          Highly Recommend
          Highly recommend! Jacob was an amazing host who was very knowledgable about ours trips. We did Auschwitz and Zakopane tour. We got picked up and dropped off at our hotel and Jacob even provided us with snacks on our trips which was a really nice gesture. No waiting on coaches or on other people it is simply just you and the driver which makes it much more personal. Jacob sorted everything out for us so there was no queuing as all tickets were already sorted and we missed all the long waiting times which meant more time to see things. Would definitely use again if we ever return to Krakow. Thankyou again!

          Highly recommended
          This was an excellent overall experience. For me as a practising Catholic it was very meaningful, but it can expand anyone's horizons. Jacob is the best guide I've ever had, sweet and accommodating, allowing time for prayer and reflection, and showing all that is relevant.

          Epic Tour!!!!
          Jacob is a fantastic guide and we really enjoyed spending the day with him. The transport was comfortable and the visit to Auschwitz and the Salt Mine completely met our expectations. I would certainly recommend Jacob to anyone, the whole day was a highlight to our trip.

          Great trip!
          Great trip! I think it’s a must-do tour when You’re in Krakow and You’re devoted catholic. That tour made my day, I was able to focus on sights and prayers with no rush. Just us, no other participants!

          You must do this your if you’re visiting JP2’s hometown and Divine Mercy
          It was a lovely JP2 and Devine Mercy tour, made even better by a knowledgeable and accommodating guide, Jacob. He was patient, attentive and knew his stuff well. He very considerately prepared packed lunches for my wife and I. Highly recommended!

          Unforgettable experience
          Jacob was very well organized, had everything planned but was still very flexible when circumstances changed. Changes were very much to our advantage & he was a calm & considerate presence throughout the day. Also, he was a very cautious driver which we greatly appreciated. I enjoyed every minute of that day & will remember my time at Chapel of Divine Mercy for the rest of my life💕☺️.

          Must do in Krakow
          Picked up on time from our hotel. The tour was excellent and Jacob was prompt at each stop along the way. Snacks were provided as well which was a pleasant surprise. We also did the Salt Mine tour in the same so I highly recommend booking them together.

          excellent day trip
          We were picked up at our hotel and taken to Auschwitz and Birkenau. Everything was organized perfectly and worked really well. Jacob took excellent care of us, had water and snacks for us in the car, drove very safely, got tickets etc. and also explained all sorts of things during the drive. Thanks!

          Outstanding Customer Service
          We were collected from our hotel reception by Jakub who from start to finish made us feel so important. A great organised seamless trip and makes us want to return to Krakow for more.

          Discover Pope John Paul II: Complete Private Tour, Krakow
          Excellent Tour and Guide My husband and I were looking for a private tour that was flexible, tailored to our requests and had Catholic insight. Our guide, Jacob (Jakob) Szymański, was a humble fellow with beautiful Catholic insight who shared the “heartbeat” of Poland and its people with us. He demonstrated terrific customer service: responsive, punctual, courteous, kind and approachable. His smile, passion and knowledge created a relaxing and memorable day for us.We enjoyed the Tour: Pope JPII immensely. We are ever thankful to Jakub. The opportunity to expand this tour to include other sites was a gift. Whether you are looking for a historical/secular tour or one that includes a Catholic experience, we highly recommend this tour and Jakub or his colleagues. Colleen and James Broomfield

          Fantastic service and day out
          Had a great day with Jacob, he was very informative and easy going and made an extra effort as it was my girlfriends birthday to provide a surprise for us. Well worth the money and would highly recommend!!

          Very sobering - interesting - and necessary to do.
          We left the city at 8.30am and took the English tour - back for around 16.00. Jacob of Visitus looked after us and provided breakfast bags too :) So much horrible history to take in. I wouldn't recommend this for under 14 year olds which I think is the going age recommendation.

          Wonderful and looked after....THE BEST!
          Jacob of Visitus really looked after us on both airport transfers and tours to Auschwitz and the Salt Mine. So polite and punctual - breakfast bags on the tor days too.... Auschwitz tour was 8.30am-4pm ish with traffic and Salt Mine was 8.45am-noon. I really recommend you use Jacob when visiting Krakow. His prices I found very reasonable too and he sorted all of the entrance tickets so there was no waiting in queues.

          Not to be missed
          Jakub was the perfect person to organise our trip to Auschwitz. He picked us up at our hotel and drove us the 60km there. For the entire journey there and back I asked him questions about Polish history past and present. He was so interesting to talk to and I learnt so much from him. It’s quite an emotional tour but he made our tour smooth sailing and was there to meet us at the end. I was pleased to see his friendly face at the end and a warm car too. Would thoroughly recommend.

        De abdij is vrij toegankelijk en men is vriendelijk in het ontvangst. De catering is qua smaak en prijs prima doch logistiek een ramp. Van de andere kant is dit de heerlijke simpelheid die het hele klooster uitstraalt.
