The BTC Faith Tours Team
At BTC Faith Tours, we believe every journey of faith begins with the people who guide it.
Our team combines decades of experience in travel planning, leadership, and ministry-minded service to create experiences that move the soul as much as they inspire the senses.
Each of us brings a distinct calling—whether it’s the care and precision behind every itinerary or the devotion to helping travelers walk where their faith comes alive. Together, we share one purpose: to handle every detail with excellence so you can focus on reflection, fellowship, and the deeper meaning of your journey.
Julio Sanchez
Founder, Beyond the Castle Travel
Julio founded BTC Faith Tours as an extension of his lifelong belief that travel can change hearts, strengthen faith, and bring people closer to purpose. A U.S. Army veteran and seasoned travel professional, he combines precision and passion in every detail of the journeys he creates. His leadership reflects a blend of service, stewardship, and a deep respect for the transformative power of travel.
Through BTC Faith Tours, Julio seeks to make each pilgrimage effortless and inspiring—whether it’s walking where Jesus once walked, visiting ancient cathedrals, or tracing the roots of faith across continents. His mission is simple: to help travelers experience the world through a lens of gratitude, connection, and wonder.
Tyrone Mickens

After more than 30 years of distinguished service in the United States Army, Tyrone brings to BTC Faith Tours both seasoned leadership and a calling rooted in faith and fellowship. As an ordained minister, he believes travel can be a sacred act—one that restores the soul and draws believers closer to God through the places and stories that shaped their faith.
Tyrone views every journey as an opportunity for worship and reflection, a chance to witness the living testimony of God’s word across the world. With a calm presence and a servant’s heart, he ensures that each traveler feels cared for, supported, and spiritually uplifted—no matter how far the path may lead.
