About Us

We are a team of Jehovah’s Witnesses who have worked together for years helping groups from across the UK, Europe and beyond to plan a weekend of fun, fascinating and theocratically upbuilding activities to complement and supplement their visit to Bethel.

FAQs

  • Are you officially endorsed or approved by Bethel/Watchtower?

    No, we are not, and nor are any other tour operators. A tour of Bethel can be booked by anybody at any time completely free of charge through jw.org. We simply support your visit to Bethel with a range of associated and supplementary services.

  • Are you connected with Meander Travel or Magnify Tours?

    No, we are not. We have known and respected Meander Travel (and later Magnify Tours) since their inception and have often used them to deliver our Museum tours. These days our Museum tours are delivered by our sister company, Bible Tours.

  • Are you connected with Bible Tours?

    Yes, we are. The only other company we have any direct ties with is Bible Tours.

  • How long have you been doing tours like these?

    We first began guiding tours of the British Museum and assisting others with planning their visits to Bethel over 40 years ago. Since then we have helped with 100s of tours and over the years we have built up a wealth of experience and knowledge that we can use in helping you to plan your trip.
