Catacombs are very cool themselves, but overall, this is a great little historical tour. You’ll learn a bit about the Irish and Italian immigrations to NY, a bit about Catholicism and a bit about the area around St. Patrick’s and the settlement of New York City. I’m originally from NY, but wound up learning quite a bit. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional and had a good sense of humor. Great tour.

Must do when in NYC! I loved our guide Dan who was knowledgeable and funny. I left the tour feeling smarter and curious to learn more. I loved the whole experience and the fact that Chrissy called me to make sure I wasn’t lost was above and beyond customer service. The catacombs are awesome to explore and Dan was there to provide history all along the way- the depth of knowledge he has amazes me. Thank you for having this Los Angeles couple feel welcomed and for teaching us valuable history!
