You will be listening to the stories about the stonemasons, who worked here for many years to create a cave with a distance of about 70 km. But he will also tell you about the more recent times. The cave is accessible for disabled people. The tour starts at the Cauberg 4 where the tour guide or train driver will pick you up.

Most - it's extraordinary! Least - guide walked very fast and held the only lantern. I was nervous I would trip and fall if I wasn't close to him. I have osteoporosis and a fall can be very dangerous for me. I think the person in the back should also hold a light. I didn't have headphones to download the English version app as the tour is only in Dutch. Still very interesting, but I would have liked to hear the information. I didn't want to take the train tour as I wanted to be close up to the art.

We had Peter as our guide and he was fantastic! We were a group that spoke English and he happily abliged and did a wonderful job. He was very entertaining and knowledgable! Great experience being in the caves and will definitely be back to see the Christmas market.

It was very different. Biking in low overhead limestone was fun. Hit my head a few times. Not for the claustrophobic person.

We just had a lot of problems (one hour at reception) to transform a bongo into an entry ticket, otherwise perfect stay!

Enthusiastic guide who knows a lot! Beautiful municipal cave.
