Harrison was Terrific!! - We took the Hidden Caverns Tour with Harrison on June 7th, with 7 of our family members... Harrison was terrific and so informative. He had the perfect blend of interesting history and fun banter. He didn't rush anyone and made sure we were all safe and comfortable in the underground beer tunnels. I would highly recommend Harrison for future tours.

Excellent experience - Our guide Harrison was great. He know so much history of the area. I lived here for 3 years and never heard all that history. He made everyone feel comfortable and entertained. We will definitely recommend this tour. The beer tasting part was not exactly what I expected but it was still a great experience.
