Experience history

The tour was amazing. Walking through the halls of such a beautiful historic monument, you experience the lives of those who wandered the halls 200 years ago and the few that remain there in their resting place. Dan the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the cathedral and was very fun and energetic! A must do if your in NY.

One Great History Lesson!

I absolutely loved this tour. The tour guide - Dan - was so knowledgeable about the catholic religion as well as the history in that area of Manhattan. I think what I loved the most is the history of the church and how when it burned down, all the paperwork was lost and now it is really not known (besides the grave markers) who is buried in the cemetery and the catacombs.

This tour was great and had lots of history pre catacombs. Dan is a gifted storyteller and he made sure everyone felt at home. We are not catholic but the history was still really interesting and NYC focused. The way Dan was able to weave in current events and pop culture references was GENIUS. ❤️❤️

Really amazing experience! The tour was super informative, but never felt like a lecture—interesting, insightful, and hilarious commentary! Plus, the space itself is just gorgeous. Would highly recommend, esp. as a COVID-era activity.
