    Brilliant
    Have been to the marbel arch caves many times for tours, caving and walks but the best time were we were there was at the Halloween trail. Ciara introduced and explained how the trail was going to work, her friendly personality and helpfulness really made the trip worthwhile. Will be back for lots more

    Fantastic family trip
    Really enjoyed our tour of the caves. Our guide, Jordan, was engaging and knowledgeable. He told us the history of the first cave explorers and took the time to point out all the formations and how they were formed. Lovely coffee shop, visitor centre and gift shop. Only one electric car charger though!

    Great day..cafe a rip off
    Great day in the caves. Really interesting and mind blowing walk through the caves! Darragh the tour guide was very passionate and knew his stuff. The only gripe I have is Lilly Anne’s, the on-site coffee franchise. Earlier in the week the same brands is in Ulster American folk park = what a rip off. I don’t blame the girls that reheat the food, or serve it, I maybe don’t blame the complex for having them on-site. But…if you’re going to charge a kings ransom, atleast have the decency to supply quality, value for money food! If you go here, forget your mortgage payments for a month or bring a picnic! Shame

    Great personalised experience for all the family
    Victor was an amazing tour guide. He made the experience so personal to myself & my two children (aged 11 and 14). He was very friendly and took the Time to chat to us and get to know us. He told us all the stories about each part of the caves and took plenty of photos of us. My son was allowed to set a frog free at the end of our tour. This experience was way better than I had anticipated and I would definitely recommend it to families and couples alike.

    Definitely worth a visit
    My family and I visited the caves during mid term break and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide Darragh was great. He was so enthusiastic and informative about all the different features of the caves and gave everyone lots of chances to ask any questions they may have had. Highly recommend visiting.

    A hidden gem! Not to be missed!
    Geoff, myself and our 6 month old daughter Matilda where fortunite enough to stumble across this amazing tour through the marble arch caves of northern Ireland, our tour guide, Victor, was absolutely brilliant. As this was unplanned we where a little worried that having our baby with us would be an issue but Victor put us at ease right away, taking the time to take family photos for us, allowed us to take time and care through the cave without feeling rushed and answered our many questions as we became enchanted with all the beautiful, mystical imagery surrounding us. Highly recommended and if your lucky enough to have Victor as your guide.....you have struck gold! Thanks again! The Harrison family x

    Underground magic
    The tour is really well designed, with plenty of wow factor. It’s an underground fantasy world. When I reemerged, I felt like I had been in a different time and space. The tour guide Gareth was informative, considerate and entertaining.

    Great morning visit
    Loved the caves and our guide Maeve was very knowledgeable. It's pretty chilly down there but we were advised of this prior to arrival so we were well wrapped up. A lot of stairs so maybe not suitable for small children. Really interesting tour and would advise anyone visiting the area to check it out

    Impresive sight seeing that I did not expect .
    Awesome place to see from my perspective as I dont go to places like this alot . Didnt even know that there are such big caves in Ireland and dont regret going to them . The only bad thing might be there is not much time to take photos but otherwise everything was perfect. Tour guide was also realy good , her name was Ciara.

Amazing trip to the caves, very cold day I. December but less cold underground! The guide Kieran was fantastic in keeping the right level of safety conscious information and humour, as well as his knowledge, fantastic trip and even though the boats were off today (low water levels) we didn’t feel short changed. Also walked around the kids Elf trail and this was so thoughtfully laid out well done to there organisers. This is a MUST visit destination if you anyway close by. Thanks all.

This was FIRST ever cave visit. WOW! What an amazing experience. The boat ride in particular was really neat at the beginning of the tour and the remainder was equally interesting. Our group of eight adults really enjoyed the adventure. Would highly recommend!

Well organised and led ( in our case, by Ciara) tour along the underground river system and through some spectacular chambers.

The Marble Arch cave tour was spectacular. The views were otherworldly, and our guide Adam really made the experience even more vivid and compelling, telling us facts about how the caves were formed and first explored. He moved at the perfect pace, allowing us to take pics and fully explore each area.

I highly recommend a visit to Fermanagh. When you do go make sure to add Marble Arch caves to your agenda — the staff are all so friendly and knowledgable.

It was a very entertaining yet educational experience. The cave was beautiful, magical and mesmerizing. I would love to come back again.

Adam our tour guid walked us at our own pace, answered all our questions and told all about the cave formation, exploration history and modern day discoveries of different cave entrances. He was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and very helpful. We loved his tour!

From the west coast of the states and had drivin 2+ hours to get to the caves. Arrived to find out the caves were flooded because of recent storms. However, they said if a guide was around they could show us as much as they could. Insert Victor our guide. He was super knowledgeable, friendly, and pretty much gave us the quick and dirty tour, but it was above and beyond considering the flooding and safety issues. Seeing the caves at flood stage was a rare treat and we really appreciated the staff and Victor accommodating us! Thank you! 5 outta 5!

My travel buddy and I came in a bit late and the caves were actually flooded, so no full tour. However, Victor gave an abbreviated tour of the areas that were accessible. He was an incredibly great tour guide! We learned a lot about the cave, the river and the surrounding mountains. Really interesting! Thanks Victor!!
