Guided Tours
Are available for groups of 5-15 people.

Our current volunteers are retired miners who have lived the life and therefore have many stories and anecdotes to make the experience much more rewarding.
Guided tours must be booked in advance (48 hours notice required) and are subject to the availability of our volunteers.
