expected something different. The tour guide was well informed and packaged it nicely. However, the tour consisted only of a walk through a cemetery/ graveyard and a “cellar compartment”. The catacombs were only three corridors in size. Candlelight is a bad joke because the candles were made of plastic. I could still stand all this if I hadn't just paid $35 for it. I feel scammed.

Very informative tour of the history of St. Patrick Old Cathedral and its catacombs. Dan was a fantastic tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and great at answering questions. Awesome sense of humor and energy! I was able to tell that everyone in the tour was very engaged. My friends and I truly enjoyed the whole touring experience--despite being locals.

Neat tour of the catacombs of the St. Patrick old cathedral. Fun experience and very respectful towards the church. Mike was our guide, he was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I loved learning the history of the cathedral.
