Letters
from November 2006 Pilgrimage
with Wayne
Weible
This was my first experience with 206Tours, but I am sure it will not be my last! I was initially impressed with how personable and helpful you all were when I was first arranging my trip, making my reservation and finding the best departure city. Then, when I arrived in Medjugorje, I was continually impressed with the 206Tours Staff. Everything was so well-organized. Our tour guides, Dragan and Slavenka, were wonderful. They were extremely knowledgeable and caring (especially when I lost my luggage for 3 days!). 206Tours is run not just as a business, but as a group of people who want to share the message of Medjugorje with the pilgrims who go there. I have been recommending 206Tours to friends and family since I got back, and I will continue to do so. I had a wonderful experience, and I can't wait until I can go back!

hello Liz,
Would like to extend huge kudos to your company and the outstanding people working with you at 206tours. Would like to especially thank Sandra for attending to every detail and challenge that my group needed to make this trip so very memorable. Cannot thank Sandra enough for orchestrating the trip for my party of 5 and the subsequent orchestration required for my solo journey after missing my flight from Atlanta to Dulles on Thursday.
Looking forward to the next one!
Best regards,
mark ashcroft

Good
morning Liz,
Our
trip was perfect ~ it could not have been any better ~ everything went just as
planned. Please let me know when you have posted any pictures of our group.
Thank
you,
Libby
Liz, thanks very much for a great trip. I don't think we have any suggestions to improve the pilgrimage. Father Pat and Father Ed were inspiring, simply GREAT. As usual, we enjoyed Wayne and we thank you for the party.
I'm uncertain who we should specifically thank for the trip to the refugee camp and the visit to Cenacolo. Both visits were memorable but, of course, for different reasons.
If we have a complaint, it is something you and we have no control over. It seems as if airline travel becomes increasingly tedious every month.
We are reviewing your latest catalog and I hope we can manage a pilgrimage to Mexico early in 2007 as well as a return to Medjugorje, with Wayne, next November. Medjugorje is truly a special place.
Thank you for the opportunity to travel to Medjugorje again and for your help in getting the documents to us early in order to not conflict with our other travel plans.

Dear Sandra & Liz: The Wayne Tour was exquisite. It was so potent spiritually that we are considering booking the same tour for 2007. Please give us some detail. Again, it was perfect in every way. At the Santa Maria, they gave us the ground floor (Room 001) because it is hard for us to climb stairs. If we do go, I would appreciate the same acccomodations. Thanks for arranging aisle seats on the airplane as well. Thanks again Herta and Hank Tortora
Dear |Liz,
Wow, what an experience! |I have been asked by family and friends about my pilgrimage. I tell them that it is hard to put into words. It has renewed my Catholic faith. Everything with the tour
itself was amazing. The accommodations were great, the food fantastic and best off all, the other pilgrims were super. I cannot think of anything I would suggest to change. Thanks for this experience and I hope to be on another tour soon!
Sincerely,
Anne Knapke
Dear Liz,
Every time I go to Medjugorje with 206 tours the trips just keep getting better and better. The itinerary is informative and yet flexible enough for me to opt out of activities so I can find the quiet time I need for myself. I especially liked the trip to the refugee camp, which is always a highlight of the trip for me. The priests on the trip were terrific as they really helped me stretch spiritually, so we were truly blesssed in that respect. The climb up Cross Mountain to be at the top at sunrise was so special - a true mountain top experience. I've returned home renewed in my faith and much more peaceful than when I left. I am already planning my fifth trip back - with 206 tours of course!
Thanks again,
Pat
P.S. Your employee Milanka was especially helpful and informative on the trip, so please let it be known that she definately deserves a raise and a piece of chocolate! :-)
A great trip of peace and reflection. I will certainly consider 206 for future Pilgrimages.-Peter
I had a wonderful time. I plan on going back and will use 206 Tours. THANK YOU for a great Spiritual Pilgrimage. Linda
Hi Liz,
The pilgrimage was great and the most prayerful one. The house we stayed at was very good
and the guides excellant. The Only * problem was the connection on the way home didn't
happen so I got stuck in munich overnite. Is it posible the airline would through me a free
ticket to be used sometime in the future ?
You people put together a great pilgrimage.
Thanks,
Barry Manfredi
Hi Liz!
Thank you for arranging a wonderful trip! I have much to share and right now I am getting my pictures developed and I hope they come out! I had missed the Group Photo because when I stepped out of the shower I slipped and fell and hurt myself but I'm okay and just bruised. And because of that I didn't climb Cross Mountain but that's okay because I felt the Blessed Mother everywhere else!!

We had a great time. The flights were on time and there is nothing we can do about the tight knee space. The bus was excellent and we were blessed with two great guides. We were blessed with the weather and the lack of Pilgrims in town due to the time of year. this made it easier to enjoy and have the real feel of the trip.
If there was some way to get the Thursday morning at the Drug Rehab onto the video that would have been important. That may have led to a shipping problem but if it cut off at Noon on Thursday and the rest of the tape was ready to go I still think we could have had it in our hands by Friday am or late Thursday.
All the logistics went well. I think we would have liked to spend more time with Wayne and heard him talk more than once. Look forward to working with you all in the future. Chuck Burr
The trip was great. This was my second
time. I think I prefer using Split or Dubrovnik to Sarajevo Airport, and I
missed visiting the town and churches of Dubrovnik. We had a terrible experience
in Chicago OHare with United. I don't ever want to go through OHare or use
United again. We were on our way back to Raleigh-Durham.
Thanks for your help, good priests and good guides.
God Bless.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank specifically Sandra and Liz of 206 Tours for all of their help in preparing me for my pilgramage to Medjugorje. All questions that I had were answered almost immediately with courtesy, professionalism and kindness.
The trip in itself was also very smooth and staff members did a great job with everything. I know that when it comes time for my next pilgramage, my first choice will be to go with 206. Thank you again for everything!
God Bless!
