Group tours
If you work at a school, belong to an organization, church, or club, you can schedule a group tour with one of our knowledgeable tour leaders. Our tours are perfect if you have a passion for history, are interested in spirituality and religion, have a love of nature, or are curious about living more sustainably.
A guided tour is one of the best ways for you to understand our story and how it applies to these topics.
You can choose the tour schedule that works best for your group.
