Very informative tour but it’s misleading. Not what I’d call catacombs more like a underground vault.

This was an incredible experience. Although this was not 100% what I was expecting, the experience was amazing just the same! Tommy was our tour guide and he is a wealth of knowledge about the cathedral and the area. His personality is delightful! I highly recommend you take the time to do this tour, you won’t regret it!

We were delighted by this tour! Dan, our guide arrived on the dot at 3:30pm, started his energetic and informative introductions, and immediately captured all of our attention. His eloquent speech and humorous storytelling kept pouring out, and we were just blown away by his knowledge and charisma! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that, every second of this 1.5 hour tour was filled with excitement and stimulation, as well as deep and fun learning! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to exercise both their body and brain, and enjoy the best time imaginable in a beautiful church in lower Manhattan! Thank you again for this extraordinary experience!!! Shelly and her dad
