Historic and beautiful sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of this big city! We stopped in one night, it was quiet and good for our souls. I was surprised how few people bother to step inside. It's well worth a visit.

Fabulous and I formative. Special Shout out to tour guide Ginny!!! THE BEST. Direct access to Alter, special mass area below church and the catacombs too

Theresa_L

The alter, all of the craftsmanship and the crypt. I feel a deeper connection to the building and what it stands for.

I did this tour with a family I was touring with. They thought, or at least they said to me, that it was wonderful. As a knowledgeable New Yorker I thought the tour was disappointing..I already had a lot of info myself and was expecting so much more ..He was a man..don't remember his name ..said he's been doing it for years...really..well I think he could up his anti and give more to his clients..very disappointing..

Good 'behind the alter'. Guide was friendly, informative and also a parishioner. We saw sacristy, cript and got insider s explainations for the various side alters.

What a wonderful experience...to have a guide with the knowledge and passion made the tour worth it. The history of the building and the original planners and movers of this beautiful cathedral was thoroughly detailed and quite informative. The tour guide was amazing. My wife and I really enjoyed the day and it made the trip to New York complete.

The tour was great. Randall clearly knows the cathedral well and loves it. He had a lot of great information, he answered a lot of questions, and he just generally made the tour a great experience.

My tour guide did not show up. Fortunately one of the staff of the cathedral was willing to show us around
