    This tour consistently impresses visitors with its authentic guides who are actual former miners, bringing real passion and firsthand knowledge to the experience. Marty, Lee, and Fast Freddy get frequent mentions for their perfect blend of humor and education, making the underground portion genuinely engaging. They don't just talk about mining history—they fire up the vintage equipment for live demonstrations, which visitors find incredibly cool and memorable. The experience includes both the mine tour and a trolley ride through Wallace that adds historical context to the area. Expect to get cold and damp down in the mine, so bring a jacket and wear pants regardless of the weather outside. The equipment demonstrations are loud but brief, and most people manage fine by just covering their ears. There are steep steps to reach the mine entrance, which could be challenging for anyone with mobility concerns. Book your tickets ahead of time since showing up without a reservation is risky. Families love it, repeat visitors return years later to share it with others, and the little souvenir at the end is a nice touch.

    Our miner and tour guide in the mine named Marty was awesome!! He was informative and very funny! You can really tell he loves what he has done his whole life and wants to share his knowledge so people can understand how important mining has been and continues to be. It's extremely hard work and I have a new respect for the profession. The trolley ride and history tour of the area was equally fun and informative. Overall great experience and highly recommend. The kids really enjoyed it too! You are even given a little souvenir when you leave.
