Krakow: Pope John Paul II Guided Tour with Home & Sanctuary

1.Pope John Paul II Guided Tour with Home & Sanctuary

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 104 reviews · 6 hours · from $93Our pick

Travel from Krakow to Wadowice, where an audio guide leads you through Karol Wojtyła’s family home. Then visit the John Paul II Center and Divine Mercy Sanctuary. English-speaking drivers such as Mariusz, Arthur, Kamil, and Daniel may add useful local context, but the museum visit itself is self-guided.

“As a Catholic, visiting St.John Paul II’s house and parish was something very special. The tour also included a visit to his memorial. Visit to the Divine Mercy sanctuary was good. Though the tour says that there is a visit to Sister Faustina’s tomb in a chapel, that did not happen. However, there was a visit to her convent and a replica of her room, which was good. The tour guide was friendly”

“This was a great tour for us as a Catholic family. We happened to be at all of these sites on the day that Pope Francis died, so we saw the mourning banners go up as we were there. While our tour guide provided a mostly secular perspective on these sites, we were given ample time to explore on our own. Make sure to try the cream cakes in JPII's home town, which he loved as a child!”
