Leo was our tour guide. He was engaging, informative and made the tour feel abundant. The tour itself is small but the scope of history is enormous and Leo was able to encapsulate the gravity in a succinct manner. I wish all tours and guides were this wonderful! Definitely worth it.

This turned out to be one of the highlights of our week in New York. Our guide, Dan, was interesting and engaging. Very knowledgeable, with great delivery and humor. He made the history relevant to today. Even my 19-21 year olds were totally into it! Great tour!!!!

Out guide Mike was phenomenal and the history is fascinating. A must see for those interested in the history of how the Catholic church came to be. It was a perfect tour.
