Coves in Valencia- thumbs up - Manuel was very sweet and told us about the sites as we were traveling to the coves. He answered all our questions. Carlos was the driver and got us back and forth safely. The coves were a unique experience with the boat and tunnels and surprise ending. They didn't over crowd us in the boat. The tunnels were not claustrophobic. I was concerned about that and almost didn't go, but there was plenty of space all around us. Great experience!

Beautiful cave network - The bus was on time and a comfortable 45-minute drive to the caves. The caves were beautiful. This is a different way of exploring the underground water network within the caves. 100% worth the money paid.

The most majestic caves - An unforgettable experience. Seeing these caves on a boat trip was for me a unique experience as the play of lights between the rocks the stalagmites and stalactites and the WOW water that shows 💕❤️ . I recommend this visit to everyone at least once in a lifetime. Our Anais Guide is very good and attentive to detail.

SAN JOSÉ CAVES - San Jose Caves tour was well operated. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He provided additional information on the way to the caves which was interesting. There are three pick up spots so part of the time on this tour is the pick ups and the travel. The actual tour times of the caves is not very long. The caves are beautiful but it is a long trip for a short tour. Also- they limit your photo taking during the first part of the tour. There is a cute surprise waiting at the end!

One of a kind experience! - The trip was absolutely spectacular. The caves are magical, and the guides were friendly, helpful, and professional! As to the caves, there was only one aspect that didn't quite match the scenery of the caves: the sudden light show and a Coldplay song. It would be better to just enjoy the ambience of the caves. It's still worth visiting, though.

Pretty good - All well organised in terms of the trip, the caves were all clean and the people in the canes were polite and boats were clean - It wasn’t amazing, you get picked up from one of three stops with 52 other people. The guide was pretty good on the bus ride taking about history and culture. The caves are pretty good, the floor is tiled all the way and electricity cables and lights made it look too perfect like Disney - 8.15 pick up, pick up other people, coach ride, 30 mins hanging around for a 10am slot, 15 mins to look at a Roman site near the caves (which was really not amazing) 11.15 back on the coach It was ok - not really worth the cost in my opinion

Trip thru stunning caves - The boat ride thru caves was very pleasurable and formations inside stunning. Guide for the trip was very good , and her English was very easy to understand. Once they hand you off to boat guide it gets to be a little more difficult as some don’t speak as well as others and you lose that interaction.
