Dan was the best tour guide! He was enthusiastic, and he knows all of the history of Catholicism in the area. I was raised Catholic and have family in NYC, and I never knew about the history of The Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. I didn’t know it had Basilica status, but I know now thanks to Dan! The history is so interesting especially what we learned about Pierre Toussaint! This is a must do tour!

Loved hearing the history of the church. Our guide was very knowledgeable. The online review said a maximum of 15 persons only would be attending, there were 21 of us so it was a little difficult to distance from each other. Also was disappointed that we did not get to see the chapel because the wedding was going on.
