Our tour guide was great! Loved learning about the history of the cemetery, basilica and catacombs. So much that I didn’t know about the history of New York City.

The tour provides you with an in-depth understanding of New York history and the role the Roman Catholic Church played in its early days.

Small history of a small but important chuch. Stories about famous families and their graves. The early days of Manhattan and the times of Irish and Italian immigrants.

Fantastic experience! Mike our tour guide was great, he was very knowledgable but also kept the information easy to absorb, funny and plenty of great facts that I have been repeating to every friend that will listen! I have lived in NY for years and decided to do this when my mum visited from the UK, highly recommend - we both really enjoyed it and it was fascinating to see the catacombs!

I was in NYC for Halloween weekend and this just seemed like a cool add on. I am glad we decided to take the tour. Dan was our guide and was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Lots of history in the area. I should note, as well, that we had a conflict on our original booking and the customer service team was spot on helping us change our date and time with no issues.
