Our guide had sent a message via Viator a day or so earlier saying our trip would need to be postponed a day due to weather, which we did and I was apprehensive about such an early 7am start, I was worried it would be too cold, but it warmed up soon enough plus we had the caves and grottos pretty much to ourselves! It was just as I had envisioned this trip! I would do it again, the kids too!”
