The Christmas Pageant was wonderful - a great trip - thank you both. Judy, Ruawai
The highlight of my tour was meeting Dr. Schuller. What a charisma he has, and yet so humble with it. What an amazing campus - each building a specialty on it’s own, all with that wonderful peaceful feeling so evident throughout. Janet, Tauranga.

Thank you so much Garry and Marie, for your organizing skills, patience, and just being a ‘neat’ couple. The tour for me was a dream come true - never did I expect to achieve seeing the ‘Cathedral’. The whole tour was a WOW experience - memories that I will not forget. Thank you both again for arranging the tour and your expertise in making it an unforgettable journey in life. Jewel, Auckland
I am still savouring the times we had, and as every day was so packed with awesome places and people, I can’t believe we fitted so much in to such a (relatively) short time. Your preparation and guidance during the trip was wonderful. Even though I didn’t think it was possible, each day became more amazing. I look forward to repeating the trip again. I do appreciate and thank you for all your thought and care to make a truly memorable trip for us all. Carol, Hamilton

This tour was one of the best we’ve ever done, and the tour leaders THE BEST. We’ve told everyone it was ‘Top Shelf’. Fey and Doug, Raetihi
A highlight for me was just ‘being there’ and hearing that massive organ. We were very lucky to have Dr. Schuller talk to us. He was such a humble man - just like a father. Thank you for the attention to detail to make our trip so smooth. I am waiting for the ‘Glory of Creation’. Rosalie, New Plymouth
The first time I’d ever been on a group tour a wonderful experience. Tour leaders both have just the best personal qualities for this role - they put so much thought and care into the planning. I just loved the tour I have the happiest and warmest memories from it - felt privileged to be part of that group. Barbara, Wellington
Great tour - loved it all. Thank you for making it all possible. Roger, Tauranga
