Wonderful experience, extremely beautiful place. Thanks to our guide Ferran, he was very attentive and charming.
Nice seeing caves but very expensive for what it was
Thank you for your review! 😊 We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful San José Caves. Our tour includes transportation from Valencia, entrance tickets and the services of an official guide, so it's much more than just the cave ticket itself. We hope the experience and the convenience of having everything organised made it worthwhile!
Very nice trip with great guide Feron (i think it was his name). During the bus ride there were stories about Valencia and caves told by our guide. The caves are superb experience. I recommend this trip!
