What visitors say
Great visit today and probably 50 years since the last time as a school boy. Very interesting display, lots of data and models. Great guide with Jackson who was very knowledgeable. Pleasantly surprised that there was around 8 people on the tour which was a good sized group for the space. Highlight was seeing that the remaining part of the East Gate was visible, but sadly the only part of any of the city gates.

Definitely worth a visit, only 15 on each tour so you have to book in advance. One section, if you want to do it, involves crawling on all fours, nice video explaination. Whole tour is about 50 mins, and sonewhere to wash your hands afterwards.

I absolutely loved this tour, being a history nut it was fascinating to hear and see the story of how clean water was brought yo the city of Exeter. The tour takes you through some fairly narrow tunnels but all but one (which is optional) are walkable. The low, optional one meant I had to get on all fours, but not my knees to pass through. I would go again in a heartbeat.

We absolutely loved our visit to the underground passages. Our guide, Katie, was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable about the passages and enthusiastically answered my son’s many many questions. The experience far surpassed our expectations. Highly recommend!
