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

disappointing - 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..

The History of St Patrick's Cathedral - 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.

St Patrick’s Cathedral - Carole and I want to thank you again for the outstanding tour this morning of St Patrick’s Cathedral. We enjoyed it immensely. It was the “behind the scenes” tour that we were expecting. Dave R
