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!
A very unique, educational and special experience everyone would love to try!
We had an extremely passionate guide name Nathan, which was not only knowledgeable about an impressive number of things but also very emotionally intelligent.
He shared a lot of fun facts as much as personal life lessons that will stick with me for a long time.
Wonderful to see such tender people loving their job !
Definitely recommend!
The highlight of our Bendigo stay!
This authentic historic experience is a great hands-on visit to showcase a real gold mine.
The tour guide, Jeremy, made my Son's day as he clearly knew who was interested in what he had to share about the mine.
From the start, more than accomodating and flexible as we had to change our online booking session time.
A fantastic location for families!
Excellent. The above ground is free to view and had a lot of things to see. The gold mine underground tour was excellent and the tour guide was very good and talked abut interesting things. The tour is $35 for an adult ticket but well worth it, is lasted over an hour.
Taken 75 minutes Tour.
Ticket : $35 per Adult.
Expensive, price should be less.
It’s just 10-15 minutes under ground walk , but they took 75 min to explain the history of Gold Mine.
We booked in Advance.
Did the Deborah Central Goldmine tour on 28/11/23. Mainly because of my name. Lol.
Maddy did a fantastic job as tour guide answering all questions, making it entertaining and very real.
I learned so much. Felt quite emotional seeing the miner’s change area with all the jackets and cardigans still on the hooks above ground.
Was surprisingly wet underground but nice and cool. I could see my breath 😳
Women in the gift shop/café were exceptionally kind and helpful. 10/10 to all.
We went to visit the Central Deborah Mine on Friday last week, and chose to do the guided tour underground. It was sensational.
I've been lucky to visit other mines around the world, but they have been turned more into a tourist attraction rather than left as a mine that allows tourists.
You go down 61m in an industrial lift (nothing fancy here). You walk through damp/muddy soil, and would be in total darkness if not for the torch on the mandatory helmet you wear.
Our tour guide Maddy was excellent at explaining conditions inside the mine for both historical and current miners, as she is one. I have a personal interest as some relatives were miners as well. Her depth of understanding and no-nonsense clarity of explaining was refreshingly honest. I certainly had a deeper respect for what they do.
Our kids thought the trip was one of the highlights of the weekend. The only part that concerned them was a drill demonstration which was very noisy. However they are still talking today about going back.
A hidden gem of Bendigo.
This place was just an awesome experience, one of my top places to visit of all time !
Above ground having a huge display with so much to see and learn about the working and process of ore to extract gold. There is a huge amount of old hysterical machinery on display.
We then ventured underground on a mine tour ..an experience I will never forget . The guys that took us down were so informative, and explaining so much in detail.
Although we went so deep underground I felt safe at all times.
I have never experienced being so deep underground, let alone an actual gold mine ...this is just something you have to experience for yourself.
