Great tour - Excellent tour. Firing an M60 is a real must do experience. Tunnels are very low and tight in some places, but we'll worth going into. Tour guide was very informative and knowledgable. We took the VIP tour and would highly recommended it.

Fantastic experience with great tour guide! - Alex was a fantastic tour guide! Incredibly knowledgeable and had a real passion for explaining the history to everyone. He made everyone feel comfortable and his jokes definitely made the tour better! Anyone interested in seeing the tunnels along with in-depth history knowledge should book here!
