This was truly an amazing experience! Leo was incredibly knowledgeable and fun and did a wonderful job teaching the history of the Cathedral and catacombs. An absolute must do!

Give Mike all your tips 💃 great fun
Oct 2022 • Couples
We had a great time doing the catacombs tour last week, our tour guide was Mike, he kept it really light and fun while being interesting. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting new York for something a little different, it's a bit spooky but fine for kids the candles are a great touch, we loved it and would definitely go again.

Ps. We found out for Mike, Bishop John Hughes was from a town called Augher (pronounced awher) just up the road from us in Tyrone

Thanks
Amy

Perfect for middle schoolers, too!
Aug 2022
My kids (ages 9 and 11) LOVED it! When we booked, I had no idea what to expect. But it was truly amazing! Our guide was very knowledgeable and was more than happy to explain things further to help littler minds understand. Seeing the catacombs was a surreal experience. While it wasn't like the ones photographed in history books (Paris and Rome for instance) it was still a really neat experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for something unique to fill your time.

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.
