Deep dive into history of New York that is not visible… every headstone and non marked land plot, and then stepping into the depth of history - from 1802 to today, all mixed up with today and with the movies we watch - I have not noticed where an hour and a half went…

Mom and I loved the tour. It gave us a deeper understanding of the church. Mike, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and made the whole experience worthwhile!

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
