Two different caves in one go, really good guide - The first cave is very stunning and has some features you cannot see often. The second one is a more standard cave, mais great to visit too. A short walk of 10-15min. is between the two caves. Pretty easy to walk in the cave. The guide is really good and interesting

Great trip - Great trip. The guide was very good and informative, however I could have avoided all the times he showed us e.g. Snow White and the 7 dwarfs or a crocodile etc. but otherwise a really good trip, can be highly recommended.

Magical cave experience - This was an excellent, fun trip, and our leader, Peter, was very entertaining and knowledgeable about the caves that we visited. There are a lot of stairs to climb inside the cave but there are handrails and the stairs are very substantial.

Nice cave tour!!@ - We took the tour of Szemlő-hegyi-cave and Palvolgyi cave. There was a 15 minute 3D movie about all of the caves under Budapest. Victor was our guide and he provided great information about the history and geology of the caves with a good bit of humor too! There are concrete paths through a lot of the tour with some steep and uneven steps and a ladder in the mix, so consider your physical condition for this tour. There aren't a lot of spectacular cave formations due to the way the caves were formed but enough diversity of deposits and geology to keep things interesting. If you Google Map to Pusztaszeri ut 37 it will place you in front of a driveway........just go a few meters north and you will find the cave. Well worth your time while in Budapest. Recommended!!

Underground city caves - The tour was informative, our guide Peter had some good stories to share. The location was easy to get to walking or on a bus. There are 2 caves, exiting the first cave there was a great view of the city. We walked about 10 minutes to the next caves which is near a little restaurant.
