5.00Excellent Day Trip and fantastic guide. After visiting the Tunnels I’m so glad we decided on a guided tour. We learnt so much and Tim our guide was amazing. Really informative and helpful. We took a speed boat to the Tunnels instead of the bus and so glad we did! A bus would have been 2 hours longer so it’s worth the extra cost going by boat.
Good fun and very interesting
