Terra Lu is
the group travel specialist for religious travel in Central Europe.
Our origin is Terra Lutherana, the land of Martin Luther,
recognizing that the Reformation movement changed lives, churches,
and the society in many countries and denominations. The Terra Lu
experience started in 1990 with a six-week European tour for a university
choir. From that time on, more and more groups from congregations,
schools, and universities have used the inside knowledge of Terra
Lu Travel.
All our trips
are "hand crafted" as they are exclusively developed for
the various wishes and needs of our clients. We are working as the
B2B incoming agency for international travel companies and institutions
who are dedicated to quality religious travel.

is involved in many projects in the field of "church and tourism."
He was the director of the Contact Office for Church and Tourism
for the LutherYear 1996. Facing the Luther Year 2017 Christian recently
developed the "LutherDecade" marketing campaign for Wittenberg
county. Since 2011 the "Luther500
Festival", developed and operated by Terra Lu Travel,
takes place every other year in Lutherstadt Wittenberg. Terra Lu
Travel is the German travel partner of "Refo500,"
an international project that seeks to demonstrate the continuing
relevance of the Reformation through books, seminars, art exhibitions,
teaching materials and travel opportunities.
Terra Lu Travel offers outstanding travel experiences to group-travel
organizers, and also works with local tourism organisations in developing
the best offers for travelling groups. Located in Germany and having
long-established and ongoing local contacts, Terra Lu Travel is
able to make arrangements which will take your group behind the
scenes and provide a unique inside view of Europe. No two Terra
Lu tours are the same, since each tour is individually designed
to the specific wishes of the groups.
Upon your request
a Terra Lu Companion will be the group's escort and good
pal in Europe. He or she helps the group to find the way around,
gives brief introductions to the sights your groups visit, takes
care of details with hotels and bus drivers, helps with orders from
the menu in German restaurants, translates what is written on souvenirs,
and will answer all questions. In brief: On behalf of all Germans
the Terra Lu Companion will do his or hers best to make your group
feel comfortable and welcomed.
All Terra Lu
Companions are trained by Terra Lu Travel and are experienced group
leaders. Also local guides, who might join the group for specific
tours, are hand-picked by Terra Lu Travel.
Working for
tour operators, Terra Lu Travel keeps its own name "undercover."
From the welcome at the airport to the signs at the busses and announcements
in hotels, the Terra Lu staff only uses the name of the contract
partner. This way, travellers do not forget where they booked the
tour, and Terra Lu Travel knows: It is your group.
Groups only.
You need to have a group to use the services of Terra Lu Travel.
Terra Lu Travel will not do business with individuals. If you do
not have a group yet you might contact a tour operator in your home
country. Tell the operator to contract Terra Lu Travel for all land
operations in Europe. The tour operator will deal with the members
and manage all business in your country, while Terra Lu takes care
of the trip in Europe. Terra Lu Travel will be pleased to suggest
partner tour operators.
