Local NYC tour Guide

 


Start your way downtown to your first church; St. Paul's Chapel. This iconic church is the oldest church in Manhattan.  This church suffered little damage notwithstanding its proximity to the World Trade Center site and served as the heart of the massive rescue and relief effort after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Now home to many artifacts of this event.

Trip Highlights
  • Next visit Trinity Church on Wall Street. This Episcopal parish has been a part of NYC since 1697. Trinity stands as a symbol of spiritual values in the midst of downtown's thriving financial district and residential community.
  • After visiting two of the four churches, you will have lunch on your own at an upscale food court in the heart of NYC; Brookfield Place.
  • On this 45 minute tour of St. Patrick's Cathedral, you will hear the story of New York's great cathedral mirrors, the story of the city itself. This cathedral was built in the democratic spirit, paid not only by the contributions of thousands of poor immigrants but also by the largesse of 103 prominent citizens who pledged $1000 each.
  • The Cathedral of St. John the Divine is our last stop for today's sightseeing tour. This 121,000 square foot church is one of the 4 largest churches in the WORLD. Explore the many highlights of the cathedrals history, artwork, and architecture. Also, enjoy an organ demonstration from one of the most powerful organs in the WORLD.
