Culturally and Historical lessons
This was a great minimal walking tour. You will learn about cemeteries, graveyards, churches, cathedrals and basilicas.

Really enjoyable
So, this little tour was a bit different than expected. The catacombs themselves aren't that big/extensive. But the tour itself was really good, the guide was excellent at keeping it interesting whilst also still sharing information, insights and history.

Fun and informative
Jun 2022
We found this tour by accident and decided to give it a try, and had a fantastic time! We took a tour with Ronnie, who was very knowledgeable about both the church and the catacombs. We learned about the history of both this church and St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Ave, as well as Five Points and the history of the Irish immigrants. We went at a leisurely pace so no one was left behind, and Ronnie used a combination of humor and patience to keep everyone entertained.

We loved learning the history and historical significance of the church and those interred there. The church is breathtaking and we even got to hear an organist practicing!

Unexpected gem of a tour in Lower Manhattan
Apr 2022
Who would have thought a tour of a small cathedral and it's catacombs in NYC would be so fascinating? Tommy our tour guide provided us with a wealth of information about the history of the old St. Patrick's Cathedral (the one in Little Italy, not on 5th Ave.) and it's ties to the late 1800's uprising in this area (think Gangs of NY). If you are visiting this area, I highly recommend this tour with Tommy.

The tour was great! About 1.5 hours with lots of info with not a whole lot of walking. Leo was our guide and was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made the experience and enjoyable and recommended Lombardis which had amazing pizza!

Learned a lot!
Mike was our tour guide. He was very educational, we learned a lot about the neighborhood, the history of the church and some of the more interesting/ influential priests. The inside of the church was beautiful, we got to see both sides of the graveyard too. The the catacombs were really interesting - the new niches for cremations as well as the old vaults. I would definitely recommend this tour
