Testimonials

We just got back from a whirlwind trip in the Steps of the Apostle Paul. We had 26 people on our tour of Greece, Turkey and Italy. We also had a wonderful cruise on the Aegean Sea to the islands. This was my fourth trip with imagine Tours & Travel and it was excellent in every way. The accommodations were superb. The food was great. The guides knew their stuff. I had been planning this trip for 18 months through all the news reports of strikes and protests. imagine Travel and their partners took care of everything to make sure we were taken care of in every way. We didn’t see a single protestor and we even spent hours in downtown Athens. The people of Greece kept saying it’s not the way it’s portrayed on the news. We love the American tourist and want you to come and enjoy some of the neatest places on earth.

I recommend everyone consider the spiritual enlightenment and the sheer joy of a trip in Paul’s footsteps.

As I reflect on our trip to Greece with imagine Tours & Travel, I can honestly say that I would change NOTHING. The Lufthansa flights, Hotel Electra Palace, Louis Cruise Lines…all outstanding. The hotel was very nice and super convenient with shopping and restaurants only two blocks away. Our folks were able to enjoy their “free time” in a hospitable and safe area. Our group saw nothing of the turmoil that our media portrayed as normal in Greece. Unfortunately, this wonderful country’s reputation has been damaged by just a few days of protests. You may remember that I had expressed reservations regarding our cruise. It only took 30 minutes on our ship to realize that you had “under promised and over delivered” on Louise Cruise Lines. The cabins, the food, the excursions…all outstanding. It was a wonderful cruise experience. Our guide, Costa, is absolutely the best guide a Christian group could have. His knowledge and faith inspired us all as he made the scriptures come alive in Athens and Corinth. A FANTASTIC TRIP!

Thank you and imagine Tours & Travel for a gift that will last a lifetime. Still today I’m being impacted by all that we experienced and am relegated to a simple “wow!”

Thank you, Rick and imagine Tours & Travel, for your professionalism, attention to every detail and an experience I can’t even “imagine” another tour company coming close to providing. The accommodations were wonderful, the food amazing and your caring and concern for your tour people were amazing. Our guide and our driver were second to none. Our guide’s knowledge and insights were invaluable. And how did our driver keep driving that camel through the eye of the needle? Their expertise and professionalism were exceeded only by their graciousness. I would consider it a privilege to lead an imagine tour to Israel and hope to bring that to fruition one day.  God bless you for everything.

My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Germany.  Our guides were friendly and very helpful.  The hotels were excellent, and the food at every meal was great.  We were greatly impressed!  We were most interested in seeing the Reformation history sites.  Martin Luther and the other Reformers played such an important role in God’s plan for his Gospel in the world.  I have a much greater appreciation for the work these men did and how they went about doing it.  Their work still influences our lives of faith today.  In addition, I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of German culture. My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Germany.  Our guides were friendly and very helpful. The tour was truly a blessing personally and for my ministry. It has been wonderful to work with you, and we look forward to travelling with you again.  Hopefully soon!

I just wanted to write and thank you for a wonderful trip. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help us understand what and where we were and to give us a closer look at the places we visited. We were delayed seven or eight extra days because of Hurricane Sandy. Thank you for your work in getting us hotel rooms and the extended trip to the Red Sea. The additional day of touring was memorable as we made a few stops on the way to the Red Sea. The whole time we were there I felt very safe and well taken care of. Thanks to God and thanks to you and your team! Our tour guide also gave us good insight into the current political situation and what that meant from time to time in Israel. God’s continued blessings to you and on your work.

I was privileged to travel on an imagine Fam Trip to Germany in 2012.  It was such a great experience to finally see the sites of the Reformation about which I have been teaching for more than 20 years.  When you combine the beauty of Germany with the roots of the Reformation, it is a trip that I highly recommend.  It is awesome to stand in the courts of the Wartburg Castle and sing the battle hymn of the Reformation with fellow Christians or to walk the streets of Wittenberg in the shadow of the Castle Church tower.  imagine Tours & Travel makes it possible for pastors to see these places and share them with the people of their congregation back home.  It definitely enriches your teaching and preaching.  Like all of the men on my tour, I’m excited to go again.  I still need to climb the steeple of the cathedral in Ulm!

My wife and I had a great time on the Germany trip.  We had never been to Germany and had always dreamed of going.  What we found was not only a trip to Germany but a great learning experience on the Reformation and Martin Luther.  We both came back feeling it was a great trip.  This was my first time to travel with Imagine.  I was curious about the kind of tours they provided.  We liked the guides they used, the hotels, and just the overall organization of the tour.  As a result we will be taking a group to Israel next with imagine.

Words (fabulous, unbelievable) cannot describe the tremendous positive impact that my trip to Israel via imagine Tours & Travel has made on my life.  The itinerary really impacted my personal faith life, and has already proven to have provided a snapshot of Israel that will impact my teaching and preaching.   I really was impressed by the Christian witness of our Christian guides in Bethlehem and Nazareth!

Traveling with imagine Tours & Travel to Greece and Turkey exceeded my expectations, and I came with high expectations!  The trip was safe, highly organized in all aspects – the guides, driver, cruise, and hotels.

There was not a single glitch which was amazing with so many details.  imagine was always friendly, competent and flexible. Their customer service was five star in my book. I always felt calm with their leadership no matter what city we were in. I would use them over and over again.”

Thank you! One of the VERY best trips ever for us was to Israel with your outstanding company. You have no idea how many times I refer people to your company when they express travel desires, especially to Israel.

Thank you for the thoughtful Thanksgiving greeting! May your families be blessed beyond measure.

Just a quick note to thank you for arranging such a blessed trip to Israel. Our group had no problems with air travel, hotels, or security. I would especially like to commend our guide Ralph Lewinsohn. His knowledge and professionalism made our trip all the more enjoyable. His local knowledge helped with where to be at what time in order to maximize our experience with minimal waiting. No question was unanswered, and we certainly have a better understanding of the politics and culture surrounding Israel. We all owe him a huge THANK YOU.
