Totally unique Fascinating place. Guides are so knowledgeable and passionate about the tunnels. Nothing else like it I wouldn’t think. This spot is free to visit. They welcome donations so give generously. Totally unique. We will return to so the other tour.

A Must for any Dr Who fans Really interesting visit, the volunteers do a fabulous job and are really friendly and informative. Fascinating visit so my questions as to the whats and whys. Some interesting theory's put forward. A must see for any Doctor Who Fan, albeit Peter ( our Guide ) was really disappointed that they didn't use the tunnels as the main set . Thanks for looking after us.

Amazing Place 5 of us went for the tour with Friends of Williamson's Tunnels for the first time. Lynn was our guide and her knowledge was amazing. Lynn and the rest of the team are doing so much work to keep restoring these wonderful tunnels. We all became members and will return again. They are very lucky that some firms donate building supplies to help them carry on with their restoration as they do not get any funding. Thank you Lynn for the couple of hours that we spent with you.

Fantastic experience I initially visited the tunnels several years ago and was completely blown away by the experience. Having friends visiting from America seemed like a perfect reason for a return visit and we were not disappointed. We were made to feel so welcome despite me adding 2 extra to our group at the last minute and Peter was an absolute wealth of knowledge. The work that the team has carried out is incredible and the results are ama,ing to view.

Lovely little find. All the volunteers were really pleasant and had a great sense of humour. Our guide Mike was really interesting and informative and was fantastic with our young children. The tour itself was unbelievable and it was great to learn about the good work the charity does and make a donation to the cause!! We'll definitely be recommending and visiting again.
