About Eagle Christian Tours
A back-to-back "Best Workplace" award winner in 2025 and 2026, Eagle Christian Tours exists to glorify God by serving people with the heart and mind of Christ. Located in Rome, GA, we are the #1 customer-reviewed motorcoach company in the United States, operating a fleet of 58 buses including 45' Prevost motorcoaches, 30' Temsa buses, and Ford minibuses. With over 13,000 trips per year, we serve a wide variety of guests including tour groups, college athletics, church groups, senior citizens, schools, weddings, and camps. While we have been in all 48 states, 80% of our trips remain in the southeast region of the United States.

Most days typically run 10–12 hours from start to finish. Trips vary from single-day outings to multi-week tours, with an average length of 3 days.
