Absolutely recommend! The tour is so interesting and you learn so much about the area and the church. And it’s a beautiful place to visit anyways, the catacombs were just an added bonus. Would do it again!

Our guide was amazing 👏 If you like history you will luv this tour. You'll learn of the struggles of early Catholics in late 18th and early 19th century NYC....the lessons learned are definitely applicable today. You will also discover why this Irish church is in the middle of Little Italy. Included are a tour of the cemetery, church and finally the catacombs. Great for Halloween season.
