    The Ramsgate Tunnels offer visitors an insightful look into the town's wartime history. This network of underground tunnels, originally built as a railway tunnel in the 19th century, was repurposed during World War II as an air raid shelter for thousands of local residents.

    Visitors generally appreciate the informative guided tours, which provide a comprehensive understanding of the tunnels' history and significance. The guides are often praised for their knowledge and engaging storytelling, bringing the experiences of wartime civilians to life. The authentic atmosphere of the tunnels, maintained with period artifacts and recreated scenes, helps to immerse visitors in the past.

    Many reviewers find the experience educational and moving, offering a tangible connection to the hardships faced by people during the war. The museum effectively illustrates how the local community came together during challenging times.

    However, some visitors note that the tunnels can feel claustrophobic and may not be suitable for those with mobility issues or fear of enclosed spaces. A few reviewers mention that the tour can be quite long, which might be tiring for some people, especially children or elderly visitors.

    The museum has also received some criticism for its limited facilities, such as a small gift shop and basic restrooms. A few visitors have commented that the ticket prices are a bit high for the experience offered.

    Despite these minor drawbacks, the majority of visitors find the Ramsgate Tunnels to be a worthwhile and memorable experience, providing a unique perspective on local and wartime history.
