Of all the tours we booked this was the one I was most excited for. It did not deliver. Although our guide tried his best to make it eerie, it was really just a bunch of rooms - not underground- and not showing much of anything. We were very disappointed. Would not recommend.

This was a great opportunity to explore the underground vaults. James was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He made it a good trip. There is some walking, but nothing overly burdensome.

Our tour guide was Dom. He told us fun facts and cool history of the area. We laughed, we shrieked, we had a GREAT time! Loved it and would highly recommend!! We went into areas you wouldn't know existed... areas right under your feet!

Fun spooky walk with neat stories. Louisa was entertaining and very pleasant. Good use of an hour at the end of the day.
