Your personalized experience continues after your booking.

Once the touring choir is formed and the singers begin rehearsals, we finalize the performances and then plan the daily activities accordingly.

As a hands-on, family-owned tour company, we’ve got your back at every destination. We hand-pick all our partners, from our caring hosts and concert managers, to the friendly and experienced bus drivers who get you to every venue on time, to the service team aboard who welcome you back after each incredible performance.

Introducing our signature Shadow Tours.

Once the concert tour is booked and confirmed, we plan a parallel vacation experience to give family and friends a front-row seat to each musical event — without cramping anyone’s style.
Our shadow tours are uber-personalized journeys as unique and memorable as our performance tours, but with upgrades, additional activities (wine-tasting or Paris by night), and even more insider access just for so-called shadow tour guests.
