The town is known for the famous Paulist Monastery and Jasna Gora that is the home of the miraculous Black Madonna painting, a shrine of the Saint Mary.

Seeing the Black Madonna was awe inspiring. My sister was cured of a long standing illness while in prayer in front of the Black Madonna. The tour of the museums and grounds was amazing. The Doyenne and our tour guide were delightful, professional and wonderful in every way.

Mark was our driver and he was friendly,personable and knowledgeable. He helped with answering our many questions regarding Polands people, culture and history over the 2+ hour drive.
The tour guide at the cathedral was very informative and kind. She helped us find the priest to get our purchases blessed by the priest.
Our opportunity to be right next to the Madonna as she was being revealed was unbelievable! We were with the priest just a few feet from the portrait. It did however, feel awkward to bypass hundreds of other individuals who were there for the viewing but did not have the same opportunity to be up at the altar. If you want to actually see the Madonna be sure to book the tour with the Madonna viewing option

It was great. We were the only ones; another company would have cancelled the trip, but Viator didn't. Our guide was great, allowed us enough time for everything and even gave us lunch. I have taken previous trips with Viator and wouldn't consider any other company

I have to say without a doubt this company is excellent but special word of thanks goes to Thomas & especially Simon. We booked various tours Aushwitz, John paul 2 & also the memorial museum tour. Both our drivers were both curtious. Nothing was any bother did everything to help. Cant fault the 2 guys in any way. All our tours were special to us and can only say a big thanks to the guys. The final tour which was the Black Madonna was exceptional. I think both guys should get the recognition they deserve.

The Basilica is simply beautiful. We were in attendance when the Blck Madonna was revealed. She takes a break between 12-1:30 so if you arrive then you will not see the painting. The treasury is filled with gifts including one from the late President JFK (his ring). Museum is filled will artifacts. Do take a tour with a Pauline Monk who can provide with the history. Only drawback is that if you are coming from Krakow, it’s an hour and a half drive both ways for a 70 minute tour.
