Very enjoyable 2 hours mostly spent way underground in a cold damp tunnel is not a sentence I would use a lot! But it's true our group of 8 met at the office and were taken on a walk to tunnel entrance which lasted about 30 mins and were shown places of interest around Ouseburn . Then hard hats on and torches in hand we descended into tunnel. Quite claustrophobic so be warned and at one point we all turned torches off and it was PITCH BLACK. Excellent guides Phil and Dee explained about its construction and role on WW2 and kept us entertained. Well worth money and just a reminder to go to loo before you start tour cos there's no where to go once down

Booked a one hour tour of the Victorian Tunnels. Wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, but I did guess that it would be dark, narrow and slightly claustrophobic. The volunteer guide went by the name of Pete and what a fun guy he was. In truth I wasn’t expecting a lot of the tour because, well it’s a tunnel. The tour felt like it only lasted 5 minutes because Pete gave such a great narrative of the history of the tunnels and the many stories great stories to tell about things that happened in the tunnels throughout it’s life. The stories and history warns't just confined to the tunnels who. There stuff about life for the people of Newcastle during the times of the tunnels. The coal miners, the people who worked o the tunnels and the less affluent times. Best of all, the lights went out in the tunnels as part of the tour and it made me really appreciate just what a wonderful modern we live in outside of the tunnels.
