WHAT TO EXPECT

The Footstep Ministries Difference

At Footstep Ministries, we believe that meaningful travel is about more than visiting incredible places. It's about experiencing the history, culture, and biblical significance of each destination while building lasting relationships along the way. From thoughtfully selected accommodations to personalized service, every detail of our tours is designed to provide an enriching, comfortable, and memorable experience.

Carefully Selected Accommodations

We thoughtfully select our hotels with an emphasis on location, quality, comfort, cleanliness, and safety. Our longstanding relationships with trusted hotel partners help us provide a welcoming atmosphere throughout your journey.

Students typically share rooms with two or three other travelers of the same gender from their group. Adults are generally accommodated in double-occupancy rooms, with single-room accommodations available for an additional fee.

Single-Room Accommodations

Travelers who prefer a private room may request single accommodations for an additional supplement. Please note that European single rooms are often smaller and more simply furnished than double rooms.

Solo travelers who would prefer to share a room may request a roommate. We are happy to help coordinate rooming arrangements when possible, although roommate availability cannot be guaranteed.

Authentic Local Cuisine

Food is an important part of experiencing a new culture! Breakfast is typically served at our hotels, while group lunches and dinners offer opportunities to enjoy a variety of regional dishes at local restaurants. We carefully plan meals to provide a wonderful introduction to the flavors and traditions of each destination.

Comfortable, Reliable Transportation

We partner with trusted motorcoach companies that provide clean, comfortable, air-conditioned transportation. Our experienced professional drivers are familiar with both the cities and countryside, allowing you to relax and enjoy the journey.

Thoughtful Travel Resources

We want you to feel prepared and confident before you ever leave home. Our travelers receive helpful resources, including packing recommendations, travel insurance information, suggested reading, and other important details.

We also create customized educational coursepacks that follow the daily itinerary, offering historical and biblical insights, along with space for personal notes and reflection. These resources help bring greater meaning to the places you'll experience.

And whenever questions arise, our office is just a phone call or email away!

Exceptional Value and Transparent Pricing

We believe an extraordinary travel experience should also be a great value. Our tours are thoughtfully priced, with clear information about what is included so you can plan with confidence.

When comparing tours, we encourage you to look beyond the price and consider the accommodations, meals, transportation, educational resources, and personal attention included in your experience.

Our goal is to provide an exceptional journey that combines quality travel, biblical education, and meaningful relationships.

We Handle the Details

From registration and travel preparation to the day-to-day logistics of your tour, our experienced team handles the details so you can focus on the experience.

We provide practical travel information, devotional resources, suggested reading, packing lists, and helpful recommendations to make your journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Personal Attention Every Step of the Way

Personal attention has always been at the heart of Footstep Ministries. We take pride in being accessible, responsive, and genuinely invested in each traveler's experience.

Our stateside office is available to answer questions and assist with preparations before departure. Throughout your tour, our leaders travel alongside you, providing guidance, support, and assistance when needed.

You're never just another traveler to us. We want you to feel cared for from the moment you register until you return home.

A Legacy of Experience and Financial Stability

Since 1982, Footstep Ministries has been committed to providing meaningful educational travel experiences built on trusted relationships, responsible financial management, and personal service.

Through decades of changes and challenges in the travel industry, our commitment to thoughtful planning and sound stewardship has remained constant.

We are grateful for the trust our travelers place in us and consider it a privilege to help them experience the lands, history, and stories of Scripture firsthand.

More Than a Tour. A Journey That Brings Scripture to Life.

At Footstep Ministries, our passion is helping travelers connect the places of the Bible with the stories of Scripture. Through thoughtful planning, engaging teaching, and genuine personal attention, we strive to make every journey an experience that stays with you long after you return home.
