Hi Natasha!

I cannot thank you enough for making this most recent pilgrimage a breeze for our pilgrims and for me. I could NOT have done it without your guidance.

I am planning next pilgrimage for this November with a couple of us leaving early again.

Thank you, thank you, for all you did and continue to do for Our Lady and Our Lord.

Alex,

You are such a professional at your trade. I love working with you to plan and execute beautiful, often life-altering, pilgrimage itineraries and unforgettable experiences around the world.

206 Tours is a wonderful company and we love traveling with you. The recent journey was an excellent example. We enjoyed the opportunity for our group to share faith, food & fellowship while growing in our love for Our Lady of Medjugorje.

The extension did not disappoint as we enjoyed Dubrovnik, Split & Kotor and Our Lady if the Rocks in Montenegro.

Ivan was the consummate professional throughout, always keeping us informed and engaged with a active schedule that allotted time to rest, recharge and participate in all the events at St. James Church & grounds.

I would give this one an A+ for sure!

Thank very, very much for all you do.

Dear Milanka, Dominic, Cara and Natasha,

My words alone cannot express my gratitude, as well as the thanks from our pilgrims, for all of your work on making our “Walking in the Footsteps of Carlo Acutis” pilgrimage so wonderful. The trip was well planned by all of you! Thank you!

I have nothing but the highest of praise for Ana, our 206 tour guide in Italy. She was a pure joy! Ana looked after us perfectly from the airport arrival to airport departure with joy, skill and expertise. She was on top of every last detail and was very accommodating.

Thank you from the depth of our hearts for ensuring a tremendous experience.

I look forward to working with you again for future pilgrimages and please let me know if you ever need a spiritual director for one of your own pilgrimages.

God bless you all!

Dear Milanka,

Christ’s peace! We are so grateful to 206 Tours for all the planning and coordination of our pilgrimage to Our Lady of Guadalupe. It was a very grace-filled time for everyone who attended. Many thanks especially to Alexandra, Cat, and Jacob for all their work with us and our pilgrims, and to Roberto for his presence with us in Mexico!

God bless,

Sr. Anne Marie

Everything went very well on the pilgrimage! It was a wonderful time for everyone!

I’m very happy with the work of 206 Tours! You run an amazing company!

Thank you for all you do!

In Christ,

Fr. Jeffrey Kirby

Thanks to you and your team, we truly had a memorable trip to the Home of Our Lady of Guadalupe! Jesus, our guide was GREAT with his knowledge of the area and his expertise in handling our group and helping the driver navigate the traffic and crowds. He was certainly befriended by our group and we got to know him and his family history 🙂 Our pastor, Fr Wilhelm, was made for the Mexican people, as everywhere we went he was approached for a blessing of some sort by young and old alike – they could sense his devotion to Mary!

The bus and driver were wonderful and the accommodations and food were top notch – we actually bumped into one of our past Bishops, who now is an Archbishop in Denver, and was on a pilgrimage there also. 🙂

Once again, Thank You, for a great experience – I am already skimming the 206 Tours Pilgrimage master list looking for our next adventure for the Mary Makers!

Take Care and God Bless,

Dean Bittner

Thank you so much for all the assistance for our pilgrimage. We had our follow up meeting and it was amazing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip! There were no negatives. The guides were outstanding and the hotels were reported to be wonderful.

We are planning another pilgrimage and to the person all want to use 206 Tours. That speaks volumes about your wonderful handling of the trips. Natasha and Liz have a wonderful day and God Bless you both.

Thanks,

Tom

Thank you to everyone at 206 Tours for a beautiful and spiritual pilgrimage to Italy. Magnifico! Thank you for all the time and hard work that went into planning it. So much thought went into this to make it so special. A big thank you to you, Linda, for customizing our pilgrimage to make it one we will never forget.

Thank you for answering all the many questions I had for the last year while planning this. Your caring and thoughtfulness was very evident throughout it all. The hotels were excellent. The locations, the courteous staff, the comforts of home were characteristic of all three. Hotel della Conciliaizone was a very convenient walk to the Vatican. The chef there made sure we were all pleased and the food was excellent. Then the Hotel Gran Paradiso with a breathtaking view!!! It was a little piece of heaven! The wait staff greeted us with big smiles and humor. Finally, Hotel del Moro in Assisi was a very comfortable and welcoming hotel. Food there was also delicious.

