Tour was a little bit rushed but there is a lot of things to see! Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. Visit in Czestochowa is really uplifting experience after Auschwitz.

Excellent tour! If you're Catholic this is the must but I'm pretty sure that anyone would like it because both the Monastery in Czestochowa and St. Mary Sanctuary in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska are an amazing monuments! Perfectly organized trip, even transfer was very nice!

Unfortunately we went to Czestochowa on Sunday and it wasn?t good idea. Church was extremely crowded and we had to wait in a long queue to see Black Madonna. Thankfully our guide was very knowledgeable so waiting wasn't so boring. If you provide such great guides for every tour I would recommend you to anyone! We really enjoyed Wadowice, it's very peaceful and relaxing place
