The church was definitely not what we expected! It's beautiful! And bigger than we thought from the outside. Our guide, Mike, was very informative and also brought lots of humor and intelligence to this tour. Kudos, Mike! It was a blast! We are recommending this tour to all of our friends and family.
Do it!

Spent 1 hour and 15 minutes listening to the tour guide talk about Catholic history in NYC outside in 95 degree weather with no breaks or water, then spent 10 minutes inside at the actual catacombs that we paid $37 to see, then spent the last 5 minutes being ushered out of the 10 minute catacomb tour so that the tour guide could brag about the excellence of his tour by offering 10% discounts to subpar local Italian cuisine. 0/10 recommend if you actually want to spend most (if not at least HALF) of the time viewing the actual place you paid to see.
Very interesting and...

The tour is called a candlelight tour of the catacombs, but it isn’t that at all. It’s a history lesson of New York Catholicism and the neighborhood surrounding the church. You are an hour into the 90 minute tour before you even go near the catacombs, which aren’t at all as one would expect. They are three straight hallways made of stucco covered straight walls painted beige with the outline of tombstones every 10 feet or so. Oh, and the candles (which aren’t candles, rather plastic battery powered lights) are entirely unnecessary as sunlight streams through the catacombs. Don’t waste your time or money, unless what you’re looking for is an uninspiring church tour and catholic history lesson.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
