The city has the high-est museum density in the world and we will get a glimpse of the many cultural highlights: Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House, Rembrandt House and the Rijksmuseum with Rembrandt’s world-famous Nightwatch. Another highlight will be our visit to the "Begijnhof" and its chapel where the eucharistic miracle of 1345 is commemorated.

In 1641, a trader on three nights, heard a voice telling him “Build a sanctuary in my honor here.”. Simultaneously, his wife had an apparition, and recalled an intinerant soldier selling a picture of the Madonna. The soldier was found and the picture was bought.

inability for trip to depart as scheduled, such as cancellations 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 necessitate changes in the sequence of visits or the missing of certain visits. We will have daily mass and strive to be in places as

indicated. However, sometimes this is not possible as the site may not be available for Mass or itinerary changes are forced upon us. In this case an alternative site for Mass will be arranged.
