Testimonials from Choir Directors
“If you are thinking of taking a choir on an international tour you should definitely check out Peter’s Way Tours! I had such an incredible experience working with them. From start to finish, they knocked it out of the park. Peter Bahou and his team truly handle all of the details so even as a director you just show up and enjoy the experience along with your singers."
-Timothy Tharaldson, Director of Choral Activities at Benedictine College
“All of the venues were so well organized and not to mention breathtaking in both physical and spiritual beauty, all we had to do was sing, and so they did. The choir grew from the beginning of the tour to the end, each experience bringing new depth and emotion to their work.”
-Patrick Allen, Organist and Master of Choristers at Grace Church in New York
“We are all in awe of the opportunities you were able to make available to our group, and your personalized service was truly outstanding. We truly never expected to be in so many special venues, and we know that it was all only possible because of your knowledge and position. You and all of your staff really went out of your way to make this a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all of us!"
-Eric Hankey and Linda Reano, Bishop Montgomery High School
