Kamil was just excellent. Very well informed, polite and most helpful.
We'd definitely recommend him or look him up if we were to come back to Krakow. Keep up the great work Kamil !

We had a most excellent guide in Mariusz, a truly wonderful young man. Comfortable, friendly and most knowledgeable and informative.
Picked up on time at our hotel in the morning and nothing was rushed or missed along the way

In the 7 days we spent in Krakow, my wife and I dedicated one day to the story of our dearest Pope John Paul II from his birth to his becoming a man and it was truly very emotional to retrace what is happening to him who is now a Saint.
Thank you Pope Wojtyla for giving us the fortune of being able to experience you.

Our tour guide Greg did a wonderful job showing my wife and i all we needed to see and know about Sts Faustina and JP2 which was the main reason for visiting Krakow. Also had a pleasant time with Greg over lunch and merienda getting introduced to the pope's cake after the museum tour at wadowice. Thanks.

Disappointed. This was not a guided tour this was a driver who took you from site to site. It was an English tour we paid for and the driver used google translate. No tour at the sites as we expected. Not worth the money. Very disappointed

Seeing where Pope John Paul 2nd grew up, said Mass as a priest, Cardinal & even Pope was beautiful. The recognition the city have for him is truly wonderful

Our tour started when Wojtek picked me up at the hotel. Our first stop was the John Paul II Sanctuary in Krakow as the Divine Mercy Chapel a few miles away was having cleaning done at the time. We returned there later as Wojtek and I were flexible.
The Sanctuary had some of John Paul's vestments as bishop, archbishop of Krakow, and then as Pope. It had the vestment he wore the day he was shot at the Vatican with blood stains still on it. Other portraits and taped speeches of the Pontiff were very interesting.
The next stop was Wadowice, the boyhood home of John Paul II. I had free time to enter the the boyhood church of Karol Wojtyla next to his birthplace.
Next stop was the John Paul II museum, which is the building where young Wojtyla grew up. Museum touches on every aspect on his life from the small apartment where he grew up to the Pope's final days on earth.
The museum was put together by some of the finest architects in Europe as our guide informed us. Some of the visual presentations and effects were incredible. For example, one presentation shows a crowd scene in Poland and it superimposes your image on it as you walk by. Quite impressive,
After this, we headed back to Krakow to view the Divine Mercy Chapel and Saint Faustina's convent. The chapel had the Divine Mercy vision of Faustina flanked by John Paul II's portrait and Our Lady of Czestochowa. In the convent, Sister Faustina'a room is displayed so visitors can see.
After this, my driver, Wojtek, dropped me off at the airport to catch my flight back to the states.This tour with Wojtek's help and patience was the perfect way to end my trip in Poland. My highest praise for my driver as well as Cracow Top Tours
For me, this was the best tour I took in Krakow as everything was flexible and I really wanted to see John Paul's museum and hometown.
One thing with this tour or a tour similar. I tried for a couple of days to get on this type of tour as it is not offered very often or for less than 4 or 10 people. I booked this on TripAdvisor on another day and was told it was pending until they got back to me and said they, unfortunately had to cancel. Luckily I did make this trip on my last day in Poland.
One other thing I would note. I am a devout Catholic and an admirer of John Paul. I
enjoyed every minute of the tour. If you are not religious but are curious about the man, this tour gives a wealth of insight of Poland, Europe, Catholicism, and of twenty first century history. Again, awesome job...
