"Fantastic 10 Tunnel Tour! We arrived the night before and stayed in the motel. Could not fault it, from the very friendly and helpful staff to the clean and comfortable room. The next day we joined the tour. From the moment we got on the bus, to returning to the motel we had an amazing day! Our guide was very knowledgeable and made us all feel welcome. The home baking was delicious. The scenery, tunnels and experience was amazing. Would recommend it to young and old."
