I am lucky to experience this tour of Faith, and knowledge about the holy life St John Paul and Saint Faustina. The basilica, monestary, chapels are beautiful with its own architectural beauty. I thank God for this wonderful experience.
I am thankful that Pawell was our driver and guide. His patience especially in guiding and assisting my friend ( slow to walk) is admirable. He is pleasant to talk to, respectful and my friends enjoy chatting with him. Highly recommend him and this tour.
This is what I like about touring…culture, food knowledge and meeting new friends.
