Catacombs Tour - Very Informative and Fantastic Guide

Published on Jan, 2025

We thoroughly enjoyed the Catacombs by Candlelight tour in January 2025. Lee was our guide, and he was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a great deal about the church, neighborhood history, and catacombs. Lee was very attentive to the group and kept us moving while providing a wealth of information. We highly recommend.

Great tour, highly recommend

Lee - Tour Guide

Published on Jan, 2025

Lee was such a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. He was personable, and shared extra history and stories of the surrounding area.. This was an incredible opportunity to gain insightful knowledge about the first of NYC’s churches, and the community of poor immigrants who built it as a refuge for their families and faith. I left feeling educated and inspired. Everyone should request Lee as their tour guide. My only critique is it could have been longer I enjoyed it so much!

Fascinating tour!
