The tour was well organised, and informative. The mines themselves are breathtaking. We did get a message saying wrap up warm however it was very warm down there. The layers weren't needed, just a pain having to carrying coats etc

Everything was very good. The guide's name was Adam and he was very nice and the transportation service, although it was a van and not a bus, was fine. There was no problem, and everything was as indicated in the itinerary. I would repeat with them, no doubt.
