  On Friday, January 2nd, we were looking for a family outing for our nine-year-old and five-and-a-half-year-old children, who are passionate about prehistoric history and caves. We thought it would be great to take them there. Upon arrival, the woman at reception stared at my five-year-old son, and I immediately understood there was a problem. She told me that the visit wouldn't be possible because my son was too young and that visits were only permitted for children aged seven and up, and that this was stated on the website. Indeed, after searching the website for quite some time, I did see in the fine print that it was stated, but very poorly indicated and barely visible when making the reservation. During the booking process, it only says "free for those under 26"... The woman explained that, given my child's motor development, it wasn't suitable. I found this very insensitive, as I believe it's up to us as parents to manage the outings we arrange for our children. She initially told me the tickets were neither exchangeable nor refundable, but then later indicated we could exchange them with grandparents, uncles, aunts, or other relatives. Ultimately, the tickets were exchangeable, as it suited her, but not refundable. She suggested we go down to do the tour with just our older son, which we refused. Considering the price we paid and the lack of information on the website regarding age restrictions, I find this behavior inappropriate. I think they should make sure the important information is clearly displayed on the first page of the booking process.

  Having visited several caves, we had similar expectations for this visit. Unfortunately, we were shocked to pay €13 per person for a maximum length of 7 meters. We felt ripped off in a tourist trap; the guides' welcome left much to be desired. We do not recommend this place.
