$37 per ticket is a rip off… There’s nothing interesting to see, just a small cemetery and the basement of the church. The “catacombs” have been painted in white so you can’t even appreciate the original walls or anything. Don’t waste your time and money!

This was a really informative tour with some brilliant commmentary on the history of the basilica. The catacombs is quite eerie and we have never seen anything like it. Good trip, great guide and well worth a visit.

Great tour guide (Leo) who gave some really interesting tidbits of information. Would recommend this tour to people interested in New York’s early immigrant experience and how the Catholic Church shaped that.
