We were blown away by bthe shear scale of the workings and the spaces created underground. Also marvelled at the engineering. Astonishing to think this was all done with hand tools until the 20th century.

The group was large - a combination of two groups and the guide could not be heard most of the time. Would have been better off with an audio guide.

The information regarding pickups to the venue was confusing and frustrating. I booked a hotel pickup but the information stated hotel pickups were only possible from selected hotels and that I had to make my way to a meeting point. It should list the applicable hotels. It took quite a while to confirm my pickup via phone call (no answer), chatbot (kicked out), email.

Our guide was very informative and amusing. Paid attention to the needs of the group and allowed time to observe and appreciate the mine experience.
