Absolutely amazing day. Petra, our tour guide, was brillant; the perfect combination of funny and informative having to switch between German and English throughout the trip. The meal arranged was perfect in a local restaurant near the cave where they served all their own produce. The cave itself was spectacular (and a cool break from the September heat). Petra ensured both us and the German couple were happy and together we had a fantastic day. It's worth doing for the views, Petra's knowledge, the delicious food and of course the cave itself. Unfortunately the review won't let me add a photo stating their too large. Thank you so much. Victoria (Sheffield, England)
