What To Expect

St. Patrick's Cathedral

The cathedral developed this Christmas audio tour from script to final production edits. It’s an ever evolving labor of love to communicate as much as we can about St. Patrick’s Cathedral to those who wish to learn. We hope this tour will entertain and educate our millions of returning visitors from around the globe. During the months St. Patrick’s Cathedral was closed, we had the opportunity to overhaul and upgrade the entire audio tour. We added hundreds of new images and audio segments. The tour is offered in English, Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

The church was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The audio tour was very informative. Beautiful cathedral! The organist was practicing while we were there, loved hearing the organ!

Walking into the most beautiful church in the world. I loved each altar and it meant so much to listen to the audio of each altar. Loved every moment saying special prayers.

We have visited the Cathedral many times but to hear Cardinal Dolan and others explaining the different aspects of the Cathedral was powerful especially as a Catholic. However, non Catholics would enjoy the history and explanations of the various Saints.
