AI Review Summary Based on 15 reviews

Customer reviews for Ramsgatetunnels are overwhelmingly positive, with thirteen out of fifteen reviews awarding five stars. The tours are consistently praised for being informative, engaging, and well-presented, offering deep insight into the tunnels' role during WWII. Guides such as Steve, Martin Stagg, Bruce, and Brian are frequently highlighted for their knowledge, humor, and passion. Volunteers are described as friendly, helpful, and approachable, enhancing the overall experience. The tour is considered excellent value for money and suitable for all ages. However, two negative reviews report serious service failures, including a rude volunteer who refused entry and did not issue a refund after a minor booking mistake. Another customer arrived during advertised opening hours but was turned away by a staff member who dismissed the incorrect Google listing. These incidents indicate inconsistent customer service and a lack of accountability regarding refunds and opening hours. Despite these issues, the vast majority of visitors describe their experience as brilliant, fascinating, and highly recommendable. Overall satisfaction is very high among those who successfully completed a tour, but the handling of complaints and errors requires improvement.

Need better customer service

Need better customer service Got there around 1345 after driving down from Essex and a man at the entrance bluntly said they re closed Their Google page said open until 1600 When I told the member of staff this he was not interested that his opening hours were incorrect and instead seemed very arrogant In future a better response may be oh I m very sorry where did you see those opening hours I ll get them changed Need to make the effort to keep their hours updated and drop their attitude that the customer owes them At least it saved us 18

Second visit and both great

Second visit with a different group of friends - a few months apart Both visits were fantastic The well presented tour gives you a real insight into how valuable the tunnels were to the community in terms of saving lives and also what the conditions must have been like to be underground with all the bombing above Very low cost in comparison to some entrances
