This was an amazing tour and my guide Kamil was outstanding. Although it was a long drive to get there, the scenery along the way was quite nice. Kamil was very knowledgeable about the history and sites in Poland. We had nice conversations on the ride there and back. The site, itself, was well worth the long drive.

One of the most important centers of Catholic worship in Poland, the famous icon of the Black Madonna and Child is preserved inside. Definitely worth a visit.

My friend and I booked a private tour to Czestochowa and to the Ogrodzieniec castle. Mariusz made the tours so informative due to his extensive knowledge. His English was very good and his knowledge even greater. We loved doing a private tour. Seeing the Black Madonna exceeded my expectations. It was beautiful! Only thing about the castle, if is difficult walking if you have a disability. Wouldn't recommend it for disabilities.
