Ron was extremely informative about the history of the church, and the Irish immigrants came into that area. It was fascinating going into the catacombs. A delightful experience.

We really enjoyed our tour of the old St Patrick’s church and the tour of the graveyard and catacombs beneath. Our guide was excellent! He answered all of our questions and it was obvious he loved the church

This was a tour of the original St. Peter’s cathedral which I would have never known existed if we didn’t do this tour! It was so interesting! I loved that it was organized and started right on time too! Highly recommend!

While the tour was not a bad one, buyer must beware. This is a bait and switch tour - we thought, and the tour is advertised, as the “Catacombs of St Patrick’s,” but it is not the St Patrick’s on 5th. It is a different old, run down chapel called St Patrick’s. It is not nearly as grand as we expected it to be, nor was it worth the price.

We really enjoyed the tour, the guide was very knowledgeable and well spoken. We lived in NY and had never done this tour before and I am so glad we did now.

The catacombs were very underwhelming and sparce. Some of the history was interesting. The large size of the group didn't help.
