Traveler reviews
Leila S
★★★★★2 months agoReally enjoyed the tour. Our guide Louis was really knowledgeable and friendly. We took children aged 5 and 8, I was a little apprehensive about a 90 minute tour but they loved the tunnels so all was well. If you aren't a fan of tight spaces, you don't have to walk through. I would only say that I wish I'd read up on the Greek and Roman involvement before the tour, only because the acoustics in the quarried spaces make it difficult to catch all the information given by the tour guide.

★★★★★a year agoAbsolutely worth every second of the tour. Interesting experience, with the “skip-the-line” tickets: really recommended as a date idea or for a day-time activity when there is severe heat in the summertime!
