Tour of Faith - I am lucky to experience this tour of Faith, and knowledge about the holy life St John Paul and Saint Faustina. The basilica, monestary, chapels are beautiful with its own architectural beauty. I thank God for this wonderful experience. I am thankful that Pawell was our driver and guide. His patience especially in guiding and assisting my friend ( slow to walk) is admirable. He is pleasant to talk to, respectful and my friends enjoy chatting with him. Highly recommend him and this tour. This is what I like about touring…culture, food knowledge and meeting new friends.

Exceeded expectations! - This private tour was everything we had hoped it would be — and so much more! Each place we visited was very interesting and worthwhile. The pace was perfect and relaxed. As much as anything, we enjoyed our conversations along the way with our excellent guide, Pawel. He shared so much about Polish life, and he was genuine and accommodating. Outstanding experience overall. Thank you, Pavel.

Great way to learn of the importance of Pope John Paul II to his native country and the world - The convenience of hotel pick up, comfort and safety in a well appointed van with an English speaking driver/ guide makes the long day of visits stress-free and very enjoyable. The knowledge of and reverence for these holy sites demonstrated by our guide, Jack, was very much appreciated by our family of five. Truly the highlight of our trip to Poland this Christmas season.

Incredibly inspiring and comforting - The driver Adam was good and helpful. We were delighted to hear Mass in the cathedral and join the congregation at 3 pm for the chaplet that was sung- the entire day was spent in prayer, reflection as we got to learn of two saints and the lives they led. Highly recommended.

A Fabulous Day - Krakow Direct, the tour operator, did a great job with logistics on this tour and the tour to Auschwitz-Birkinau the prior day. Our John Paul tour was a private tour. Our tour guide, Paweł, picked us up promptly and proved relaxing very well informed day. Including a stop for one of Poland’s favorite pastries. We enjoyed a very detailed story of how a boy who lost his immediate family, became a great man and later Pope, making this world a ittle better.

Lovely day out. Lots of... - Lovely day out. Lots of information and got to see many of Pope John Paul’s personal memorabilia. Well worth the money and day out. Our driver was called Kamil and he was such a lovely person not rushing us as we visited each stop. Highly recommended this tour if you are a fan of the late pope.
