I accompanied my daughter on this tour. What a blessing for the two of us to see “today” through the lens of history; and to see it with a God-view. What an incredible opportunity for them to learn so much more about things they’d studied in their classroom; with the more important dimension not written in textbooks - how God is at work through the ages to this very moment.

Traveling to England with Beyond the Books Tours is a top-notch, Five-Star service-experience. The dynamic duo of Sandra Wyllie and Deborah Lillenberg is un-matched as they magically work together in bringing your group an amazing, perfectly planned experience. Not only do they provide the best of the best in hotels, restaurants and hands-on learning arenas, but they always give personalized attention to the specific needs of your group, whether that be special meal requirements to an understanding of your particular group dynamics.

I had the immense privilege of being able to go on the 2016 Brit Lit England trip with my son. I had seen pictures and heard stories, but this trip far exceeded my high expectations! This is such a well planned trip packed with sights and information. England is a beautiful country and to be able to see first-hand so much history and culture left me in awe.
