Testimonials
“As a pastor I have led a wide variety of church tours, including over 15 trips to Israel, plus trips to Greece, Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic, Jordan, and Egypt. All of these trips were put together and administered by Darla Baird with assistance later on from her husband Jerry. I would teach from the Bible or give lessons from church history. But all the logistics — itineraries, air and hotel reservations, securing busses, trains, ships, guides — were taken care of by Darla and Jerry. They not only took care of these many details, but related in a friendly and winsome manner to all the tour members. If any problems arose, they would quickly solve them. I very highly recommend their tours. You’ll be glad you joined them.”
“It’s a great privilege to recommend Baird Tours. Elaine and I have partnered with Darla and Jerry a number of times—including trips to Israel, Jordan, Greece, and Norway. They are a great team, adding a warm and encouraging touch throughout these experiences.
Whether you go to the land of Israel or follow Paul’s missionary journey’s, the Bible will come alive—almost a three-dimensional experience. Geographical references become forever “visible.” For example, when you read about Paul’s Macedonian call—having crossed over the Aegean Sea, walked through the streets of old Philippi and dipped your fingers in the river where Lydia was baptized—these and a multitude of sights become mental pictures that bring these literary events to life. You’ll never read the Bible the same way again.
We want to take this moment to thank Darla and Jerry! They made it clear to us that they didn’t want this letter to be about them. However, we can’t recommend Baird Tours without saying this—they’re a ministry team with a heart for making trips like these more than memorable. You’ll find they are life changing spiritual experiences!”
“We had the most amazing journey to Israel with Darla and Jerry. It was so much more than we ever hoped for, with the perfect mix of historical, biblical teaching, packaged in luxury with plenty of laughter, fun and adventure. We weren’t very experienced travelers outside the country, but every question was answered before we ever had a chance to think of it. We always felt safe and even when the weather threw us a curve ball they maneuvered that to save the day. When offered the next big tour to Greece, we signed up immediately and can’t wait to set sail. We love fun, adventure and new experiences. Jerry and Darla have the perfect recipe.”
