Very interesting - Unique experience, not recommended for those with claustrophobia. Contact with the miners, listening to their life stories, becoming aware of their working conditions has a significant emotional impact. Much more impactful than watching a documentary. The tunnels are tight and sometimes we have to move crouched or sitting.