Two of the nights in Rome that you reserved restaurants for us was a beautiful way for us to experience the Italian culture. Taverna Angelica is a very warm family owned restaurant . The owners welcomed us and was so attentive to us. We had many laughs with them. The food was beyond words! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone going to Rome! Vanessa- our tour guide — was the best! It was like she was part of our family immediately. She was caring, informative, warm, and a delight to be with! She made sure that when one of the pilgrims did not feel well, that they had what they needed. It was bittersweet to s ay arrivederci to her.

What a surprise when we saw who our bus driver was–Mario! John & I and Fr Ray had him 5 years ago so it was like we were with family again!!! He kept us safe and when he is driving there are no worries! The local tour guides were excellent. Tiziana was also our guide 5 years ago and that was another nice surprise. Our visit to the Vatican, Papal audience and having Mass in St John Paul II Chapel left us in awe. We were blessed to be able to go up the Holy Stairs on our knees on the marble that Our Lord was on! Incredible!

Our visit to Orvieto and the Eucharistic miracle was once in a lifetime event. In fact the local tour guide said that the doors to the Eucharistic miracle is only open a couple of times a year so we probably wouldn’t see it. Guess what? The doors were open that day! This is how the pilgrimage went–so many blessings–so many kisses from God. The visit to Madonna della Latte vineyard is hard to put into words. Leon was a perfect host. It was informative and so much fun. The meats, cheeses and veggies paired with the wines were fantastico! This was a very nice addition to our pilgrimage.

And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better we had the cooking class in Cortona. All the pilgrims had a chance to cook and taste! We made a 4 course meal that I am still thinking about! They even gave us the recipes so we could make them at home. It was a beautiful villa and only made more beautiful with the three generations of this Italian family that lived there. This was a very special visit for all of us–thank you for including this.

Our pilgrims were very appreciative. I have encouraged them to write their thoughts to you. One wrote us a thank you note and I want to share part of it with you “..The planning exquisite! The tour guides terrific! The scenery breathtaking but the people and faith-filled journey beyond superior–God’s best of everything to you two and 206. tours!….”
Thank you again for all you have done for us. We are so grateful and appreciative. We will keep you all in our prayers. We are looking forward to the Holy Land next year April 2020!

God bless,

Valerie & John Sistare

Cat,

I want to thank you for working with me and all the pilgrims to Shrines of Italy. It was a very moving and filled with the Holy Spirit time. All pilgrims were touched and changed forever. The mission that 206 Tours started continues to bring so many close to Our Lord and Our Lady. I cannot tell you the many ways we were all moved. To journey with Deacon Scott and Fr. Israel by the special places handpicked by Jesus and delivered by 206 Tours. May you continue to do his mission here on earth and until our next pilgrimage!

Very grateful and with so much to unpack for the next few weeks. Feeling very blessed!

Thank you team!

In Christ,

Sandra Koceja

Good morning ladies,

I had to take a quick moment at my first opportunity to thank you for that memorable tour you structured for us pilgrims from Saint Joseph Marello parish. You outdid yourselves! Everything about the tour was perfect! There have been so many happy reports from all of our Pilgrims, Father Phil and Deacon Jeff as well as the other 22 of us. We are all very, very, very, very pleased.

Jorge Martin, our tour guide, was remarkable.  We loved him from the first day!  Likewise, your scheduling of our walking days. Although we initially were worried that the days would start too late for us, you were right, your plan worked perfectly. We soon adjusted to Spain’s schedule and the late dining!

Thank you, thank you for putting together this remarkable tour! We will be looking at other pilgrimages for the future through 206!

Best regards and God‘s blessing on you both,

Jann Nicholls

Dear 206 Tours, 

My collaboration with 206 Tours is a great blessing, and the travel experiences are greatly enhanced by the tremendous spiritual and practical care their staff always provides.
