Outstanding Pope John Paul II Tour - We had an outstanding tour and learned all about the life of Pope John Paul II! It was remarkable getting to visit his home and other important places in his life. Milosz was a superb driver and guide, and we highly recommend him.

JP2 deep dive tour in rain - Łukasz (Luke) was very kind, respectful, and professional. I didn’t realize that I booked a private tour but I felt totally comfortable with him as a single woman. I mixed up the directions when meeting him in the morning at pick up and he was very patient. The day could have started off on a bad note but he took everything in stride. I never felt rushed; I was able to be present and enjoy each place we visited. He went out of his way to make sure that I saw everything I wanted to see. I would definitely book a tour with him again- next trip!

Wonderful Wadowice! - What a beautiful tour! My awesome guide, Victor, was so friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. All throughout the route, he offered interesting details about key spots along the way as well as history behind the landmarks with a focus on Pope John Paul. He generously took pics of me in front of key landmarks and added interesting commentary about Krakow lifestyle. The tour is a great mix of experiencing key landmarks like the Pope’s museum and churches and enjoying the beautiful surrounding parks and surroundings. A big plus is the beautiful art and religious artifacts. I would definitely recommend the tour. And book Victor if you can! He is the perfect tour guide!

Wonderful experience with Legendary Krakow - My parents and myself have just returned from a week stay in Krakow. We booked a couple of tours with Legendary Krakow - Zakopane and the Tatra mountains; Auschwitz & Birkenau; and then they accommodated us to combine the Salt Mine tour and the Wadowice & Kalwaria John Paul 11 route. Matt accompanied us on the Zakpane and the Wadowice and Salt Mine tours. He was wonderful and was extremely informative throughout both tours. On the Wadowice tour, I was sick and Matt was very considerate, and bought me a bottle of water!
Matt then helped us to book the transfer from Krakow to the airport, and we were even allowed to leave our luggage at their offices for a couple of hours, before going to the airport.
We would definitely recommend to family and friends.
