Tunnels tour - The tunnels are incredible....scary how you could get lost so easily and that people actually worked and lived in them.

A breathtaking and exciting adventure! - The presenter was well informed, a great speaker, very professional and an excellent actor. The costumes, antiques, set dressing, sound effects and layout of the rooms in the underground tunnels was nothing less than remarkable. There were four of us in my family who took the tour and it was well worth the cost. We all enjoyed it immensely. Great experience for all ages. We will all be going again to take in the other tours most definitely. Super educational experience. Our outlook on this part of history is now changed forever and for the better. We are grateful for all the time and energy that has been put into this amazing and unforgettable experience. Thank you.

The Tunnel Moose Jaw - The tour was great, the guide was great. It was informative and varied, it's a shame we couldn't take any photos. Unfortunately, there are no tickets with the tour included for sale.

Great Historical Lesson - We had the opportunity to take in the tour about what happened to Chinese immigrants in Moose Jaw. We thoroughly enjoyed the presentation as the guide was very informative and spoke very clearly and answered questions that the group had regarding the tour. We left knowing more about our past history.

A must do in Moose Jaw. - We had a great time on our tour. It was very informative and tour guide was very knowledgeable. We would've loved to do the others but didn't have time.

A Black Mark on Canada’s History - Very informative. While the tour guide was well rehearsed and clearly knew her subject matter, she was too stiff and not animated. It made the overall experience a bit awkward. However, we did enjoy her knowledge of the script and we all enjoyed learning something new.

Enjoyable and educational - Fascinating tour well hosted by Brock. My 9 yr old found the tunnels a bit creepy but held it together! I never enjoy the bits where the host pretends you're suddenly characters in their story but these were minimal. Sound for the opening video was very poor - unclear to the point of incomprehensibility - but overall an enjoyable and educational experience.

A bit disappointing. We enjoyed the other tours more. - We were a bit disappointed with this tour. The information was good but it felt like the tour guide was VERY rushed. He would go from room to room, talking as he went, and anyone near the back heard nothing. We had a kid in a wheelchair in our group and the tour guide didn't wait for the child and the lady pushing the chair and I'm sure they got nothing out of the tour. That made it not so fun. The tour guide also spoke in this voice, trying to invoke sympathy, but it came across kind of ...I don't know...fake? The information itself is enough to make people aware of how horrible it was for the Chinese immigrants. The history was excellent, as were the sets. Maybe we just came on a bad day?
