5.00A wonderful visit to important JP II sites AND to sites related to Saint Faustina. Our driver, Maciej Szymniak, was both a competent driver and a knowledgeable guide. What was particularly appreciated was that Maciej understood the religious significance of the sites. A wonderful and deeply moving experience.
