    Grab a drink (or two) at the bar beforehand. It'll bring out the historian in you!

    Pretty fun if you get a good guide! Try the "Underground" & "Underworld" tours.

    Try to get Jim as your tour guide, he is engaging, funny and knowledgable. He does have a MFA in acting, so you won't be disappointed in the tour.

    The guides have NO good judgment on tourists. If you are carrying a video camera, even if it is meant to take pictures only... they will be on you... won’t return!

    Buy a beer at the cafe, and get seated for the pre-tour spiel before everyone else.

    Probably better to take the kids during the day. Evening tours are like a party.

    My friend and I were excited to go on this tour. We were let down. I think we just got the wrong guide. The tour itself could have been cool, but our guide tried too hard to be funny

    Bit meh to be honest. Pipes, dust and some facts. Although I was tired with a screaming child next to me so maybe I was a bit distracted, who knows.

    I was really looking forward to this tour but was greatly disappointed. Didn't see anything interesting and didn't learn anything I couldn't have read for free and in a lot less time.

    Awful! We did the underworld tour and it was the worse tour experience I ever had. You could not follow the guide and jokes were terrible. Absolute waste of money. Would not even give it one star.

    'Preferred seating' is a total rip-off. The tour is great, though, but stumbling around under the streets on broken slabs of dirty concrete is not for kids.

    Super interesting information but I'm not going to lie, a lot of it felt like we were looking at old, run down basements that people were trying to pass off as historic.
