Fun and very informative! Tour guide was great and getting to the caves was easier than I anticipated.

Great experience, we timed it well to arrive early upon opening and slightly off season, so the first boats were alone and quiet to enjoy the tranquility. There is a small community of cafes on site so plenty of time to enjoy. The boat trip includes a guide whom was very good, informative and peaceful. Would recommend.

The boat tour of the caves was like no other. You see the geology in such close proximity and the history is fascinating. Our guide from and back to Valencia was informative and entertaining. Thank you, Ferran, for making our time on the tour delightful.

Central pick up details given however exact spot to wait would have been beneficial as its quite a vast area. Tour guide spoke good English, journey about 45-50 minutes depending on traffic, beautiful location with plenty of choices to eat clean toilets and a few gift shops. Boat ride very very interesting but only allowed photos inside the cave when they tell you its ok. Would thoroughly recommend.

I booked last minute to see the caves and Im glad I did. Our tour guide was Ferran, he was very attentive. His explanation about the monuments and places weren't the typical traditional that you often hear. He explained from a local persons perspective, I really enjoyed.

The caves are beautiful! Very unique experience. We looked into getting there on our own from Valencia via public transport, it’s a long ride, the tour bus made the journey someone and easy. highly recommended.

Alex was so patient, understanding, and always on point with information about what we were about to embark on. Timely pickup, a great bus tour to start, then finish with the boat tour of a life time. I also called and spoke directly with the tour company, got straight answers from the most polite assistant over the phone. This was the best tour for so many reasons.
