Brilliant place for a family visit, but not advisable for small children. The price is fair. We took the short 60 minute tour, but for sure we will be back next year ( or before) for the 100 minute tour, which is 4km drive from the 60 minute tour cave. There is a guide who escorts you through the cave, stopping at certain places to explain the history. It was interesting and quite amazing. We took extra warm clothes in a back pack, just incase we got cold half way through. But there was no need, I was in shorts and a t shirt. Other people in light jackets. Once the tour is over, you have a pleasant walk back over the hills to the beginning. Out side the cave in the surrounding areas (walking) there is souvenir shops and 3 restaurants, well places to eat. Not high class restaurants, I would rather say , quick food points, but you order and can sit in pleasant surroundings and enjoy your food. The food price was also good value and not your typical tourist resort extortionate price. There is a small play ground, all in all it's a full day program. After the cave you can walk around...
Read moreFree parking on the opposite side of the road (during the off-season). Friendly reception at the ticket office. As the tour was offered in Hungarian language only, the receptionist offered well-written and sufficiently detailed A4 leaflets (printed on both sides) in various languages. The cave comprises several impressive and different large halls including a concert hall. During the tour you get an impression of the accusations as the guide starts a light and sound show. The paths are well maintained and easily walkable, including some steps though (not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers). The tour took about 55 minutes and could be paid for by card. Access to the cave is possible only at specified times which can result in some waiting time. However, there are possibilities to take a short walk, visit an outdoor exhibitiona playground, a restaurant, and a souvenir shop. Only 4 stars because the guide showed no motivation at all and didn't even make an attempt to greet foreigners or show them on the map where in the cave you...
Read moreThe Aggtelek cave complex is an amazing network of ancient caves in Hungary and Slovakia. The nature park offers different guided tours according to a variety of difficulty levels and durations. There are two entrances (with ticket offices) for the different tours, located a few minutes car ride from each other. The visits show the impressive caves, with beautiful stalagmites and others shapes. It’s cold down there, so dress accordingly. The tours at the time that when we went, were only offered in Hungarian, which is not unusual in Hungary. There are brochures with some minimal information in other languages, including English. However, the guide did not even bother to clearly name the different formations for non-native speakers, so you were regularly made to wait somewhere for a long Hungarian explanation without any idea where you were, without being able to follow in...
