Absolutely loved it

I booked this tour solely for the trip to monastery at Czestochowa, and I was not disappointed. In addition to the chapel with the "Black Madonna", there were three very interesting and moving museums. Then on the way back to Krakow, we stopped at an amazingly well preserved castle with an interesting decorative arts museum. What a great day!

After Auschwitz, this was a very uplifting experience.

This is an unhurried day away from the city. The Black Madonna has put Czestochowa on the map, which is a blessing for the tourist trade which would have been lost without it! It's a significant icon for Catholics, so it draws Poles as well as tourists. The treasury is worth a look too. I also enjoyed the return journey through the attractive countryside and Pieskowa Skala Castle. The castle also had a museum with good displays of furniture and art, some real treasures.

We got to Czestochowa early and since we were in a mini bus there were no a lot of us, seven in all, and we were very lucky because we went around the altar to see the Black Madonna and there was no queuing. It got very busy later, but we would not have missed it. I was told it was busier because of the Marian month of May. I think people going to Pieskowa Castle should be told about the long climb up to the castle. We had a good guide who was very knowledgeable for both of the trips.

Fascinating. Our guide was wonderful and we were able to attend a mass at the church, which was quite moving. The drive was also beautiful.
