our guide Zara was brilliant and the huge chamber full of stalactites was the highlight. Booked it for my birthday so it wasnt too busy. Miles ahead of a similar cave tour we tried in cancun, and did it on our first morning. Would book again no question.

our guide Aiko couldnt do enough for us and the huge chamber full of stalactites was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the cave tour we did in lisbon last year, and over easter break. Would book again no question, no joke

our guide Mehmet was brilliant and squeezing through the narrow bit was the highlight. First thing in the morning so it wasnt too busy. Handy if youre short on time, and cool 14 degrees down there, and spot on for a couples day out, and went deep into the system. Would book again no question.
