Paul C.
I took my 10 year old twins and my 78 year old dad with me on the Ultimate Family Church History Tour. This was one of the best experiences of my life. We didn't just visit historical sites of the restoration, we experienced them. This tour did everything to make our travel convenient and spiritual. The ages of the people of our group ranged from my kids age to my dad's age, and in the end, we were all family. I will always treasure this life changing experience. I cannot rate HI 5 Live high enough and look forward to my next adventure with this amazing tour group
Response from the owner:Paul, thank you for bringing your twins and dad on the Ultimate Family Church History Tour and for this wonderful review. We’re thrilled the tour made travel convenient, spiritual, and created a family atmosphere across generations. Your kind words about HI 5 Live mean a lot to our team. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another life-changing adventure.
Rebecca B.
This was such a special and unique experience! I seriously loved this trip so much and am so grateful to have seen some of the most significant and important historic church sites. The spirit was present in every moment during our trip, at the sites, through leaders and youth and everywhere we went. I initially thought it’d be like Fsy on tour, and while there are similarities, it is a completely different experience all together. They’re both amazing, but this is seriously a once in a lifetime opportunity that I’ll never forget. I LOVED my leaders so much and hearing stories from them never got boring! You’ll end up loving everyone on the tour and finding/growing your testimony of our savior Jesus Christ, God, Joseph Smith and many of the saints that helped in building and restoring the gospel of Jesus Christ. Being with Brad Wilcox was also so so special. He is amazing and will love and teach you more than you could ever imagine. There’s so much more I could say abt this tour! If you have the opportunity to go and be apart of this, DO NOT MISS IT! It will change your life in the best ways!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Rebecca, for this beautiful review. We're delighted the tour felt special and that the historic sites, leaders, and youth touched you and helped strengthen your testimony. Brad Wilcox and the whole team will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We appreciate you recommending the experience and are grateful you traveled with us.

I am 19 and preparing to serve a mission. This tour was incredible and I would recommend this to anyone hoping to gain a deeper conversion and learn specific details about the history of the saints.

Will G.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Church History trip through the East Coast was one of the most meaningful and unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had. Visiting the places where so much of early Church history unfolded made the stories come alive in a way I never expected. Every stop was inspiring, well organized, and full of opportunities to learn and strengthen my testimony. The leaders and guides were incredible—they were knowledgeable, caring, and made the experience enjoyable from beginning to end. I also loved getting to know everyone on the trip and creating memories that I’ll never forget. I came home with a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices and faith of the early Saints and a stronger testimony of the restored gospel. I would recommend this trip to anyone who has the opportunity to go. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Response from the owner:Will, thank you for sharing your wonderful review and for recommending the Church History East Coast trip.

I went on a mission prep tour through hi-5 live. I experienced the church history sites and learned more about what the Saints experienced.

James D.
Hi-5 Live was an incredible experience that strengthened my testimony in so many ways. Throughout the tour, I felt the Spirit often as we visited important Church history sites and learned about the faith, sacrifice, and devotion of the early Saints. Hearing these stories where they actually happened made Church history feel real and helped deepen my appreciation for the restored gospel. One of the best parts of the experience was the friendships I built with the other youth and leaders. We laughed together, learned together, and grew closer as we shared meaningful spiritual experiences. I also came away with a much better understanding of Church history and the events that shaped the Church. I’m so grateful for this opportunity, and I would recommend Hi-5 Live to anyone who wants to strengthen their testimony, learn more about the gospel, and create lasting memories.
Response from the owner:Thank you, James, for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled Hi-5 Live strengthened your testimony and that visiting Church history sites and sharing spiritual experiences with other youth and leaders made the tour so meaningful.

We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you or your group on another tour soon.

This mission prep tour was very helpful. It helped strengthen my relationship with Heavenly Father, grow my testimony, and deepened my desire to become a missionary. I have felt the spirit countless times while here, and wish this tour was a little longer!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Teigh, for the wonderful review. We’re so glad the mission prep tour strengthened your relationship with Heavenly Father, deepened your testimony, and increased your desire to serve.

Going on this tour was one of the best if not the best decision I’ve ever made. My life will never be the same from the love and spiritual experiences I’ve had while on this trip. The devotionals were absolutely fascinating which is a real feat when dealing with youth. The leaders and other youth are amazing and I wouldn’t trade this experience for the world.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Alyssa. We’re honored the tour became such a transformative experience for you and that the devotionals resonated with the youth. It’s wonderful to hear our leaders and fellow participants helped make the trip so meaningful. We appreciate you sharing and hope to hear how these experiences continue to shape your journey.

James D.
Hi-5 Live was an incredible experience that strengthened my testimony in so many ways. Throughout the tour, I felt the Spirit often as we visited important Church history sites and learned about the faith, sacrifice, and devotion of the early Saints. Hearing these stories where they actually happened made Church history feel real and helped deepen my appreciation for the restored gospel. One of the best parts of the experience was the friendships I built with the other youth and leaders. We laughed together, learned together, and grew closer as we shared meaningful spiritual experiences. I also came away with a much better understanding of Church history and the events that shaped the Church. I’m so grateful for this opportunity, and I would recommend Hi-5 Live to anyone who wants to strengthen their testimony, learn more about the gospel, and create lasting memories.
Response from the owner:Thank you, James, for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled Hi-5 Live strengthened your testimony and that visiting Church history sites and sharing spiritual experiences with other youth and leaders made the tour so meaningful. It’s great to hear the friendships you built and the deeper understanding of the restored gospel were highlights. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you or your group on another tour soon.

Going on this tour was one of the best if not the best decision I’ve ever made. My life will never be the same from the love and spiritual experiences I’ve had while on this trip.

Oh my gosh, this literally was most amazing experience. I am 18 and I just finished senior year in high school and have been not super sure what to do next with my life and this has really given me guidance and giving me a great experience and I felt the spirit so much. I’m just so grateful that I was able to go. I 100% recommend it! Even if you’re not thinking about a Mission or if you’re just wanting to go on a fun, faithful adventure literally do it! I learned so much about myself about Jesus Christ and about life in general! And it was so fun and I gained so many new experiences and friends! It was amazing!
