Reviews
Michael was a fantastic guide. The cave was another highlight, with an amazing guide who shared great stories, and I also enjoyed the little foot skeleton.
The experience was engaging and informative. However, I believe the guide should have been more careful in ensuring there was adequate lighting in the cave. Although he had a flashlight, it didn’t illuminate the area effectively, and I needed to rely on my phone for better visibility. Since the stairs were wet and slippery, it seemed necessary to have provided more light, perhaps by offering additional flashlights to the group.
I had a lovely experience that matched the description. The tour through the cave was incredibly engaging. My driver, Michael, was excellent, and I plan to stay in contact with him for future trips.
I had a great time exploring human history, and the cave experience was definitely a standout moment. Highly recommend this tour.
I highly recommend this tour. Solly was fantastic—very knowledgeable and an excellent driver.
The trip was marked by punctuality, with a friendly and knowledgeable guide.
Solly served as an excellent host, and the cave was enjoyable.
The cave and museum offered engaging experiences, and the guides provided valuable insight. Just be ready to bend down and crawl at times while exploring the cave.
Incredible experience, very informative, and definitely a site that should not be missed. It's important to wear suitable shoes, as some parts of the cave necessitate physical agility and can be quite demanding for those who struggle with bending or squatting.
Exploring the ups and downs of the area where human history likely began was a fantastic experience. The guide displayed impressive knowledge and effectively shared insights. As it involves walking through caves that can be wet and slippery, it's important to wear good walking shoes and be prepared to bend down at times.
