Traveler reviews
We had a wonderful...
We had a wonderful experience on the Black Madonna tour to Jasna Góra. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative, and we learned so much about the history and significance of this special place. Our driver was also very kind and patient throughout the trip. What I especially appreciated was that we never felt rushed. We had plenty of time to see everything we wanted to see, explore at our own pace, and really take in the experience. Everything was well organized and relaxed, which made the day even more enjoyable and meaningful. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Poland who wants to experience Jasna Góra and the Black Madonna.
Trip to Jasna Gora
The guided tour in Jasna Gora monastery was interesting thanks to Father Roman acting as the guide. The tour operator was prompt, car was comfortable and driving professional
Tour was worth twice the price! Inspirational!
Seeing the Black Madonna was awe inspiring. My sister was cured of a long standing illness while in prayer in front of the Black Madonna. The tour of the museums and grounds was amazing. The Doyenne and our tour guide were delightful, professional and wonderful in every way.
Great adventure to see Black Madonna
Mark was our driver and he was friendly,personable and knowledgeable. He helped with answering our many questions regarding Polands people, culture and history over the 2+ hour drive. The tour guide at the cathedral was very informative and kind. She helped us find the priest to get our purchases blessed by the priest. Our opportunity to be right next to the Madonna as she was being revealed was unbelievable! We were with the priest just a few feet from the portrait. It did however, feel awkward to bypass hundreds of other individuals who were there for the viewing but did not have the same opportunity to be up at the altar. If you want to actually see the Madonna be sure to book the tour with the Madonna viewing option
Great Service
It was great. We were the only ones; another company would have cancelled the trip, but Viator didn't. Our guide was great, allowed us enough time for everything and even gave us lunch. I have taken previous trips with Viator and wouldn't consider any other company
