To whom it may concern,I regret this note is long overdue, but its sentiments are no less diminished. On November 7, 2018, I was fortunate to have taken a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with your company and Maria Regina Parish with Father Frank Nelson as our Spiritual Director. It was the trip of a lifetime.From the moment the trip was booked, I couldn’t have been more pleased with 206 Tours. Any time we had a question, your staff was always so helpful answering our questions or finding a solution. The meeting just before our trip was extremely helpful as well. I would also like to comment on the package that was sent to our homes prior to our departure. The backpack I received was the highest quality and came in handy during the trip. In addition, the small bag inside with the travel documents was so useful and contained everything we needed for a prayerful pilgrimage. The nametags also were great for learning each other’s names and for identifying who was in our group. Once we arrived in Israel, we were met by Sa’id, our wonderful guide. He was kind and caring and so knowledgeable. He was passionate about his job and truly wanted to make our experience the best it could be – and he succeeded. He so exceeded our expectations. He adapted things to meet our needs, bought local foods so we could taste them, and did whatever he could do to please us. He truly is an asset to your company. I have taken many pilgrimages and I can honestly say that I think he was the best guide I have ever had! I would also like to compliment our bus driver whose name regrettably escapes me, who so masterfully and capably drove us around Israel. He maneuvered that huge bus into some of the most amazingly tight spots and kept us safe on our journey. Kudos to him!In Israel, I also appreciated all the special touches provided by 206 Tours – the maps, the hat, the Rosary beads, the wooden cross and the bottled water on the bus. All these helped set your agency above the others.I was so thrilled with my 206 experience that I look forward to many more 206 pilgrimages in the future. Please pass my compliments on to Sa’id and our bus driver.

Sincerely,

Patricia A. Regan
