A really interesting couple of hours, which passed quickly, with 3 excellent volunteer guides. Would recommend.

A very interesting place to visit. Both guides Pete and Jen were full of knowledge and made the whole experience well worth the money

The guides Gerard and Phil made the Victoria Tunnel such a fun and highly informative experience. Such an interesting and important part of local history and there were plenty of anecdotes to keep everyone amused throughout. Would highly recommend.

We did the hour tour and it was fascinating. The tunnel is over 170 years old and in very good condition. The first part of the tour focused on World war 2 and the second part on the Victorian era including the building of the tunnel. Both guides were very knowledgeable and I would be keen to go back for the 2 hour tour.

Booked a one hour tour of the Victorian Tunnels. Wasnt exactly sure what to expect, but I did guess that it would be dark, narrow and slightly claustrophobic. The volunteer guide went by the name of Pete and what a fun guy he was. In truth I wasnt expecting a lot of the tour because, well its a tunnel. The tour felt like it only lasted 5 minutes because Pete gave such a great narrative of the history of the tunnels and the many stories great stories to tell about things that happened in the tunnels throughout its life. The stories and history warns't just confined to the tunnels who. There stuff about life for the people of Newcastle during the times of the tunnels. The coal miners, the people who worked o the tunnels and the less affluent times.Best of all, the lights went out in the tunnels as part of the tour and it made me really appreciate just what a wonderful modern we live in outside of the tunnels.
