Our hearts are full of joy and gratitude for all of the wonderful memories we have had with our dear travelers. We are overly blest and are drinking from our saucers because our cups have overflowed. Thank you for your support and encouragement. We so enjoy the times that we spend with you.
However, our aging bodies have brought us to the decision to cease operations of Blessed Byways Tours as of December 31, 2023. We love the travel business and most of all the dear people who we have been able to serve for the past 25 years! God has owned our business and we've seen Him do amazing things over and over and over. There have been times when problems arose and we discover He already had the situation taken care of.
We have been so blessed to rub shoulders with some of the most wonderful people in God's creation.
With the rising cost of trips if you are concerned if you might have to cancel a trip you signed up we recommend that you contact your insurance agent and purchase travel insurance. We refund what we can if we can get a refund from the companies we do business with but some attractions, tickets, etc. now have no refund policies.
Thanks for all the memories.
