      You don't need 'very' with 'fascinating'. This is because 'fascinating' is a strong adjective.

    I have watched Urban Explorers RUclips channels who have probably been in that tunnel. It's crazy how many tunnels are under our great city. Miles and miles of abandoned tunnels mixed with tunnels that are used for utilities etc. Exploring with fighters is a good one where he and other RUclips ers have a sweet adventure. A few intact.
