We hired a whole guided tour with Christopher and his team. We went to Auschwitz, Cracow and Juan Pablo II museum. Every visit was very informative and complete, especially the sightseeing in Cracow and the visit to the hometown of Juan Pablo II. Christopher was an excellent guide very knowledgeable and helpful with logistics. In Cracow Katsia managed excellent Spanish and has a lot of historical info. Highly recommendable.

It was my last day in Krakow and, being that I am a Catholic, I felt I had to know more of the life story and legacy of JP2. Christopher gave me this opportunity, he arranged for me to visit the Sanctuary and view a few of his relics. I also learned more about the mystic Saint Faustyna and the Divine Mercy Shrine, a special place of pilgrimage for Catholics all over the world. The tour was most appreciated, and renewed my faith. Thank you Christopher!

Excellent company to work with for a tour. I was able to arrange a tour for my father completely by email before our trip. Working with Christopher was a pleasure, he patiently answered all my questions and worked through all the details diligently.
When it came to the tour the guide, also Christopher, was excellent and my father couldn't speak highly enough of his knowledge of the places visited. It was an amazing experience for him to take this tour. I recommend this company without reservation.

This was a customized, virtual tour of the Divine Mercy and John Paul II shrines in the Krakow suburbs. Christopher arranged it perfectly from Krakow to two separate flats in Manhattan. The Hollywood-worthy video and audio was spectacular. My friend and her husband have a special devotion to Sister Faustina and Divine Mercy. They were thrilled to see sites familiar from photographs in a live video feed. It was also very special to have Christopher prepared and available to answer their questions.
For COVID-deprived travelers, the virtual tour was a blessing.

My wife, our son (age 14), and I went on the private John Paul II tour with Christopher. Simply put, it was an amazing experience! So much to soak in, to appreciate, to reflect upon. But we were only able to truly immerse ourselves in the day because we had Christopher as our guide.
To have no worries about how to get places, where to park, which doors to enter, etc., meant that we could fully engage in the purpose of our trip -- to walk in the footsteps of St. John Paul II and St. Faustina.
Beyond taking care of all the day's details, Christopher also provided a warmth that made our tour all the more enjoyable. His knowledge of the subject matter, as well as of Polish history and geography, provided great context for our journey. Best of all, he's just incredibly likeable!
We will always remember this special day and recommend the tour 100%!
