“This trip follows the life of Pope John Paul II, from his humble beginnings in Wadowice to his devotion to the Blessed Mother and also to people of the world. A great example of someone who lived a difficult life and didn’t let that stop him. A beautiful trip. Our guide was very patient with us, allowing us time to wander and even took us to a bakery to try John Paul’s favorite - cream cake, which really is very good. At Częstochowa, we had a personal tour with a monk that lived at the monastery, an interesting man who took time to sit down with us and explain some…”

“Well thought out tour! The second stop at the Łagiewniki Sanctuary is a wonderful addition. Tomasz is very professional, personable and definitely a great driver. He knows the area very well and is able to answer most questions about Krakow and most of the nearby attractions. Also, this is the only tour company I found that doesn’t require multiples of 2 travelers!!! So if you are a solo traveler, you are paying a single price, not double. I had a great time and I would highly recommend his services. Thank you Tomasz!”

“Our driver was right on time to pick us up at our hotel and the drive to Częstochowa went well. However, once we arrived our guide was not there to meet us. We later learned that she had not been informed that she had a tour with us. We ended up exploring a bit on our own (which was fine) and our driver tried to explain a few things, but since his English wasn't too good, communication was difficult. Once we met up with our guide, she was terrific. She based what she showed us on what we had already seen and did a wonderful job. She was very informative…”
