Very fun and informative and our guide was amazing! Will was knowledgeable, energetic and was able to keep the group of all ages entertained. This is a great activity for the price, not only do you get over an hour tour in the mill but then you get to pan for gold afterwards! Everyone in our group found something and Will kept circulating and helping out to make sure that everyone got the most out of their experience. If we get to come back out to Colorado we will be coming back!

Will was our guide and he made it informational and fun. The Mill is a very historic place in Colorado Gold rush history and I was glad we made the trip. Then we panned for gold!

The wife, son, and me all took the tour and enjoyed every aspect of it. The staff was friendly and the guide was knowledgeable about the mine and surrounding area. Stepping back into a different era was very cool. At the end, you even pan for gold. My son thought this was the best part. Overall, it was a great time.
