Our actor that guided us through the passage to fortune wasn't on point. Stumbling on words and unable to remember parts of his skit. It felt forced and corny, he didn't make the experience feel genuine (I know it's an exaggerated reinactment) but the lack of improv and ability to let the tourist feel immersed and taken back in time made for a very dull tour.

The tour felt extremely rushed. We were only in a party of two and the place was dead that day so with us being a small crowd and nobody scheduled behind us I felt like there was a missed opportunity for an intimate experience where lots of information could have been provided with lots of room for questions and conversation about the topic.

I also think it's a bit of laziness on behalf of the structure of the tunnel experience, to sit in the theatre room and watch an extremely dated, fictional corny video about the granddaughter who is greatful of her grandparents sacrifice to work in the tunnels. I personally think nobody wants to pay for a guided tour with real actors to be sat down for several minutes to watch something fictional. The tour should focus on the true facts about the slavery involved. This section of the tour feels like an extreme waste of money and I don't understand why it's involved unless it's just a gap filler.

I have been through this funnel years prior to this recent visit and the acting was great! They also provided so much detailed information to the topic which made it feel like a fun learning experience rather than a forced, rushed, put on act, just to get it over with for more or less. I remember leaving the tour where we got to walk through a room in the past, where they had many photographs of the real people involved and they gave us knowledge about the Chinese culture and lots of fun facts. And some time to admire the ones before us who sacrificed so much. It was a wonderful display that brought tears to my eyes and I'm not sure why they got rid of it.

Our guide also had extremely putrid body odour, which I can say was probably the most authentic part of the experience as I'm sure personal hygiene wasn't taken as seriously in those days compared to now.

I won't be keeping the tunnels on a high priority list to take family and friends to again when they visit moose jaw. Over $50 for 2 people to be rushed through a 15 minute experience which lacked enthusiasm and missed opportunities for educational insights, it felt like we were rushed through as quickly as possible without providing us with all the fascinating historical knowledge that draws me to the tunnels in general.

The cost is way too high for what is provided. If the actors aren't going to put in effort to submerse people into the experience perhaps just keep it as a guided museum tour with one person who's actually going to put some effort in education. Either way $25 for one person to see 1 funnel is an absolute rip off.
