Thanks Ross for giving us a great tour of the glow worm cave. Your passion, interest and knowledge, not only for the caves themselves, but for your local area and in showing people your patch (and taking an interest in them too, where they were from and their life experiences) made the Spellbound tour a real highlight of our travels... more

This small glow worm tour company was wonderful. My husband and I were late, but one of the staff was kind enough to drive us to the cave site to catch up with the group. We did not miss much. We visited two caves in 3 hours, with a small break in between. Our guide, Norman, was very knowledgable about... more

This was well worth the time and the money. Truly a one of a kind experience. Just the van ride out and over the mountain to the caves was exciting. Seeing all of the lambs crossing our path was fun.

This was the way touring used to be: personalized, informative, and small in group size. We loved every minute of the trip....the guide was patient and informative, lured cave eels out of their rock hiding,... more

Pete was our guide and boy he knew his stuff (even helped us get to grips with our new camera!). We went with our children aged 10 and 11 and there were only two other participants - whats more we came across no other tour groups so it felt really exclusive. The size of the group and the knowledge and... more

When on holidays you tend to spend a lot more than when you're at home so when you find an attraction that gives you so much value for money I believe you should tell the world.
