Port Angeles Underground Heritage Tour

Took this tour with our 14 year old granddaughter and everyone loved it. Claire and Bruce co-narrated the tour. Bruce is clearly a pro at this and a natural-born story-teller. it looks like Claire is learning the ropes but she's off to a great start and didn't hesitate to allow Bruce to chime in when she needed help.nnThe tour is well thought out and gives tremendous insights into the raising of Front Street in the early 1900's. And you get to see underground parts of the tour that you'd never find on your own. The story of the former brothel over the Family Shoe Store in and of itself is worth the price of admission.nnWell done!

Bruce did a fantastic job directing the group to and explaining the historicity of all the points of interest regarding the underground tunnels and store fronts in Port Angeles downtown area. The tour was informative, fun, and very entertaining. Bruce was hilarious and very knowledgeable!

Kristina did a great job showing us around the underground. I was surprised that she hadn't been giving the tour for years because she really knew her stuff.

Our guide was entertaining, energetic and very knowledgable of the history in the area. I would recommend this tour it allows you to appreciate Port Angeles.

We took the first haunted tour of the season this year. Our tour guide Bruce is a five star tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and was able to pass that knowledge on in a fun, engaging way. The tour itself was only average and I do blame the operator for that. We showed up 15 minutes early as did 7 other adults as we were told to. When we got there they said they were waiting on a group of 11. We started getting a little history when the first half of the large group walked in late and told them the other half of the group would be showing up soon. 10 minutes later another large group walks in to join the rest, with lots of children. The tour goes through small spaces and we could not fit everyone. The children were well behaved for the most part but still, they are children and were not being well monitored by the parents so it did take away from the enjoyment of the tour.nnWhy am I so focused on other tour participants and why did it affect my rating? This was the tour operators fault, a group that large should not have been added to our group but should have had their own private tour. Bruce even said he had to change his spiel to make it family friendly. The fact that they were 15-30 minutes late also should have been a red flag to book them separately. All of this affected my enjoyment of the tour. So to the managers of the underground tour, get your bookings in order and do NOT overbook small tours, you just make people unhappy.nnWould I take this tour again? Maybe. I think I would prefer the regular history tour to the haunted tour but would not want to do it in such a large group.
