We had two great guides: Nick and Viktor! They had good knowledge of the caves, attentive to what we wanted, friendly, very good in english and they made the day go really smooth. They were also very good with kids - our boys aged 9 and 11 loved the experience.
My wife and I did the Paradise and Dark Cave Tours. We did the Paradise Cave tour with Nick as our guide. Nick was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and interesting, with a great understanding of how the cave was formed and who discovered it and when. His English was perfect and he kept the group well informed of all the cave’s details. In the afternoon we did the Dark Cave tour with Victor. My wife and I are in our late 50s (ok, nearly 60) and as this is quite adventurous, Victor really looked after us. Victor was also very funny, extremely knowledgeable and was a park cave explorer for over 15 years. We had an absolutely brilliant time on the Dark Cave tour with Victor, and felt we were in very safe hands indeed. I can’t recommend Victor and Nick highly enough. The lunch provided was also absolutely delicious and the administrative arrangements and communication all worked perfectly.
Very bad organization someone hung still in the middle and she just sent the next one where they collided full and now 1 tore the back vertebra in 3 places and the holiday is done

Very impressive. Good guidance from our guide Nick. Was a friendly and enthusiastic guide with knowledge of the facts.
Despite the rain (wear a raincoat if possible) it was an amazing day, beautiful place, and a wonderful tour guide Nic! <3
We had a fantastic day with our guide Sy. The caves are very beautiful and very different from each other. Sy knows a lot about the caves and the history of this area. Also from his own experience, which results in very beautiful stories. We were very impressed by the caves and the stories about this area.

I would highly recommend this tour!
