In 1820, a young boy in New York prayed in a grove of trees, a moment that marks the beginning of a history shared today by all with a testimony of the Book of Mormon. Our New York to Kirtland Tour takes you from his birthplace in Sharon, Vermont through the milestones of his life, leading to the John Johnson Farm in Hiram, Ohio. From the Smith Family Farm to the Prophet’s Mansion House in Historic Nauvoo, the landmarks in this tour paint the story of Joseph Smith. Intended for youth anywhere in their Church History journey, this tour testifies to the amazing work of the Prophet.

Walk where they walked. Since the beginning of the Church, the Saints have been persecuted from one end of the continental U.S. to the other. Along the way, they left behind cultural footprints. In Far West, they planted the cornerstones of a temple; in Nauvoo, the remains of an established city, with dreams facing west. Our Missouri & Nauvoo Tour takes you through the struggles and hardships the people suffered through our history, and celebrates the faith, perseverance, and dedication of the early saints.

our mission
“History is who we are and why we are the way we are.”
–David McCullough, renowned American historian
​
In 2018, our founders set out to offer the graduating class of a local high school a hands-on historical experience. That summer, RB Tours took its first journey across the nation. First-hand, a group of students, parents, and teachers explored the monuments, historical sites, and temples that witnessed the restoration of the gospel. Today, RB Tours remains dedicated to teaching Church history and building faith for all with a testimony of Joseph Smith and his work.
RB Tours now widely offers two Church History tours that bring the stories of Joseph Smith and the saints to life. Our team is driven by our dedication to fostering the religious education of young believers. With qualified guides to accompany tours along every step of the way, RB Tours delivers a unique historical and spiritual experience.
