St Patrick's Cathedral Officiële rondleiding achter de schermen
Beschrijving
Stap voorbij de fluwelen touwen voor een intieme VIP-ervaring met kleine groepen in St. Patrick's Cathedral. Onder leiding van een Expert docent verken je zelden geziene ruimtes boven en onder het heiligdom die verborgen verhalen en schatten onthullen die weinig bezoekers tegenkomen. Begin bij een privé ingang, ga door de sacristie en daal onder het altaar af naar de heilige crypte, laatste rustplaats van vroegere aartsbisschoppen. Hoor fascinerende inzichten in de geschiedenis, het kunstenaarschap en de spirituele erfenis van de kathedraal. Beklim de grote marmeren trap om bij het hoofdaltaar te staan, genietend van bevoorrechte toegang en unieke uitkijkpunten voor gedenkwaardige foto's en rustige momenten van reflectie, alleen aangeboden aan deze selecte groep gasten. Bewonder de stijgende glas-in-loodramen, de kolossale Piëta en de immense bronzen deuren die met één hand te bedienen zijn. Leer over de 21 altaren, 19 klokken en opmerkelijke figuren – van Babe Ruth tot Andy Warhol – wiens gedenktekens deel uitmaken van het blijvende verhaal van deze bezienswaardigheid.

Great tour, tour guide very knowledgeable. She had a great manner and knew her stuff. However, very expensive for only one hour! I thought Mass was supposed to come after, but no Mass?

St. Patrick’s Cathedral has such an incredible history, and we’re glad the experience reflected that. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the tour length and pricing.

We apologize for any misunderstanding and appreciate you sharing your comments.
While the tour does cover the history of St Patrick’s in a manner that would probably interest Catholics and non-Catholics alike, a lot of the tour focused on minutia of Catholicism that might leave non-Catholics a little confused.

To be able to walk through the cathedral to places where most have never been, was amazing. To see the cornerstone of where our New York City faith is based out of, this amazing church, was an amazing experience.

Our tour guide was actively involved with st patricks church working on her credentials. Very knowledgeable about the church history and current day activities. Included info about the vision, the architects, and the builders from past to present. No discussion about religion was included.
The tour guide was not the usual guide per her information. The 2hr tour started 20 min late and lasted 70 min. I think there were more stories to be shared about the Cathedral but we did not receive them. Disappointed.
This was an awesome experience!!! Tour guide was awesome!!! So knowledgeable!!!!!!!We went behind the scenes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We took the 2pm VIP tour on Wednesday Dec. 17, 2025. The cathedral historian was very friendly, enthusiastic, and interesting to talk to and gave us fascinating details and stories about the cathedral. I wanted to see Pierre Toussant’s grave, which we missed seeing at the Old St. Patrick’s Basilica before it was moved. Our historian pointed out features related to Archbishop Terence Cardinal Cooke after I showed her a photo of Cardinal Cooke and me at my Catholic dorm’s dedication at Columbia. She gave us interesting background on the move of Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s grave to Illinois from St. Patrick’s. Our guide made the tour even more special and I recommend it as it informs on so much of what you are seeing, how it got there or why it’s no longer there, and why it’s noteworthy.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that our guide’s enthusiasm and knowledge made your tour of the cathedral so memorable. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her — she’ll be delighted! We’d love to welcome you on another tour soon for more amazing experiences.
Good overview of the Cathedral. Went during December, so saw some Christmas related displays. Worth it.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable, her enthusiasm of sharing her knowledge of the cathedral was contagious. She was absolutely amazing and I would recommend this tour anybody as long as she was the tour guide.

We learned so much on the behind the scenes tour with our guide, Sophia! Sophia shared a wealth of information from history of contruction, lesser known stories, and architectural details. We loved getting to see areas of the cathedral that are restricted to regular visitors. Getting to stand on the high altar was worth it alone! Sophia answered all questions with so much knowledge and energy. Highly recommend for anyone interested in learning the history of the cathedral and seeing the architectural beauty up close.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Sophia made your behind-the-scenes tour so memorable and informative. It’s great that you enjoyed the exclusive areas and the high altar, and that her knowledge and energy made the experience even more special. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another amazing tour soon!
