Customer Reviews
Absolutely loved the Miners’ Route! Our guide was very kind and friendly and I enjoyed every second down in the mine! We had such fun activities there! The tour lasted about 2 hours❤️
The tourist route is crowded and fast. Too many folks fot the guide, and too many groups. There is some beautiful stuff, but overcrowded.
Visiting from the UK. We tried buying our 9 tickets online originally, and it seemed to go through but then later received a notification that the payment was rejected. We called and they send it would probably work if we tried in person. We went to the ticket stall at the mine, using a different card from someone else in our group. The woman at the ticket stall was on the phone for ages now serving anyone. When we finally got to the front we paid for our tickets and it seemed to have gone through again. It then got declined again, same as when we tried buying them online with the other card. The woman asked if she could see the card. She then proceeds to pull out a massive pair of scissors and says she is going to cut the card in half. The owner of the card was very distressed, as this is his only card he has with him. He then asked to see the manager and demanded his card back, however there was no manager available. In the end we were unable to visit the mines and wasted time coming here, all due to shocking customer service.
