Tour Leader Program

Anyone Can Lead a Pilgrimage

You don't need to be a travel professional. If you have a connection to a Catholic parish, school, or organization — and a desire to bring your community on a meaningful faith journey — you already have what it takes. Glory Tours provides everything else.

The Most Asked Question

How Does the Free Travel Work?

10Paying Passengers
=
1Free Place

For every 10 paying passengers, one complimentary place is included. With a group of 25 pilgrims, that means your Tour Leader and your accompanying Priest both travel completely free of charge. Larger groups unlock additional complimentary places.

Benefits of Being a Tour Leader

Beyond free travel, our Tour Leader program is designed to give you full support every step of the way.

You Travel Free

One complimentary place for every 10 paying passengers. Lead a group of 25 and both you and your accompanying Priest travel at no cost.
