This tour was very interesting and well worth the time and money , Our tour guide Leo was extremely good at his job he was engaging and took questions very easily . Most importantly he kept things interesting in this 90 minute tour and never bored anyone by just droning on as some guides do when they are tired of their jobs! He seems genuinely interested in the subject and that’s so important in a guide . I would highly recommend this tour ! Thanks Leo

This was a very cool tour to do in NYC. We try to do something like this in every. Ity we visit and this was a favorite. Tommy is so knowledgeable and it's great having someone who grew up in the area to tell you all about it. The church and its history are absolutely beautiful. The catacombs are an experience. Just to see the years and to hear about their history. Highly recommend.

What a fantastic tour! I am a born and bred NYer and did not know most of the history that was shared with this tour. It was incredible all around, educational and truly enjoyable.
