This was a perfect first time experience for Caving, our guide was energetic, funny and cool in general :) I am shorter than the average, my boyfriend is taller, but we both had an amazing time.

First the guide was great. Lazlo was awesome and went out of his way for everyone. 5 stars for him! The write up by Viator is only worth 1 star! For serious spelunkers, do this tour your will love it and don’t bother reading on. For everyone else please read before doing this tour. Do not do if you have any of the below problems 1) increased body habitus. Whether overweight, a bulky body builder, or a female endowed with large breasts- all will have trouble with the very tight spaces as in the picture 2) age. All the others taking the tour were in 20s. 40’s maybe? 50s- no way unless experienced 3) anxiety/claustrophobia- even mild cases one would struggle with 4) advanced height- 5’10 » or less is fine. At 6 foot it is harder. I can imagine how anyone really tall could do it 5) lung/breathing- I have not had any breathing symptoms since I outgrew asthma as a kid. I struggled with this as we got deeper. Once you get out of breath from dragging yourself you can’t get it back without a long sit. 6) dirt phobia- you WILL get your hands dirty 7) bad knees- there is constant abrasion on the ground. They need to advertise to « Bring knee pads! ».I was pretty hesitant going into this experience but wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone.

I was pretty hesitant going into this experience but wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone. I was instantly put at ease by our friendly and super funny guide who kept us entertained the whole way around the cave system. He made us feel like we could tackle every obstacle. It was honestly one of the best things I did in Budapest and an incredibly rewarding experience. Couldn't recommend it and our guide more! Expect narrow cracks, small wedges and holes to shimmy through. Pretty easy to get to on public transport and there are walking routes as well if you wanted to make a day of it in that area!This was my first time to ever do caving, and this was truly brilliant. The guide we had, Lacko was funny, very knowledgeable and made the tour really fun. It definitely challenges your fitness levels and would definitely recommend doing it if your not claustrophobic.

He was very informative and made us feel at ease despite the small spaces we crawled through. Best experience and would recommend to anyone.
