I went on the 3hr "Miner's Underground" tour and thought it was great. My guide (Marge) was very knowledgeable of the mine and the geology of the area. She also told great stories of what it was like to be working at the mine 100+ years ago. It was fascinating to learn how the copper was extracted, how the earth... More

This place is really, really cool - both figuratively and literally. The mine is 48 degrees inside, so be sure to bring a jacket with you. We took the basic tour with lasted around 45 minutes because we were concerned about how strenuous the tour might be on a member of our party who has some medical issues, but we... More

My husband and I took a Captain's Tour and we had two tour guides that brought us in and fully customized our tour based on what we had previously seen on other tours and what we were most interested in seeing. The tour guides were fun and easygoing. They certainly made the tour a blast! An authentic "mine style" lunch... More

The rappelling was a real adventure and the guide we had (Diane) was a true professional. If you only visit one copper mine in the UP, make it the... More

A hidden treasure. The experience itself is worth the trip. The guides were knowledgeable and the grounds were well kept. A must see for anyone.

Good touristy event pertaining to the heritage of mining so important to the area. When we went they offered repelling for the more adventurous; the walking tour was easy for an average person.

Excellent family owned tour company. Very accommodating with our small children along. Awesome adventure and history! Very well worth the time. Will take the longer tour next time we go!!
