Me and my partner loved the tour! Our tour guide Vanessa was lovely, she explained everything clearly and was able to answer any questions.. especially with a pinch of humour. We were mesmerized by the cave and everything it had to offer. We were even allowed to take a little stone! Much recommended tour 😊
