My friend and I have always loved the St Patrick's Cathedral uptown...we were curious about the beginnings of this St Patrick's..it did not disappoint..the stories were fascinating..the tour was wonderful and Tommy was great!
Guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The tour was not what we expected. Teens were bored with all the Irish/Italian immigration history
Arrived at the meeting spot early. I was met with a sign for 'St.Patrick's', remembered the tour description said 'don't go to St.Patrick's', and circled the block looking for another entrance which doesn't exist. No signage to indicate a tour. No representative or desk to ask questions. No response to my call. No refund or reschedule. I went to the NY Public Library instead. The Public Library is open to the public for no cost, has multiple open exhibits, beautiful art and architecture throughout, and has a wonderful cafe and excellent gift shop. The NY Public Library is a must see for anyone visiting New York City. I'll be recommending the catacombs tour to all my worst enemies.
Seeing something unique from Old NY. Learning NYC history. Our guide, Marlene was very helpful, knowledgeable, and fun
The guide was fantastic. Shared so much history of the area, as well as knowledge of the cathedral. La Vacanza Travel tours never disappoint.
