This was a very comprehensive and memorable tour of the most important churches and shrines where Pope John Paul II had been during his life, including his family house which is now a museum where his most important events. The most beautiful churches that we visited were Wadowice Basilica and Passion-Marian Sanctuary in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska.
My tour guide was Jakub who is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot about St. John Paul IIs life from him.
This tour is highly recommended to all catholics.

Jacob was an incredibly kind, communicative, informative, and patient tour guide! He picked us up right in front of our hotel and provided us snacks and water immediately. Jacob gave us a tour at each of the sanctuaries and arranged for us to be able to attend Mass and say the divine mercy chaplet which we greatly appreciated! Each site was intentional and Jacob was extremely considerate in giving us time to stop at the shops at the sites along the way and provide bathroom breaks. Overall I was extremely happy with this tour for my mother and I and Jacob did a phenomenal job making this day special for us in Poland!

All of it was very soul touching and peaceful. Seeing the sanctuary that helped form St. Pope John Paul's religious life and learning how the place stayed with him through the course of his service as a priest and Pope was enlightening. Also, praying the Divine Mercy prayer at St. Faustina's chapel was profound. It was nice seeing priests and nuns going about their day even in public areas. The places combined gives one a sense the area is a Holy place, especially knowing God raised two special Saints from this region.
