ABOUT MORRIS MURDOCK ESCORTED TOURS:
Morris Murdock Escorted Tours has been fulfilling travel dreams for our clients for over 60 years. Beginning in 1958, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) approached Franklin Murdock about starting an agency to handle the travel needs of its employees and missionaries. Murdock Travel, now Morris Murdock Escorted Tours, was the first tour operator to offer LDS faith-based and Church History escorted tours. Since then, we have expanded our offerings to include cruises, humanitarian, shopping and other types of tours. We only select tour guides and tour directors that are experts in their field or celebrities with an attachment to the destination or tour's theme.
