Had a wonderful experience at the Grotten van Han. Caves are very impressive and the tour was made even more wonderful by the very efficient and friendly staff. Guided tour presented in English, French and Dutch by very well trained and interesting guides. More

First you get on a cute little train which takes you several km to the entrance to the caves. It gives you a nice view of the area. Before you get on the train, there is a gift shop, a food counter, and toilets (40 cents). There is also free WiFi (ask at the food counter for the password). They... More

My husband and I decided to take a day tri from Trier, Germany. This place is only an hour's drive away. The weather wasn't great so we thought the underground caves were a good choice. You take a train ride of about 5 minutes to the caves. The caves are beautiful and other-worldly. The tour took about an hour and... More

This is a wonderful experience if you are not claustrophobic, as the entrance is quite tight. Once inside it's really beautiful. More

Wonderful, atmospheric tour. The guides speak English, French, German etc. Take a little train ride to the top of the hill then follow the tunnels through the rock, past strange natural formations and through vast caverns. The fire-runners are impressive, leaping from rock to rock in the dark, while carrying a flaming brand. Then a boat-ride to bring you back... More

We decided on a Sunday afternoon day trip from Brussels and decided upon the caves. We were so glad we decided to go! The tour was totally informative in French, Dutch and English for the few of us in the crowd! The caves are totally beautiful and the walk it easy for most . My son was engaged and happy... More

The Grotte de Han, which is a long series of caves, is very interesting and well worth a look if you are in the area. The formations are very interesting, and there is a guide with you the entire time explaining things. In one of the larger caverns, you sit down and experience a light show with music, which is...

In 1988, my husband and I, while on our honeymoon, visited some caves somewhere in Virginia. It was January, we were the only ones on the tour, and it was a goofy, tacky sort of tourist trap. We loved it, but we did not respect it. So I was prepared for more of the same at the Grottes de Han.... More

Location E411, (Brussels Luxembourg), exit 23, (wellin) Han-Sur-lesse is 5 Km further, very well signposted. Alternatively, by train to Jamelle, you get the bus (runs every hour), right outside the station for the 15-minute journey to the village. This is charming, picturesque countryside, within the (very touristy) village of Han-Sur Lesse, in the municipality of Rochefort, Namur province, Walloon. These... More

Go to Grottes de Han and prepare to be amazed. If I told you too much more, it would spoil the suprise of what you will see. Prepare for lots of open jaw moments and just soak in what will be 2 of the best hours underground you can spend in Belgium! More
