The tour was well organized and the communication by the organizer was also fine. Due to too few registrations, my booked tour was cancelled, but an alternative was quickly found that was appropriate. The caves are beautiful and I found it very impressive to see. The guides knew a lot to tell us during the route towards the caves and the guide who accompanied us in the cave also knew a lot of interesting information to tell us. The only flaw I found was the waiting time after arriving at the caves. That really could have been a lot shorter for me. All in all a great tour and pleasant organization!

We took the tour of the San Josep Caves with transfer by car with Monika. Really a wonderful experience! The underground river tour is very fascinating, a unique experience! And Monika is a very knowledgeable and helpful guide who accompanied us before and after the tour giving us a lot of information both in general about Valencia and specifically about the caves. We were very satisfied both us and our children aged 9 and 13!

The visit was very interesting, pity that photos are only allowed during a piece and you lose a little charm. Also noteworthy especially the very attentive Ferran guide and his very detailed explanations!

Beautiful underground experience to the caves of San Jose entirely guided on comfortable and safe boats and a stretch on foot in the caves. Buses with convenient stops with journey about 40 minutes from the center of Valencia. Accompanying Alessandro very good and helpful.

It was fantastic! Our tour guide was very sweet. We were taken to the San Jose Caves and she made sure we got there in time to enjoy some shopping and a cup of coffee and snack before the tour started. It was a relaxing tour in a boat. The inside was beautiful! The water was clear and the lights showed the magnificence of the cave.
