Castellana caves are visitable with 2 different walking tours: the shortest is only 1 km, the second one 3 km. As the difference in price is low (only 5 euros) I suggest for sure the full tour, otherwise you won't see the best part, ending with the white cave, that is absolutely stunning! More

Go, but try to find out what time the tour goes for your language. Cool inside, so great in summer. We went for the short tour and that was enough for us. Def. worth a visit. For anyone not wanting to go when others do, there is a nice cafe not far from the entrance. More

These grottoes are amazing and well worth a visit. Lovely and cool too when outside is in the high 30s'! We took the long tour which included the white cave, beautiful but quite cramped,so didn't have the wow factor I expected. I would mention one thing about the tours; we arrived early morning when there was already a queue, no... More

The white cave at the end is breathtaking............and the rest is brilliant. I've done a few caves in my time, but this was by far the best. More

We were fortunate to get a winter guide in English, and very fortunate to get Claudio. We were told in the summer they do guided tours in all the major languages, but a cold, wet Saturday in February the caves were not getting a lot of visitors. We opted for the long tour (about 3 km underground) and would recommend... More
