Welcome to our quarterly newsletter, where you will find destination highlights, featured tours, and travel news!
Fall has officially arrived, and we’re well into a busy travel season. Our recent groups have journeyed to Italy, Ireland, the Danube, Greece & Turkey…with many more departing in the weeks to come. Enriching trips have created lifelong memories: receiving the apostolic blessing from Pope Leo, celebrating Mass at St. Patrick’s grave, touring the magnificent Melk Abbey, and walking in St. Paul’s footsteps through Ancient Ephesus, to name just a few highlights.
The enthusiasm has been tremendous. Most of our groups this fall were sold out months in advance, and many of our 2026 trips already have a wait list. If you’re feeling the call to embark on a pilgrimage next year, now is the perfect time to explore options and make it a reality.
Call us at 952.949.0065 with any questions.

Our Newest Group Experience: Colors of Provence on the Rhône
The Rhône River originates in the melting glaciers of the Swiss Alps and is the only major river flowing directly to the Mediterranean Sea. From historic cities to foodie havens and artistic epicenters, this new itinerary enlivens all your senses. We've again partnered with our preferred river cruise company, AmaWaterways, to offer an intimate exploration of a region that truly lives up to its colorful reputation.
Begin your journey in Nice, a jewel of the French Riviera known for its turquoise waters. Nice will be your base for a private, custom three-night land tour before the river cruise. Experience Monaco, where opulence meets breathtaking coastal views, followed by exploring the medieval charm of Eze. Delve into the cinematic allure of Cannes and the fragrant world of Grasse, the perfume capital.
In Arles, France, embark on a luxurious 7-night Rhône River cruise, seamlessly blending the Riviera's splendor with the picturesque landscapes of Provence. Unpack as you travel from Arles to Lyon, with visits of Avignon, Viviers, Tournon, and Vienne. Trace the steps of famous artists including Van Gogh and Picasso. Go in search of the highly prized “Black Diamond” truffles and learn how to pair chocolate with wine. Explore the Palace of the Popes, the seat of the Papacy in the 14th century when seven successive popes resided in Avignon instead of Rome. Experience the famous indoor market hall Les Halles de Lyon – Paul Bocuse, named after the famous chef dubbed "the pope of gastronomy."
An optional extension to Paris is also offered, including sites such as the Louvre Museum, Sacré-Cœur Basilica, and the recently reopened Notre Dame Cathedral.
