Our adventure starts as we depart from Green Bay and pick up fellow travelers in Appleton, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Lomira, Allenton and Milwaukee. As we settle into our comfortable motorcoach, you can take in the scenery of the Midwest while chatting with new friends. After crossing Illinois and Kentucky and an included lunch, we arrive in Nashville, Tennessee, where a warm welcome awaits at the Drury Inn & Suites Nashville. After check‑in, unwind and enjoy the hotel’s complimentary evening Kickback with hot food and beverages.

The following day we continue south through Tennessee and Alabama, pausing for comfort stops and a leisurely lunch near Montgomery. By late afternoon we reach Valdosta, Georgia. Our stay at the Drury Plaza Inn & Suites offers another evening of relaxation and a chance to savor the complimentary Kickback before turning in for the night.
Day 3
Wednesday, January 13
After breakfast, we leave Georgia and make our way to Florida’s Gulf Coast, arriving at the Holiday Inn & Suites Clearwater Beach. This beachfront hotel offers Gulf‑view rooms, and its enviable location means you’re mere steps from white sand and turquoise waters. Everything you need—from groceries to restaurants and shopping—is within easy walking distance. After an orientation stroll along the shoreline, take time to soak in the Florida sunshine and enjoy dinner on your own at a nearby restaurant.
Day 4
Thursday, January 14
Our first full day in Clearwater takes us to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, home to rescued dolphins, sea turtles and otters. After meeting these inspiring animals, we head an included group lunch in the area. The afternoon is yours to relax on the beach and have dinner on your own.

Enjoy a full day of leisure on Clearwater Beach. Whether you prefer a calm stroll along the promenade, lounging under a beach umbrella, browsing local shops or joining a sunset cruise, there are countless ways to enjoy this slice of paradise. With restaurants and grocery stores just steps away, it’s easy to plan a picnic or savor fresh seafood at a beachfront café
Day 6
Saturday, January 16
Today we journey to Tarpon Springs, a charming Greek‑American community renowned for its natural sponge industry. Wander along Dodecanese Boulevard, where shops overflow with natural sponges and Greek pastries.

Late afternoon we will head back to Clearwater beach for an Included dinner on along the water.

Sunday offers a welcome pause. Attend an optional worship service, relax on the beach or explore the markets. This is your day to enjoy Clearwater at your own pace.

We begin with a visit to Sunken Gardens, a century‑old botanical garden with paved pathways leading past waterfalls, koi ponds and more than 500 species of lush tropical plants. The gardens provide accessible parking, restrooms and wheelchair‑friendly walkways. After a peaceful stroll, enjoy lunch in downtown St. Petersburg and spend the afternoon discovering the Historic Kenwood arts district’s galleries and studios. An included group dinner this evening will be the perfect end to the day.

We say goodbye to the warm breezes of Clearwater Beach and begin our journey north toward Georgia. The ride offers time to relax, enjoy the scenery, and reminisce about our week along the Gulf Coast. Along the way, we make a special stop at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins—one of the largest aviation museums in the country.
After our visit, we continue to Morrow, where we settle into the Drury Inn & Suites for the evening. Once checked in, everyone can unwind and enjoy Drury’s signature Kickback reception while sharing stories from a memorable week in the sun.

Experience thoughtfully planned adventures that combine exceptional destinations, genuine fellowship, and the comfort of traveling with a trusted Christian community.
Tour Directors Who Pray With You, Not Just Greet You
Our directors lead the devotions, share their own faith stories, and join the dinner conversation. They aren't hired guides reading a script; for them, leading Christian travel is a calling, not a paycheck.
A Midwest Family Company, three Generations Deep
Scott and Tammy ran TCT for 13 years and their son Tom and his wife Becca run it today. Call us and you'll reach a real human: no call center, no hold queue, no outsourced bookings desk.
Premium Travel Without the Luxury Markup
We don't pretend to be Four Seasons or Viking Cruises. We pick mid-to-premium hotels, well-run restaurants, and quality experiences without the luxury markup, so you get comfort and real value without paying for a brand name
Comfortable Pacing, Designed for the Long Haul
We don't cram 14 cities into 7 days. Our itineraries leave room for free afternoons, sit-down meals, and the kind of pacing that lets you come home rested instead of running on fumes.
Christian Travel That Goes Beyond Bible Lands
Most Christian tours specialize in Israel and Egypt. We travel all across the US and around the world because we know it’s not the destination that matters, it's the like-minded people that make every place feel closer to home.
A Fellowship That Feels Like Family
Most tour groups scatter at the end of the trip and never speak again. Our guests trade Christmas cards, host each other for dinner back home, and rebook the next trip together year after year
