Jeremy Fredricks:

"Came on a Saturday in July at 3 PM and the gates were locked. Not sure if there was another entrance, but there was no signage or indication that it would be closed. On the other hand, it was a nice, quiet walk with plenty to see from the entrance to the catacombs."

"I went with my significant other to the night walk tour and it was a wonderful walk and very informative. Another beautiful thing was it was so dark you could actually see the stars in the sky and living in new york that rare. I would gladly take the tour again."

"Great experience to know a little of the history in area. Little battery operated lights walking through under church hall. Got to see a peek of a wedding upstairs very beautiful church."

"Really fun and cool catacombs to see. Fun art inside that feels organic and chaotic with elements of decay and horror. The lighting really affects the experience and a passing cloud can turn the catacombs well lit or dark and creepy. Very cool (temperature) inside because it's underground. Good destination after spending a few hours exploring the graveyard"
