1.Black Madonna of Częstochowa & Home of John Paul II

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 97 reviews · 10 hours · from $106Our pick

10-hour small-group pilgrimage from Krakow to Wadowice and Jasna Góra, seeing John Paul II sites and the Black Madonna shrine.

“The guide was excellent very knowledgeable about everything both at the sites and journey to them . Seeing both in one day via a tour guide was do much easier than trying to do it yourself as they were about 2hrs drive apart. I think if we tried it ourselves we would have missed so much information that this particular guide gave us .”

3.Czestochowa the Black Madonna Day Tour from Krakow

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 64 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $152

Early pickup from Krakow to Czestochowa’s Jasna Góra, see the Black Madonna, plus Pieskowa Skala castle for a long-but-meaningful day.

“For anyone interested in pilgrimage sites, this is a must do. To see this incredible painting and see the beauty of the chapels, it's breathtaking. My guide recommended the covering of the painting at noon only occurs during winter and I'm so thankful he did! I thought it would be a cloth over it, but there were drums and a plaque lowered over it. FYI Pieskowa Skala Castle is closed on weekdays in the winter season, but it was still beautiful to see the national park from the outside. My guide was absolutely delightful and so informative about the area and history of the painting. I highly recommend this tour…”

Kamil was very knowledgeable and as there only 2 of us, the pace was pretty good which was great for my elderly mother. Worth the day trip to this pilgrimage place”

He also took to us to Center of Pope John Paul II Pontificate as a side trip. Also gave recommendation on where to eat traditional Polish food and we had a…”

Private Czestochowa trip from Kraków to Jasna Góra, Black Madonna Chapel, guided Pauline Monastery visit with hotel pickup.

“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…”
