What a beautiful tribute to St. John Paul II! - This tour was the spiritual highlight of our week in Poland. "Ziggy", our driver and guide was very patient whenever we wanted to spend a little extra time in each of the churches so we never felt rushed. The tour itself is wonderful and felt like a pilgrimage to the sites that meant so much to St. John Paul II, and our visit to St. Faustina's tomb within the Chapel of the Miraculous Image was special. The St. John Paul II Museum in Wadowice is an absolute must-see!

A day with Pope John Paul 11 - The whole tour was wonderful. I learned a lot from it regarding Pope John Paul 11. His home and town are magnificent. It was wonderful that we had this as a private tour. You feel really close with everything.

Fulfilling a Dream - Michael, our guide/driver arrived on time. He was polite and his command of English was good. He drove us to two churches which were the closest to Saint John Paul II. We also saw the home he grew up in and his museum. Michael allowed us to attend the Sunday mass for which we we’re really grateful. He gave us enough time to browse around and some informative brochures. The visit to the church of Saint Faustina/Divine Mercy was the highlight of our day. This tour allowed us fulfillment of one of our cherished dreams! I only wished, the guide was more informative and accompanied us instead of just dropping us off at the sites. Nonetheless, I still would recommend this tour to my friends and family
