Fun for tourists, interesting facts...can be smelly
4 Star Rating: Recommended

So what the people who rated the tour with low stars said is actually true...it seems like a bunch of smelly basements, not so much physical history. However, if you are into looking at really old stuff and hearing about the past, it is cool. The tour guides make the tour because they recreate the past as you walk through the passages by telling stories, usually funny. I feel like the tour should be priced in the $7-10 range though...Oh, and don't plan on using a cell phone or talking to your friends while the guide talks. They are SUPER proactive about that and they'll stop everything to tell you to knock it off. We had 'public cell phone talking guy' on our tour and I was so nervous about getting stuck by him but it turned out to not matter. They shut him up after the second time of asking him to stop. One last thing...we got the mini burgers as a snack before the tour. I would definitely skip the food at that place. The burgers honestly tasted like plastic. Save your appetite for some of the cooler places that are right around there.

Pros: Makes you laugh, interesting and fun, cool gift shop

Cons: Food not so good, you need to have a great imagination (not necessarily a con...)
