Why the name “206 Tours”?
In the early 80’s, Milanka, our founder made a pilgrimage to Medjugorje. While there, most important activity revolved around evening services and in particular specific time of 20 minutes to 6. Pilgrims, and locals alike, eagerly await for twenty minutes to six (20 to 6) PM, which is the time the alleged apparitions. It was after that trip, that the “fruits” would become “206 Tours” and since “206 Tours” number continued to show up, in the form of “Office Address”, “206 Bones in the Human Body” etc, Thus… . the name was born.
Executive Leadership
In 1985, Milanka Lachman founded 206 Tours after hearing God’s call while traveling on her first Pilgrimage. She started as a 27-year-old single mother of two, with no money, no connections to Catholic clergy, or professional experience. It was a total act of faith.
Since those humble beginnings, God has continued to bless and use 206 Tours and Milanka as instruments for His glory. Today, 206 Tours has grown to become the leader in Catholic Pilgrimages.
For the past 25 years, Milanka has been happily married to Charlie Lachman, and has grown children and several grandchildren. She holds the title of Dame Grand Cross of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre in recognition of her dedication to helping the Christian Community in the Holy Land.
Of the 460,000 pilgrims who have traveled with 206 Tours, 63,000 of the Pilgrimages were given free of charge.
Milanka’s strong leadership has built an extensive network of employees, partners, clergy, and pilgrims around the world.
With 40 years of experience and resilience, 206 Tours continues to provide exceptional Pilgrimages, thanks to our outstanding staff and clients.
