Great experience - Great experience, first pizza is delicious! Come early and have a slice or pie! Tour is super spooky! Dark, low ceilings under ground with lots of shady dark history and gruesome stories. Great night will be had. Super easy to Uber to and from and have a great night

No ghost sighting but great fun - Holding the tasting in the tunnels was very cool & atmospheric. Natasha was a great guide too, very fun. I have to admit as we were touring around dinnertime I was thinking we'd go elsewhere but the wonderful smells as we entered Old Town Pizza & Brew dold me on dinner there!

Great Way to Spend an Evening - Natasha is a fun tour guide ! It’s interesting to hear how the tunnels had been used - both the honest and dishonest ways. The resident ghost did not appear for us but I am sure she will this autumn. The beers were terrific and Old Town Pizza is delicious (food is at your expense and optional). We stayed because OTP has a good vibe and the bartender, Evan (I apologize if his name isn’t Evan), was friendly and fun. My friends and I highly recommend it !

Tunnel exploration with beer - A good time exploring the tunnels. Cool to learn about the history.Watch your head and the uneven terrain. The guide was great. Beer tasting was a plus. Free pint after. Well worth it!

Great location and fun... - Great location and fun tour guide. Just felt the tour content could have been better. We've done similar tours in Seattle, New Orleans and Savannah, which were excellent. This tour has the same potential.

Finally know what “Getting Shanghai’d” means! - It seemed to be authentic! The ambience and decor of the pizza parlor helped bring the story to life and put you in the times gone by before the tour started. Our guide didn’t try to hype or oversell the tour which let us all have our own takeaways. Also enjoyed learning the history of the city and the tunnels.

Tunnels! - Natasha was a fun guide and we had a great time. It’s nice and creepy down there. This does not seem accessible but I’d call to confirm that to be sure they don’t have accommodations but it’s old tunnels so stairs and holes in the dirt floor. Not too much walking. It was actually a bit warm down there and it was a cool night (about 60 something). I would have loved a few more ghost or creepy stories but the history was interesting and obviously ghost stories need a bit of “this person heard or felt or saw this in this place” or they’re not as fun. Free beer sample at the end and we were able to grab a can for “free” of their beer or even cider or non alcoholic beverage. We did the 8pm which is 21+ but some of the afternoon ones are open to everyone.

Over priced for what you get. - What you get is a tour of the basement of the building along with quite a few stories about the tunnels that were in existence, but you don’t really go into any tunnels per se. The pizza and the beer we’re good if you’re so inclined to eat there after the tour.
