Czestochowa - Jasna Góra-klooster, privétour vanuit Krakau

This was the second tour we booked with Poland Active and it lived up to our expectations too :) our driver Robert picked us up on time and his taxi was comfortable. He showed us the way to Jasna Góra Monastery and linked us up with the private guide. He was patient and waited for us to finish visiting the monastery before driving us to a lunch place that he recommended with great pierogi!

Our driver was right on time to pick us up at our hotel and the drive to Częstochowa went well. However, once we arrived our guide was not there to meet us. We later learned that she had not been informed that she had a tour with us. We ended up exploring a bit on our own (which was fine) and our driver tried to explain a few things, but since his English wasn't too good, communication was difficult. Once we met up with our guide, she was terrific. She based what she showed us on what we had already seen and did a wonderful job. She was very informative and had a great wealth of information. The site itself is very much worth visiting and the Black Madonna was just beautiful. There are many buildings on the premises: a stunning treasury, a museum and a large church adjoining the small church where the Black Madonna is.

This was a very good tour. Our driver, Chris, picked us up on time and gave a very comfortable ride to Częstochowa. He walked us into the monastery grounds & brought our private guide out to us. He told us to take as long as we needed & was waiting for us when we got done. Thank you, Chris! The tour was very beautiful and moving, especially since we are Catholics of Polish descent. However, I think that everyone can enjoy and appreciate the beauty of the church and its architecture. Our private guide, Martin, was amazing. He knew and shared so much history about Poland and Jasna Gora. And he let us take as much time as needed to see and experience everything. I would definitely recommend this tour.
