Visite privée à pied de la grotte à Budapest
Description
Marche des grottes – une visite moins aventureuse, très bien même pour ceux qui souffrent de claustrophobie, pas de limite d’âge supérieure 2.5 - 3 heures de marche privée dans deux grottes, toutes deux pavées et équipées d’éclairage artificiel. La première grotte est le « jardin de fleurs souterrain » de Budapest en raison de ses concrétions minérales charastéristiques (coraux rupestres, plaques de calcite) et cristaux de gypse. L'autre grotte possède des cristaux de calcite et de baryte et des dépôts de plaques de calcite provenant d'anciens lacs d'eau chaude. On y trouve également des stalactites et des stalagmites. Veuillez noter : cette visite est pour les petits groupes (max 14 pax) avec guide Anglais. Les grottes peuvent également être visitées à moindre prix en rejoignant les visites guidées hongroises régulières plus courtes (généralement des groupes scolaires ou des familles) qui commencent toutes les heures.

Itinéraire
Cave Walk est une manière détendue d'explorer des grottes, même pour ceux qui souffrent de claustrophobie. Budapest est la capitale des grottes : plus de deux cents grottes sont connues sous le côté Buda de la ville, créées par les mêmes sources qui alimentent les célèbres stations thermales. La grotte Szemlo-hegyi est le « jardin fleuri souterrain » de Budapest en raison de ses concrétions minérales floriformes : coraux des cavernes, plaques de calcite et cristaux de gypse. Des chambres spectaculaires, de vastes dimensions verticales et des « ornements pétrifiés » fantaisistes caractérisent cette grotte. Après la première partie de notre visite, du haut de cette grotte nous pouvons faire une pause pour admirer le panorama de la capitale.
Le système de grottes de Palvolgyi est le plus long système de grottes de Hongrie. C'est un labyrinthe de passages étroits et d'espaces creux. Vous devrez être prêt à monter quelques marches : nous monterons plus de 400 marches et une échelle de 7 mètres de long. Outre les stalactites et les stalagmites, la grotte contient des cristaux de calcite et de barytine ainsi que des dépôts de plaques de calcite provenant d'anciens lacs d'eau chaude.

The cave tour was a wonderful experience! It started with a 3-D short film about the caves in Budapest which was a perfect way to set the stage for the tour. Our guide, Peter, was laid back, friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. He spoke very good English. He is a cave enthusaist himself and I believe this enhanced our experience. We toured two caves, Semlő-hegyi & Pál-völgyi. The only down side is that the description of the experience doesn't mention that to get to the second cave, there is about aa 20 minute walk through the neighborhoods. It was a pretty hot day for us and we didn't expect this. Of note: There are a lot of stairs and dark, narrow spaces. I am a slow walker and have two replaced knees, one of which doesn't bend as much as the other. I can do stairs, though I am slow. So be ready for that! The second cave, also has a steep ladder to climb. But it was very exciting and worth it. Our guide was quite helpful and patient with me being the slow-poke. He was also funny! The maintenence of the caves is fabulous and most places where there are stairs, a handrail is available. I think this is a unique and worthwhile experience to add to your visit to Budapest!
An awesome experience! The guide was very knowledgeable, with great passion about caves, and knew how to build a nice atmosphere among the group.
Budapest is an incredible city with so many amazing sights, food, and museums above ground. We were surprised how much we loved our tour of the Pál-völgyi and Szemlő-hegyi caves. The introductory movie was great, our tour guide was amazing, and the walk between the caves was a good break between the cave tours. We appreciated having an English tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide, who we could ask questions instead of having a headset with a prerecorded tour. We were in a small group of about a dozen people so it was easy to stay with the group and hear our guide. Next time we are in Budapest I expect we will go on this tour again. There are steps of different sizes, some almost like a ladder, and some walking in the caves and between the caves, so if that is a concern for you perhaps just tour the Szemlő-hegyi Cave which is a much easier tour.
Highly recommend it. Exploring the caves was a dream and Pete the group leader made the cave hike unique with his knowledge and humor. Would do this activity again and recommend
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We truly appreciate you recommending us to others visiting Budapest.
Dark and cool, i recommend a mobile/flashlight and a light jacket. The tour includes a cave right at the entrance and after a sho walk (10min) a second cave tour. The experience was great and the guide was friendly and helpful.
An excellent experience with a brilliant guide who was so knowledgeable about the cave systems. We visited 2 separate caves which were a good 20 minutes walk apart. When they say dress for the cold believe them. Luckily we had taken the advice. There is a lot of walking and climbing up and down steps plus a 7m ladder climb. You will need to have a reasonable fitness level for this particular event. If you are able to do this, it is well worth it but don't go if tired. Brilliant experience.
Great experience, would definitely recommend! The path wasn’t difficult and the pace was good. The temperature in both cave systems was fine and didn’t need a jacket.
Fantastic guide—knowledgeable, funny and thorough. Caves were so interesting. Different formations were easy to discern.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, Peter was funny and knowledgeable about the cave system, and Budapest in general. Highly recommended.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review, it means a lot to us.
Super cool experience and I mean that in two ways! Cool as in awesome, but cool as in chilly inside the caves as well. But it was great learning about why these caves exist and our guide had a fun sense of humor as well. You get to explore two caves on this journey and after the first one, you have a great view of Budapest and then get to enjoy your inner child by going down a brief playground slide. The walk to the second cave is half a mile (our group did it in 12 minutes) and it has a mild incline at some points but it's really a pretty leisurely hike. Bring a sweatshirt to wear inside the cave. The temperature inside is about 11 celsius or 50 fahrenheit. It's also damp and you may have water drip on you (though nothing significant. You won't get drenched or anything)
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are delighted to know you enjoyed the tour.
