A fun two hours at night - Shannon Was a great guide just enough theatrical flare without it being too much. The whole company was very professional. Their Sound system really helped. You be able to hear everything And unlike a lot of other tours, I've been on there we weren't any glitches.

Excellent Halloween tour - The tour was very interesting, we learned a lot of things about the city that are not usual, in a very nice Halloween atmosphere. Our guide Marie was excellent and funny, very talented for storytelling and setting the mood. We really liked the vaults in their authentic aspect.

Halloween tour, very good but could have been scarier!! - Tour led by Aniella on Halloween. It was very good, great stories, interesting facts about life in the city vaults. Great sized group, not too large. Wish it could have been more scarier, although Aniella did try her hardest. Very entertaining.
