of tourists who all do the same things. With legacy it made for a very unique experience. We interacted with the locals on a level that most never get to do.

I just spent the last 16 days with the most amazing people in a most amazing place. We traveled through the Holy Land on a pilgramicdge of learning and experiences regarding Jesus Christ. We swam in the Sea of Galilee, and visited the places where Christ performed most of his miracles. We hiked Hezekiah’s Tunnel, floated in the salty Dead Sea, experienced the celebrations of Shivah and Bar mitzvahs at the West/Whaling Wall at Temple Mount, and walked the wall around old Jerusalem.
I walked the streets of Bethlehem and sat on the hill looking over the Shepherd’s fields, then stood in that places that “tradition” says Jesus Christ spent his last days, including the Garden of Gethsemane, the house where the last supper took place, the garden tomb, and Calvary. Our group hiked many places including Masada, Petra, Mount of the Beatitudes and Mount Tabor, then visited Wadi Rum where we stayed in Bedouin tents and rode camels. I cannot even begin to express my feelings regarding these places.
Every little detail and all arrangements were made for us, and the itinerary maximized our time at the sites. Thanks Legacy Tour Travels for the most memorable experiences.

Thank you for all the planning and preparing that went into such a successful Church History Tour for us all! Thank you for sharing your passion in life with others – it was a joy to travel with Legacy Tours!It was great just to show up and be taken care of! We loved the nice accommodations you arranged, and the meals you purchased along the way were appreciated. There were extra touches you made that the normal traveler wouldn’t know about, like dinner with the Amish and a lecture by Karl Anderson!
The highlight of the trip for us was Nauvoo. We’ve wanted to go to the Nauvoo Temple since it was dedicated and this tour provided the perfect opportunity to do that and much, much more! It was our dream come true!We enjoyed the pageants and the church history sites, and are savoring the memories and the feelings we had as we walked where the prophet walked and visited places we have read about. Even the bus ride was fun! The many hours on the bus seemed to fly by as we were learning and laughing as we traveled.
Joe did a great job preparing us to visit the places we stopped at along the way. His research and study were evident as he taught us. And, of course, having the Bytheways was a definite bonus to the trip! It was fun traveling with a celebrity! His firesides were fabulous! Your promise of “meaningful travel with educational, recreational and spiritual experiences” was met!

Book of Mormon 8 Day Evidence Tour
This was a remarkable adventure. It was overwhelming at times. One participant described it as “drinking from a fire hydrant.” The evidence is stunning and profound, it is irrefutable.
My spiritual testimony of the Book of Mormon is greatly enhanced by the physical evidence of the existence of this promised lane. To walk the land of the ancient inhabitants, to see their mounds, rivers and artifacts is a sacred experience. We will be eternally grateful for the experience.

A few years ago, my husband John and I were fortunate enough to go on a Book of Mormon Evidence Tour. It was a memorable, mind expanding, enjoyable experience! We were surprised to see just how many artifacts are in museums, such as breastplates arm and head shields and other things dating back to Book of Mormon times. As we stopped at various places, the geography of the Book of Mormon became real. Many mounds, including temple and burial mounds are still visible.
The spirit was evident at many places, especially the springs where the Waters Of Mormon were possibly located. The Bountiful Temple location was also a beautiful and peaceful spot. Rod Meldrum was well prepared and very informative. We can’t wait to go again and bring some of our friends and family!
