Inclusions & Reservation Application Sample Day-by-Day Itinerary & Contact Information

March 23, 2012: Depart Detroit, MI- Italy Depart from Detroit, MI for the overnight flights to Rome. Dinner and breakfast will be served on board.

March 24, 2012: Arrive Rome - Assisi Upon arrival your escort will warmly greet you this morning and welcome you to Italy. Transfer to your hotel in Assisi and enjoy a free evening for rest, relaxation, or exploration.

March 25, 2012: Assisi After breakfast visit the tomb of St. Francis. Explore the quaint hilltop birthplace of St Francis that still retains something of the atmosphere of the early 1200s, the period when St Francis be-gan his ministry. Contained within the huge 13th-century Basilica are many of the saint's possessions and a series of frescoes depicting his life. You may kneel before the crucifix from which Jesus spoke to St Francis, asking him to rebuild His church. It was in St Mary of the Angels Basilica where St Francis spent most of his life. Here we visit the Chapel, Portiuncola, the rose bush, and the cave where the saint retired for prayer. Stroll the medieval streets of the compact little town. After stopping at an outdoor cafe with a view of an ancient Roman temple, we go to the Church of St Clare to see the saint's incorrupt body. The foundress of the Order of Poor Clares followed the teachings of St Francis by living a life of poverty and humility. We will visit these two saints' tombs before dinner & retiring for the evening.

March 26, 2012: Assisi - Loreto - Rome After breakfast we depart Assisi to the great Marian shrine of Loreto to visit the Holy House of Nazareth and the beautiful Ma-donna of Loreto. More than 50 popes have made a pilgrimage to the house transported by angels to this hill in central Italy in 1294. Tradition has it that this is the house in which Mary first prayed the Magnificat, in which Jesus grew to manhood, and in which the Holy Family lived. Continue to Rome for overnight.

March 27, 2012: Rome This morning we depart for a sightseeing tour entitled "Christian Rome" which includes: the Basilica of St. Mary Major, one of the oldest shrines dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, a shrine that con-tains a relic from the manger of the infant Jesus; the Holy Stairs, the Basilica of St. John the Lateran, The Basilica of the St John in Lateran, is the former residence of the popes prior to their return to Rome in 1377; St Paul Outside the Walls, which hous-es the remains of St Paul under its main altar; and the Appian Way -- the oldest road from Roman times--plus the famous Domino Quo Vadis Chapel; see the ancient Baths of Caracalla, Arch of Drusus; Tomb of Celilia Metella, and the catacombs of St Callixtus where the early Christians hid themselves to escape persecution. We will also enjoy a visit to the Trevi fountain. Din-ner and overnight.

March 28, 2012: Rome (St. Peter’s Basilica & Vatican Museum) Wake up in Eternal City, one of the greatest centers of Western Civilization and the first truly cosmopolitan city on earth! It is also spiritual capital for all the Catholics around the world. Today is truly a day we will have in our minds for many years to come. This morning we go to Vatican City to visit of the Vatican Muse-ums, a group of most impressive edifices with hundreds of gal-leries filled with art treasures. See awe-inspiring relics and works of art donated throughout centuries as tributes of faith. We'll cov-er The Tapestry Gallery, The Raphael Rooms and the most overwhelming Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo's Masterpiece, re-

stored mural of the Last Judgment. Later, enter the largest church in Christendom St Peter's Basilica, built on the site where St Peter was martyred. Unsurpassed in beauty, a monument to the long history of the Catholic Church, to which pilgrims come from around the world, St Peter's is the grandest of the world's churches. Marvel Pieta and Bernini's amazing bronze canopy. We will also visit the grave of Pope John Paul II located at the Vatican. Before dinner, we'll have some time at leisure, to ex-plore your own paths, to shop, or just to sit in one of the outside cafes and watch the world go by.

March 29, 2012: Rome - Lanciano - San Giovanni Rotondo After breakfast, we leave Rome and head toward the Adriatic coast to Lanciano where we will see the Eucharistic Miracle and celebrate Mass. We then continue through the countryside heading south to Padre Pio’s hometown of San Giovanni Ro-tondo. Dinner and overnight in San Giovanni Rotondo.

March 30, 2012: San Giovanni Rotondo - Monte Sant'Angelo After celebrating Mass at the tomb of Padre Pio, we tour the sanctuary, see the old church and the crucifix from which he received the stigmata in 1918. You will see the confessional where Padre Pio spent innumerable hours with a multitude of pilgrims, directing them on their journey toward God. Enjoy a breathtaking view of the Cargano Peninsula and a visit to the Grotto of Michael the Archangel. Six different popes, St Francis and at least four other saints have knelt in prayer at this grotto, seeking the protection of St Michael. A panoramic view of the ocean and the surrounding countryside awaits you at this most celebrated shrine of early Christianity, a shrine consecrated by St Michael himself in 490. Return to San Giovanni for devotions, reflection, and a restful overnight.

March 31, 2012: San Giovanni Rotondo - Monte Cassino - Rome We leave San Giovanni Rotondo and head west, , stopping at the Abbey of Monte Cassino, a beautiful town founded by St. Benedict in 529. We will then head north through the Roman countryside with its villas and vineyards to end in the Eternal City. Dinner and overnight in Rome.

April 1, 2012: Depart Rome - Detroit, MI Early departure from Rome for return flights back to the US.

resulting from the inability for trip to depart as scheduled, such as cancel-lations due to acts of war and/or terrorism, war, God, or nature takes place, 206 Tours is not liable for restitution. Though every effort will be

made to follow the itinerary, it should be considered as an indication of the tour, rather than a contract of places to be visited. Occasionally local religious holidays, national days, traffic conditions and other events may
