Reviewed By antoniopI8584WA - Foligno, Italy
A unique and magical experience into 700 metres deep caverns that contain two waterfalls and a lake. Wear good walking shoes and a rain jacket. The one hour tours are conducted in Italian, although there is also one English speaking guide. The ticket office is conveniently located next to the cavern entrance, except for the month of August, when it is in the village below the caverns. A shuttle in in place during this time. Especially children love the experience. Recommended B&B/restaurant are: La Villa, Casa Bologna and only restaurant: Da Leda and Santino.
