The Way. The Truth. The Life.

What a 206 Tours Guide Brings to Your Pilgrimage

Anyone can travel to a foreign country, but how do you know what to do when you get there? Language barriers, navigating unknown cities, different currency and time zones…so much is different from your native country and can be overwhelming if you are trying to figure it out on your own.

That’s why when you travel with 206 Tours, you never have to go alone. In addition to your fellow pilgrims and spiritual director, your group will also have a dedicated tour guide whose professional expertise and spiritual guidance will greatly enrich your Pilgrimage experience.

From the moment you land at your destination, your tour guide will be with your group to ensure that you have an incredible and spiritually rich Pilgrimage. Your guide will be your primary point of contact for any questions or needs you may have during your tour, and are fully equipped to handle any difficulties that may arise. They will share the itinerary for the group each day so that you know exactly what to expect. Your guide can also suggest places to visit during your free time including shops, places to eat, or spots frequented by the locals.

Our guides will share their extensive knowledge on ancient religious traditions, favorite devotions, local Saints, and cultural customs that have brought together Christian communities for centuries. They are also fluent in the local language so your group can interact comfortably with the locals and understand what life is like on a daily basis. As you walk through cities or drive through the surrounding countryside, your guide will be able to point out sites of significance and give you a brief history of the region.

At 206 Tours, we take great pride in partnering with the best guides in the tourism industry. Not only do we ensure that our guides can provide exceptional service for the needs of our pilgrims, but we also carefully select partners who share our deep commitment to providing an authentically Catholic experience. Their love for Christ shines through in the way they care for our pilgrims as though they were family. When receiving feedback from our pilgrims after their tour, we consistently hear that one of the highlights was their incredible tour guide(s). Here are just a few examples of what our pilgrims had to say:

• “The guide, Voula Kalapoda, was so detailed in explaining the vast ancient history of Greece as well as the impact the culture had on the Christian Church.” – Glennell M., Greece Pilgrimage
• “I heard many pilgrims say what a fantastic job Sabina did. They said she was the kindest, most competent tour escort they ever had the privilege of traveling with. Knowledgeable, funny, detail oriented.” – Fr. Jay H., O.P., Poland, Prague, Austria, and Budapest Pilgrimage
• “We were particularly blessed to have a most capable and interactive tour guide in the person of Leopold Jimenez. He is most knowledgeable in his craft, caring in his duties, and desirous of going over and beyond to fulfil the needs of the pilgrims and the expectations of 206 Tours which he serves.” – Fr. Don O., Garabandal, Covadonga, Santiago de Compostela, Fatima Pilgrimage
• “Blaza’s knowledge of the history of Medjugorje, communist Yugoslavia, surrounding countries, religious sites etc. were so valuable. Her relationships with other guides, the visionaries, local drivers, & Jelka and Drazen Dabo made this trip more personal from the several I’ve experienced before. She and Slavenka both do amazing jobs for 206 pilgrims and for representing your company!” – Lori H. , Medjugorje
  
  

For many, their tour guide may be the only 206 Tours team member they meet in-person.

A tour guide often becomes the main connection to the pilgrimage, culture, sharing local stories, customs, and insights you might not get anywhere else. When the emergency arises they are the ones to help you navigate. Tour guides can turn a trip into something personal and memorable, connecting the dots between visited places.  

That is why we seek to partner with the best and most caring guides and are blessed to work with some of the most exceptional men and women every day. As time passes, long after we have unpacked, we may forget sights we have visited, or people we met along the way – but we never forget our Guide!

When you travel with 206 Tours, know that we are committed to giving you the best experience possible.
