Jimmy Boyle was very interesting and knowledgeable. Did not know the catacombs even existed. The tour was just long enough.

Just got back from a fun, informative and fascinating tour of the catacombs. Not what we thought! This is not a hokey ghost tour. It was an authentic retelling of the history of New York and the cathedral. We particularly appreciated the real stories of the people who used the church and all of their challenges. The catacombs are peaceful and a beautiful tribute to those who rest below the church. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and shared some personal experiences. Thank you so much!

Not really that interesting , expensive for what it was, went on a bit and try to get you to purchase souvenirs from the desk at the end, felt very awkward.

We enjoyed hearing the excellent history of NYC and Catholicism in particular in NYC, and the actual church is beautiful: however, the Catacombs are fairly unimpressive. Tour guide was very much above average for a tour, so it was really enjoyable.

The tour had us take a step into the past and to see where the future is going. It’s gratifying to see the preservation efforts and the respect paid to this wonderful historic site.

I'm a native New Yorker, born in Brooklyn, raised in Queens, and I never knew what a little gem was sitting all along in Little Italy. The docents were very engaging with a mixture of "fun facts" and sometimes painful histories. Sincerely recommend this tour as an option for a midday excursion, and then a stroll in the neighborhood for a nice meal.

History of the church and the significance of the priest to the parish and community. Tour guide Marlene was excellent. Her knowledge was amazing and delivery of information was in an easy to understand manner. She engaged participants in the story.

Really interesting visit to St Patrick’s Old Cathedral . Learnt about not only the church and its history, but also the neighbourhood it stands in both past and present.

This tour was a last minute decision that we’re so happy we made. Not only did we learn about St. Patrick’s, but also about the history of the neighborhood. It was filled with highlight after highlight and surprising facts and details. A Hollywood connection? Religious conflict in the US? The docent was truly well versed and informative. The catacombs were simply “icing on the cake” during this excellent tour!

This was a really cool tour. Tommy was really knowledgeable, there is so much interesting history in NYC and getting to see the catacombs was really neat.

It was fine- will I remember it in a couple years no. Some of it was good but the catacombs were underwhelming. Rather than a talk about who was in certain ones- it was wander on your own. The most amazing thing about it was seeing how young these folks were when they passed.

Guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The tour was not what we expected. Teens were bored with all the Irish/Italian immigration history
