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.

Very disorganized, tour ran about 15 minutes behind schedule and no one seemed to know how to help us get started but once we started it was very informative.
