Traveler reviews
Wonderful!
Anthony gave my wife and me the tour of St. Patrick's Cathedral. He did a marvelous job explaining the history and construction of building. Really liked seeing the crypt and other out of the way rooms. I highly recommend the tour.
The guide was very...
The guide was very knowledgeable and informative about the history of grand central station. The tour was better with a guide than just looking around on your own. The guide was also very friendly and even called to make sure we were coming due to few wrong turns! Loved it!
Good
Great tour, tour guide very knowledgeable. She had a great manner and knew her stuff. However, very expensive for only one hour! I thought Mass was supposed to come after, but no Mass?
Behind the Scenes Tour of St. Patrick’s
While the tour does cover the history of St Patrick’s in a manner that would probably interest Catholics and non-Catholics alike, a lot of the tour focused on minutia of Catholicism that might leave non-Catholics a little confused.
Our tour guide (Mr. Tamontana) was amazing . His words, knowledge and faith were all so inspiring.
To be able to walk through the cathedral to places where most have never been, was amazing. To see the cornerstone of where our New York City faith is based out of, this amazing church, was an amazing experience.
