Faith based group travel
Why faith based travel?
The foundation of the churches of America lies in Europe. Reformers like Martin Luther, John Knox and Jean Calvin did not only have an enormous impact on the history of Europe but also gave birth to new doctrines of faith that spread all over America. You will understand historic events like the Reformation much better while standing in Luthers study in Wittenberg than reading a book at home.
Why faith based travel with us?
Since 25 years we do not only show our clients places of religious significance. In little steps of history lessons, we make them understand the historical coherences that led to different „Reformations“ in Europe and what were the consequences for America. There has never been a better time to visit places of religious history. On our tours you will meet European pastors, non-profit-organisations, religious teachers and scholars. You will learn and understand every day and enjoy beautiful scenery We are looking forward to host you in Europe.
Do you have any questions about our travel offers? Please let us know!

TESTIMONIALS
„Please read here some kind words from previous travelers on our tours.“
Paul and Helga Morgan
My wife and I traveled on a private Travel-Ways tour of Brittany that was arranged by and with Volker and Raphaela. They were very open to itinerary suggestions. The tours itinerary, sightseeing, accommodations and meals were very well organized and fully met our expectations. Furthermore, Volker and Raphaela were very friendly and experienced guides and drivers. They were also accommodating for some flexibility during the tour, which is something that one cannot have on the usual larger group tours of Europe.

I have joined with Volker on more than half a dozen tours to various places all over Europe and have found him to be a knowledgeable and efficient tour guide. I recommend him as a libale leader of your tour group. Your needs will be met and you will be glad that you have had the experience of sightseeing and learning about many people, places and events.
A very warm „thank you“ also to his dear wife Raphaela.

I met Volker Vieth on a Globus tour where I was impressed with his handling of two crises and was happy to learn that he and his wife are also owners of a travel company accommodating clients with individual travel plans. Since then we have travelled several times twice with travel-ways and are embar-king on another tour with them. It works like this: we come up with an idea for regional travel and suggest the towns to be visited while travel-ways works out the route, books accommodations, provides transport and guiding services. Where available local guides are hired. Our first tour took us to brick Gothic architecture in towns on one of the Hanseatic trade routes leading from Berlin to Luebeck, visiting small towns that had changed little since 1945 being located in the economic backwater of the GDR. The second tour started in Munich proceeding to the imperial cities of Regensburg and Augsburg, on to the source of the Danube near Blaubeuren. Both tours were professionally managed and economical, providing exemplary service and fulfilling all contract obligations. I will gladly respond to inquiries.

A word about our experiences with Travel-Ways. We have traveled with you and Raphaela on several „private“ tours (either just the two of us, or with close friends). We have always been more than pleased with your services. As we are both historians, we place special importance on older, historic places and structures, and of course the churches of Europe are especially important to us as cultural historic places. You have always seemed to find the most significant sites, and obtain entry and the cooperation of the local clergy. We are still „locked down“ by COVID, but when we travel to Europe again you know you will be hearing from us.

To Whom It May Concern,
I have had the pleasure of arranging two tour groups led by Mr. Volker Vieth. Both were “Reformation” tours to Europe, The first was in m2017, a 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation, where we visited many sites throughout Germany where Martin Luther lived and worked. The second was in 2019 where we visited England and Scotland, visiting the sites of the English (King Henry VIII, largely) and Scottish (John Knox, largely) Reformation. Both were life-impacting trips that none of us will ever forget.
Mr. Vieth has an incredible sense for history and religion. He provided many valuable insights in both trips that gave us greater depth for how these respective countries experienced religious change. In addition, he is a delightful conversationalist, and a great story-teller. His humor and positive out-look are truly gifts. And he is so thoroughly prepared; every aspect of the trips are carefully thought through, and nothing is left to chance. We traveled with the greatest confidence that everything would be fine.
I might add that Volker is assisted by his wonderful wife, Raphaela, who provides “behind-the-scenes” support throughout the experience. In addition, we are currently working with Mr. Vieth in traveling on our third “Reformation” tour in.2022. This time to France, Switzerland, and Germany in pursuit of discovering more about the reformers, Ulrich Zwingli and John Calvin.
If I can provide any further help in giving a personal perspective on Volker Vieth and his work as a tour guide, please do not hesitate to contact me.
