What You Can Expect as a 206 Tours Group Leader:

1. Vision: Your vision is our vision. We will work with you to create a custom Pilgrimage that meets your group’s unique needs and expectations. Our professional team will handle every detail so that you and your fellow pilgrims can enjoy a worry-free spiritual journey.
2. Relationship: At 206 Tours, we pride ourselves on building trust and lasting relationships with our group leaders. We offer fair, competitive pricing and will work alongside you every step of the way. From the time you first reach out to us until the end of your Pilgrimage, a 206 Tours professional will respond to all your needs in a capable and timely manner. Although we serve thousands of pilgrims, our goal is for you to feel as if you are our only client.
3. Promotion: Our Account Managers will work with you to provide all the tools and materials necessary to help promote your tour. Our team will create a custom website for you, complimentary flyers, and social media graphics to help with promotion. Individuals joining your Pilgrimage can book the tour directly on your website, and 206 Tours will process the payment. For ideas on how to promote your tour, Click Here.
4. Spiritual Leader: We ensure that all our tour groups have a priest traveling with them to offer daily Mass, confession, and lead spiritual activities. If you have a spiritual director you’d like to invite, you are welcome to do so. Otherwise, our team will be happy to connect you with one.
5. Inclusions: Many tour operators book lower-rated hotels, have free days without touring, and do not include dinner every day of the tour. 206 Tours offers competitive group pricing, and we will not compromise on inclusions. We are committed to transparency, so you and your pilgrims will know exactly what is included in your tour with no hidden fees.
6. Hotels: 206 Tours will always book centrally located, first-class hotels. We also list the names of the hotels your group will be staying at directly on your tour website. We will also link the names of the hotel to an informational page that includes all the details regarding the hotel. Many of our competitors do not tell you the name of the hotels you will be staying at until after you have booked the tour.
7. Flights: 206 Tours allows pilgrims to book their flights from any airport in North America. Pilgrims can choose to arrive at their destination a few days early and/or stay longer depending on their personal preference. We also cover the cost of seat assignments to guarantee that your pilgrims can sit next to their loved ones. To the best of our knowledge, none of our competitors have seat assignments included in their total cost.
8. Professional Tour Guides: Your group will be paired with a local, professional tour guide who will stay with your group throughout your Pilgrimage. They will be fluent in the local language and can help answer any questions you or your pilgrims may have throughout your tour. Their professional assistance will allow you to focus on the needs of your pilgrims and enjoy your time away from home.
9. Incentives: Our proposals include confidential fundraising, rebates, and free trips for group leaders by request.
10. Secure Payment System: 206 Tours accepts payments from all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover), ACH (Automatic payment through checking accounts), check, and PayPal. All payments are processed safely and securely via our website. 206 Tours never houses payment information. It always goes directly to the payment processor. Your pilgrims will also be able to access all their information using their account on our website. Pilgrims can review all details and information related to their tour 24/7.
11. Education & Evangelization: There is no better way to grasp the beauty and rich history of the Catholic faith than through a Pilgrimage. They dramatically increase one’s knowledge of the Bible, sacred tradition, and the lives of the Saints. A pilgrimage is ideal for anyone who holds a leadership position in the Church. By enriching our own faith life, we are better equipped to bring the light of faith to others. Traveling on a Pilgrimage is the best way to help people deepen their faith since they will return home transformed by God’s grace. Pilgrimages are also the perfect opportunity to help those discerning their vocation.
12. Parish Faith & Unity: By organizing a Pilgrimage for your parish, you will be able to help strengthen the faith of your parish community.. We have also consistently seen that those who travel on a Pilgrimage attend Church regularly. There is a special bond formed on a Pilgrimage that allows parish communities to thrive and build lasting relationships.
13. Become an “Ambassador of Peace”: You can gain a more Christ-like understanding of other religions and cultures by traveling to their homeland. Open your mind to new insights into the political, social, and economic situation of each area you’re visiting. Witness how the Catholic Church is truly universal.
