By William J for JWT*Trip of a Lifetime*July 19-26, 2025 * 8 days - US & Canada on Jul 28, 2025

Wonderful trip. Bus was comfortable, tour guides were phenomenal, hotels chosen were comfortable, clean, & had great breakfast choices. The company was excellent at addressing our specific rooming needs as well. I will say the fast paced intensity of the trip was a lot and I wish I’d fully understood that when choosing which length of tour to take. It felt like constantly trying to squeeze in as much as possible, resulting in a teaser or sampling of many things & not fully experiencing any. There were some things I’d have loved to see more of & things that I could’ve gone without. But I do believe this particular shorter tour is designed that way. So I recommend other travelers take that into serious consideration when choosing a tour. Also- each bethel tour needs its own entire day (at the very least)..I cannot stress this enough! Spending 2-3 hours on each tour is 100% not possible. If you plan on touring bethel that way, plan on moving VERY quickly & missing a lot. (Because HUNDREDS of other people are also touring the bethel facilities at the same time) I took an TON of pics of exhibits on my phone. Since then, I’ve been going back to look at them, zooming in to read the descriptions on the exhibits & enjoying them that way. So thankful they let us take pictures, because I’d have missed 80% of it if I didn’t have pictures. However, even the fraction of the tours I got to enjoy in person- such an uplifting experience. I’ve never left a vacation feeling like I was leaving a new family and home…until now. I will treasure these memories forever and highly recommend these tours!
