Great - Our tour guide Andrew made the tour and the day even better! Tour was not too long or too short and it was cool to experience the caves which was something different. But the highlight was definitely Andrew. Thanks for a great tour!

A must do tour. - This was a fantastic day trip made even more special by our guide Andrej. He was very knowledgeable and would point out facts on areas/buildings that you only get with a local guide on the journey there and back. Not to mention his extensive narrative on the castle and the caves. The caves were amazing to see and I highly recommend this excursion and hopefully you get Andrej as your guide.

Enjoyable day trip - Adam and Andre (think I’ve spelt incorrectly!) were really friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed this tour seeing both sites- a nice day trip out from the city. The castle was really interesting with a rich history, and the caves isn’t something we would normally visit however we were glad we did as the formations were lovely as was the countryside around it.

Great experience! - Joseph, you're an amazing tour guide! He was knowledgeable and engaging at the same time with each individual. Thank you for picking/dropping myself and Vivian on the tour to the cave and castle safely. The drive was smooth and loved how you explained the history on the way and in the cave. It was alot of interesting information and we learned alot. We had Martin who gave us the castle tour and he was also informative. Lunch was delicious! Great experience. Highly recommend!

Great trip! - From start to finish, Ondrej was the most knowledgeable, kindest, considerate tour guide. Nothing was a bother to him. He looked after everyone in the group, answering all questions. The castle was very interesting, the lunch was great, with Ondrej explaining what the dishes on the menu were, and the tour of the caves was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip, and would definitely recommend, especially with Ondrej.
