Brilliant experience 10/10 Be prepared for a long time travelling to and from the tourist attraction in the bus (at least 2 hours each way) They supply plenty of cold water whilst travelling there and back luckily They also stop on the way there for a short rest break and factory visit where you can buy great quality products Make sure to eat before you go Not suitable for very young children or people with mobility problems Wear comfortable shoes and take a pair of slip ons The tour of the tunnels was incredible Our guide Leon was very knowledgeable There is a place to buy souvenirs Well worth the journey
