Fantastic tour! So much history and the guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. Easy instructions and love the details with an informative video while waiting for the tour to begin. The tour is not just the catacombs, but the entire church grounds and information shared was fascinating! Well worth quick trip to the tour before our matinee show.

A stunning church with so much history because it has been a staple within the community for so long. Our guide was excellent, she was humorous and so knowledgeable. The Catacombs, church and graveyard were all explained and explored aswell as some of the residents. Highly recommend for anyone interested in the history of NYC and love architecture.

Although I don’t recall her actual name, I think it might have been Marlene, but I know it started with an M. She was fantastic a wealth of information very sharp, and it was an extremely historically enlightening time. Thank you so much.
