    We’ve signed up for English tour but the tour itself was bilingual. She had to explain things 2x and didn’t time it right. I felt rushed during the highlight of the tour, seeing Black Madonna. We literally had less than 15 minutes before the mass started! I also expected 30-35 people. I think there were about 100 people. I really feel like I could’ve done more if I was on my own….

  • Wonderful experience

    The place is beautiful and inspiring. A holy place in the mountains. The faith it took the people to create this space 1000 years ago is impressive to say the least. Join the millions of pilgrims who have come here over the years.
