Its an amazing tour to see and understand about mining in the early 1800s. The guide is very knowledgeable and the tour is very interesting. We went 61m underground and walked through the area. Best thing is that they encouraged everyone yo take as many photos as we want and post them! Absolutely worth it!
Jeremy, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable with a hint of humour. For the 75mins tour, we didn’t have to climb nor crawl underground so rest assured you won’t ruin your shoes nor cloths! If you are adventurous they also offer a deeper mine tour which lasts longer. 75mins tour is suitable for children and elderly. When we were down there for a guided walk, some people were having a birthday party in the mine with disco lights on. Guess it is one of a kind experience if anyone is interested.
We went on the mine tour and went underground. Never been in a mine before and loved it. Our guide was informative. We roamed on the surface in the old buildings and machinery. Well worth a visit into Bendigo’s history.
We did the 1h tour and it was extremely interesting and enjoyable. Zoe was really knowledgeable and explained how was working in the mine back in the days. She also showed us how to spot gold among other minerals. Highly recommended. I wish we did the 3.5h tour!
Great experience...a must do when in Bendigo.
Our tour guide SJ was amazing, funny and very knowledgeable.
Make sure you have enough time to visit the surface after or before your mine tour. If you book the last tour which is 3 pm, plan to visit the surface before the tour as there won't be enough time after. PRE-BOOK if you can to not get disappointed as it is very popular.
We parked the car an hour before our tour at museum parking and
took the talking tram around the city which first stop was in front of the museum, returned to the same spot after 45 mins and went straight to the Gold mine. Dont forget to wear comfy closed toe shoes.
Did the 61m mine experience and it was then best one I’ve experienced. They really did a good job showing how mining was done and why Bendigo mines couldn’t make it because of technology. They also showed what gold looks like in its natural form. I was amazed to hear they were still using 100 year old winch for the deeper mine experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and explained clearly. The 1 hour tour was a little long for kids under 10.
The tour was excellent and we highly recommend it. We went on the 61? metre tour and our leader was jeremy. He was 100% expert knowledgeable smart and funny and a great bloke along with it. So informative and interesting. Best remember to wear runners or ankle boots if you go. And if you go to Bendigo you gotta go.
Had quite an enjoyable experience on a nice and cozy Sunday afternoon. Our tour guide Nathan was the absolute best. Not only was he very knowledgeable, he was funny, constantly emphasized safety in the mine and did a excellent job overall. Would definitely recommend!
