Traveler reviews
Denise Bennett
★★★★★a month agoAs a 60 year old couple, we had an amazing time, the tour was very interesting, underground rivers, pools and even plants growing with the help of artifical light. Not an issue for me, but lots of steps and some narrow dark passages where your phone torch is needed, I loved it, but my husband decided that as well as heights, he now doesn't like confined spaces and sat out of one part of the tour, so if you are planning to do this activity bear this in mind. Overall, a great activity and would defo recommend.

★★★★★3 weeks agoVery cool and informative tour of the three (3) previous uses if this subterranean environment. They do tours in English and Italian. Our guide was great and also took us on a bonus walking tour that touched on an ancient Roman theatre. The tour is a nice break from the heat. Definitely worth the price.
