[read more]I had the privilege of visiting Saudi Arabia back in February of 2020. It wouldn't have been possible without Living Passages. They provided the most unforgettable trip to Mt. Sinai, the Split Rock and Rephidim, Moses Well, the Red Sea and so much more. They provide a wonderful experience and the ingredients were top quality: Lodging, Transportation, Visa, and the chance to walk in the dust of Moses. Outstanding! If you ever desired to walk where the Exodus ended, contact Living Passages! David McGarrah [read less]

Rhonda Sand is just the best in arranging tours that appeal to Christian interests. I traveled to Israel with a local church through Living Passages. It was the best trip of my life (and I've done a lot of touring). We had a very knowledgeable guide who showed us and taught us the most amazing things, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River, and from the Golan to the Dead Sea...and everything in between, including the Holy City of Jerusalem!

From the very beginning the staff promptly addressed any and all questions, concerns or logistics that I had. I was very impressed with their ability to accommodate a complex travel arrangement.

    Living Passages' worldwide travel experience, expertise and knowledge is first class. The trip to Saudi Arabia was beyond any and all expectations that I had. Being able to go to Mt. Sinai, where God gave Moses the Ten Commandments and spoke to Elijah, was a lifelong quest that was made possible because of Living Passages. Their understanding of the customs and culture of Saudi Arabia made this trip even more enjoyable. The whole experience was a blessing.

My wife JoAnn and I have had the privilege of leading tours in the lands of the Bible for 25 years now but we dreamed of going to Saudi Arabia and Rhonda and the team made it happen. They are true pioneers and have the ability to plan a great trip for you and pull it off. Thank you, Rhonda and Living Passages!

[read more]I would like to express overwheming support for living passages and the over seeing of the tours by Rhonda Sand. I have had the oppurtunity to travel on two tours over the 6 years under her leadership. I have recently been informed by Rhonda Sand that living passages has been granted a first ever to enter in to Saudi Arabia clearly showing that living passages is on the cutting edge world wide regarding places that have never been available to tour groups before. We all have heard the saying that talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words.
    Living Passages under the ownership and leadership of Rhonda Sand simply walks the talk. I would highly recommend to any traveler who wishes to see sites that are not accessible by other tour companies to entertain a trip with living passages.

Living Passages made every single moment of my trip an unforgettable one. From the beautiful places we stayed, to the delicious meals we ate, to the amazing tour guides, and right down to the breath taking places we visited. Rhonda and Cathy were so patient with all the questions I had and went out of their way to be so accommodating. I am hoping that I will be able to take another trip some day and when I do Living Passages will be the first place I call. Thank you so much Rhonda and Cathy!!! [read less]

    Just wanted to thank all of you for such an amazing, well planned, spiritually inspiring trip. Your attention to detail was awesome. I was impressed by the Biblical teaching for each site, museum and archaeological dig. You gave us unique opportunities to visit and participate in “live” Archaeological digs, which were not only instructive, but also a lot of fun. Our group found the usual pottery and quite a few coins, letting us experience the thrill of the find! The certificate of participation was also a great touch! Even your choices of restaurants, food venues and other dining arrangements taught us about the food and customs of the countries we visited. And how awesome was Communion Service in the little chapel at the Garden Tomb. That’s the kind of detail that helps make a trip memorable. You included group teaching, praise and worship services on the cruise portion that helped to keep the theme of the trip foremost in our minds. You worked in the right amount of shopping excursions with excellent discounts. Rhonda, I noticed that you continually checked on the welfare of your group and fostered a sense of family during the trip. I could not help but to remember Psalms 133:1 “Behold, how good and how pleasant for brothers to dwell in unity.” Thanks for the greatest trip and I pray I will have the opportunity to travel with you again in the future.

[read more]My wife and myself along with our eldest daughter and son in law went on the African Safari this past June and had a fantastic time what a wonderful opportunity to experience God’s wonderful creation as a once in a lifetime experience!!!
    We saw amazing countryside, cheetahs, wildebeest, lions, elephants, monkeys, giraffes, wart hogs, hippopotamus, rhinos and many native birds including the Ostrich!!!
    We got to walk with the lions on one of their daily walks out side of their holding pen. Think of that to walk with a lioness outside a cage on the open savannah where she could just take off…….wow!
    We also took a hot air balloon ride over the savannah and saw the herds from above. The giraffes were surprised that we would be above them and seemed quit curios.
    I highly recommend Living Passages as a tour organizer the accommodations were first class.     [read less]

They scheduled too little time for changeovers/connections at airports. Twice an hour or less which is by far too little time to allow for potential delays. This resulted in us missing our initial overseas flight and almost missing a connection on our return. Other than flight arrangements, they were excellent. [read less]

Rhonda is amazing and puts together an amazing experience for the traveller and handles ALL the details. You do not have to worry as she covers it all. If I could give her more stars, I would! She is an amazing Christian--Christ centered and focused. She truly knows all the ins and outs of traveling in style as well as including all the places you would want to visit while there. We loved our trip to the 7 Churches of the Revelation from the beginning to the end! If you are looking for a trip with fellow believers and want to go a step above with luxury accommodations and so much more, I would recommend Living Passages to anyone who has never travelled as well as to any seasoned traveller. She made our trip very close to perfect! She cares about making it great! Thanks Rhonda! We will be coming back again and again! God bless you! [read less]

It was "Amazing" to hear and learn from Russ how this all tied in to the Bible it was an experience of a life time. Russ our guide did an Excellent job in his teachings as he lead us through our tour. We felt that the cost of this trip was well worth every dollar. Rhonda was Russ's assistant who truly has a heart to care for and minister to God's people. Anyone can visit the Grand Canyonand and view all it's beauty but we returned home with so much more. The fellowship was amazing with others and I think my husband had the time of his life laughing and talking with others. The tour was very organized and well planned in every aspect. We stayed at great Hotels and had wonderful meals. I TRULY can't think of one single thing that was bad it was such a "Great" Tour with the "Greatest Guides". The testimonies of others was such a special time of encouragement and witness to others of the God's Love for us All.
