What visitors say
Really interesting and the staff are lovely and very informative. There was just five of us on our tour. It's around 40 mins we done it in the morning then went The Metropolitan Cathedral ( Paddy's Wig Wam) and then onto The Anglican Cathedral for coffee and cake. Perfect day had by all.

Well worth an hour of your time. A crazy place under the city & whilst our guide was full of facts and pieces of information, my brain is still racing with questions.
