Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Well worth every cent.

We did the Hardtimes Mine Underground tour at Mount Isa and Ian was our guide who was excellent and had loads of information about the mine and the art of mining. He was very happy to answer our many questions too. We found the the tour very enjoyable and interesting. We would highly recommend this tour, a must when visiting Mount Isa. Hopefully 🤞 you will get Ian.

You Gotta Do It !

The most excellent mine tour we have ever been on . Our guide Ian was very informative and it was really great to hear first hand experience from someone who has worked that job for many years doing the hard yakka. Thanks so much for giving us a first hand understanding of underground mining. Can’t rate highly enough.

So many fossils!!
Oct. 2023 • Family
We just had the most magical tour of the fossils. Alan our guide was amazing. For an “old miner” as he called himself, he would have passed as a palaeontologist. Please please please don’t miss this place, it is worth every cent. We are coming back tomorrow!!

Mt Isa Experience
Oct. 2023 • Couples
Only had time to do Mt Isa experience. Reasonably priced and really interesting. Very good exhibition. Wish we had time to do the mine tours. Will stay a night next time instead of passing through.
