What a wonderful time I and my friends had. Great time of year to go and we absolutely loved touring the town of Wallace as well. The Sierra Silver Mine Tour was a lot of fun as well as interesting…Full review by tpneumann

We had never been on a mine tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our driver and then mine tour by a 33 year veteran on the mine, Fast Freddy. We could have listened to his stories for hours. Very reasonabl…Full review by richardfV1607WJ
If we just drive into town, are we likely to be able to get on a tour the end of July? Don't really want to buy tickets for a designated time as I am not sure what time we will be arriving in Wallace.
A:
They schedule quite a few tours daily so there is a chance you can get on without pre booking. But that's just my feeling. I would call them closer to your date and ask them.
Is there a lot of walking involved? I am coming to visit with a 91 year old and she isnt sure if she could do it.

There is a little bit of walking. There's a small steep hill at the beginning and then a gradual decline through the mine. You go in one end and out another. It's like a big "U" shape mine. …
There is a little bit of walking. There's a small steep hill at the beginning and then a gradual decline through the mine. You go in one end and out another. It's like a big "U" shape mine. Also it's uneven terrain in side but no big rocks to stumble over. It would depend on how ambulatory and stable the person going with you is.
Is this tour suitable for young children? Thinking of doing this as a stop on a family road trip. We have a 7 yr old (she’d love it) and a 3 yr old who I’m not so sure about....

Yes this would be great for children. They do demonstrate how the equipment is used so it does get very loud for a brief amount of time. They also turn out the lights just for a fraction of a second to show how dark it is. You might want to bring ear protection for the loudness and just prepare them for a brief time of darkness. If they're ok with this, everything else will be fine and it will be fun for them too.

Well, there isn't a ramp or a lift for a wheelchair. The trolley does have a relatively low clearance, so someone could be lifted into it but there isn't traditional restraints. Ropes are draped across in front of the bench seats. Also, once you get to the tour site, there is a relatively narrow staircase up a steep hill that takes you to the entrance for the tour.
