The tour is self led with an app you download before you start. This means you can take as long as you want and make sure you don’t miss anything. There are also displays with more fascinating details to check out either before or after your tour. When I visited the caverns were dressed for Christmas and was quite magical and atmospheric. I’m sad I missed the Christmas carols, that’s on the must do list for next year.

The whole experience was wonderful. The self guided audio tour was perfect, not too long or short. The whole cave itself is spectacular. The staff are incredibly friendly. The cafe shack was just enough, for sandwiches and drinks. Sandwich is a little expensive at £5 each but I guess that's fine considering it's handmade. We paid extra for the stone polishing and that was worth it! The Museum was a nice touch too! Free car park was handy. We didn't realise it would be a steep walk up but I don't know what else they could have done about that, considering it's in a cavern! I guess it doesn't make it disabled friendly though. Great views at top and lots of benches to sit and view the peak district.

As a birthday treat, me and my mum visited Treak Cliff Cavern for their half day experience. We started the day with a self-guided tour of the cavern which was easy to follow and very informative. Once we’d finished the tour at our leisure we were greeted by Tim who explained that we would now have the chance to go back into the caves but this time in overalls and wellies to mine our own pieces of Blue John stone. Our expectation was that we would simply be given a piece of Blue John to polish so we were delighted that we could actually go into the caves and select our own piece. Returning to the workshop we then learned how to polish our pieces leaving us both with stunning pieces to take home. Tim was a fantastic guide and made the day so enjoyable. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made us laugh throughout the day. 100% could not recommend this more to anyone with an interest in history/geography/crystals or those who simply want a unique day out!

We chose this cavern due to the free parking and it looked more authentic rather than the gimmicks of others. It was a good experience walking around on our own taking our own time and it was informative about Blue John (about which we knew nothing before). It is a steep climb up stairs to it and you have to duck a lot during the tour but it is well worth it. Unfortunately for us there was no view when we exited as the rain and mist had descended

This cave is great fun. It's been run by the same family for decades, and the narrator of the audio tour, Vicky, shares the story of her son rediscovering the 'lost' vein of rare blue john stone. The story of the Ridley vein, the most recent one to be discovered, is also fascinating. The deposits of blue john are incredible - there's an entire pillar of it in the witch's cave! Some amazing stalactites and stalagmites as well. Having a person to guide you adds a certain je ne sais quoi, but I can't fault the experience. You get to see a pretty amazing display of fossils and stalactites outside the shop, there's a museum of blue john carvings, and the blue john is worked and polished here. I enjoyed chatting to the staff in the shop and cafe as well.

Had a great experience at Treak Cliff Cavern. Arrived slightly early for the 1000 booking and were allowed in a short time after another couple so it was not crowded. The audio guide is very informative and easy to use. Staff very friendly. Tour lasted around 45 mins and we were able to move through cave at our own pace. Definitely worth a visit.

Wow! So, once we had recovered from the climb up (lots of steps!) we spent some time looking at the displays in the welcome centre before checking in. We had pre-booked and downloaded the self guide app as recommended so following a brief outline by the really informative and professional staff member we quickly entered the cavern. The tour info is really good and ties in with markers en route. Even better, we literally were there by ourselves! We took our time to take it all in. So interesting and beautiful. Love the fact that our dog could be with us too. Emerging through the door to the stunning view topped it off wonderfully. Really worth a visit - free parking makes a difference as parking fees are the bane of our holiday experience in this area!

Me and my partner took our nine year old daughter as a last minute trip whilst we were in the area, we booked our tickets in the car park at the information centre further down the road and by the time we walked up they had already got us on the list. Really helpful staff and easy to understand app with lots of information that kept both grown ups and adults engaged. The staff were absolutely brilliant, it really felt like they couldn’t do enough to help. It was quite the walk up the hill but going into the cave was a welcome cooling experience. Thank you all!

Visited the Treak cliff cavern in late summer 2023. Booked tickets in advanced. Even though the family tickets cost 42, low cost 35 tickets were available in the early morning. So went with that. Parking free in front of the cave entrance. Nice audio guide available to download. Can explore the cave at our own pace. We spent around 30 minutes. After coming out of the cave we went in the trail towards Mum tor. However later we understood that Mum tor is easily accessible from main road easily. Feel it’s value for money.

Best cavern in Peak District. A bit of a walk to get to it,but such superb views are making up for it. So well arranged self guided tours. Used the app,ask reception to help you get it,is so much worth it!! Such a lovely place to visit. I will definitely recommend this to all my friends
