“I don't have enough words to thank Adam from Pavel Travel. An absolute gentleman, who looked after my elderly mother and myself, on a very emotional pilgrimage to the Madonna of Czestochowa. A seamless trip from our hotel, where he rang to say he was outside waiting for us. We were then driven in an ultra clean vehicle, taken to the ticket office, where he arranged a wonderful guide. A truly memorable day. Thank you so much Adam! 5*****”

“Kamil my driver and guide was excellent. Only one problem is that i was told pick up time was between 8am and 9am which is ridiculous as i sat and waited for over one hour for him. Also he did not come to the hotel and i was met in the street, which did not sit well with me. He also did not have any form of indentification on him which made me, as a single elder woman, very nervous but once we got over those hurdles he was fantastic. May i suggest a better form of communication and meeting place to be the lobby of the hotel so that…”

Visit Czestochowa’s Black Madonna and Krakow’s Divine Mercy Sanctuary on an 8-hour private-style pilgrimage tour with hotel pickup.

“Well thought out tour! The second stop at the Łagiewniki Sanctuary is a wonderful addition. Tomasz is very professional, personable and definitely a great driver. He knows the area very well and is able to answer most questions about Krakow and most of the nearby attractions. Also, this is the only tour company I found that doesn’t require multiples of 2 travelers!!! So if you are a solo traveler, you are paying a single price, not double. I had a great time and I would highly recommend his services. Thank you Tomasz!”

Visit Częstochowa’s Black Madonna from Kraków on a private, guide-led day trip with hotel pickup, air-conditioned transport, and flexible attention.

“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…”
