Our guide had a degree in history and he had more facts than you could possibly imagine! Extremely informative about the history of NYC, not just the Cathedral.

We really enjoyed this tour. Leo, our guide, shared the history of the St. Patrick’s (and its place in NYC society) and the surrounding area. There were plenty of interesting stories about the graveyard and catacombs.

Beautiful burial grounds surrounded by the hustle and bustle of NYC. Did not know of the ‘other’ St. Patricks til I saw this tour. Guide very knowledgeable and accommodating. Would highly recommend.
