What visitors say
My partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed the tour! We found it really fascinating. We loved exploring the tunnel and hearing the facts and stories that surround it. Mick & Rosie were amazing! Welcoming from the start, really friendly and funny. Mick’s impersonations of people from the past were particularly funny. I would definitely recommend a visit!

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip down the tunnels. If you like history and something a bit different this is definitely for you. The two guides were helpful and informative and made it a very entertaining trip. I would definitely recommend this tour it is so worth while. We did the 2 hour tour and I'd say it's the one to go for.

Excellent tour & my second time visiting! This time I took my Granda (aged 88 for context) & he thoroughly enjoyed the experience and managed the tour well. Pete (the guide) was equally knowledgeable and enthusiastic keeping the tour both interesting & lighthearted. 100% recommended

Excellent your. We are locals and didn’t know any of the information and stories that they tell you. Our guide was Pete and was really good, informative and funny. The guides are volunteers and really deserve a round of applause 👏🏻👏🏻. Did the short tour today but will be back to do the longer tour soon. Well done.
