Kents Cavern Ltd Reviews

Amazing experience!! Tour guide was brilliant at engaging the little ones! Would highly recommend.

Very knowledgeable and experienced tour guide. We also saw bats at the start of the tour.

If your looking for somewhere exciting to take the family, this it. Everyone is taken through the caverns with a knowledgeable tour guide. I wont spoil the fun for you but there is some excitement for everyone. Absolute must see when in Torquay. Food and drinks are expensive so take a pack lunch

Guided tour is very detailed interesting and informative. Not a place for babies as no stimulation and long times standing in one place in the Cark looking at the rocks.

A good place to visit and great tour guide ( Simon ) would have loved to have more time in the caverns and maybe a little cheaper considering the tour was just under an hour long, we were only on a short break from Cornwall so we had to cram in a lot of places in our time in Torquay.

Spent a great afternoon here. Tour of caves was about an hour, and Alan, the guide was really informative, and included interesting bits for the kids. Our son can struggle with the dark, but managed it - kids 6 and above would enjoy it. Definitely worth a visit. Also woodland trail, nice cafe, and exhibition area. Staff all really friendly - Ursula was particularly kind to our son.

Tour guide a+ the caves we more in depth in our history than I thought

Had an amazing day out dave was hilarious a few loud children but didn't detract to much learnt a lot and hope to be back one day

Interesting place to visit, guide to a really good too..

Amazing place, tour guide was funny and great information delivered

A fascinating place with some impressive geological features and an interesting social history.

Great place good tour guide. But staff in cafe need to learn how to smile aliitle

The guide was entertaining good place for a few hours out

Excellent caves, good tour guide and nice cafe for lunch.

I thought I'd be claustrophobic but it was great and so interesting bought a few gifts too

Amazing place with a guide who has tons of knowledge. Fair price at a tenner

Great, good caves, tour guide was lovely, bubbly fun n informative.

Amazing place. Tour gives you lots of information. Worth a visit.

Spectacular attraction. Arrived half an hour before our tour so had tea in the cafe. Staff at ticket till and cafe very friendly. Small tour group taken by Katie who was very interesting and so tour lasted an hour as she was happy to answer questions afterwards. Well worth a visit

Great experience. The guide was so enthusiastic he made the caves come alive. Well worth a visit

Excellent tour given by Cara - thank you. Made it very interesting and enjoyable with plenty of chances to ask questions. Covid secure and highly recommended.

Very impressive ghost tour - scary and funny and the acting was superb - brilliant fun xx

We have been here before. The caves are just excellent! This year though the guide was very good - Simon. He made it even better. We noticed the staff being very friendly too and putting themselves out for people . The kids enjoyed everything including the outside trial.. They also loved becoming members of the tribe and having their faces painted. We enjoyed the cream tea in the cafe - just loved the savoury version of it with cheese scones and pickle.

Is a nice place high up and have a lovely view. The photo I have is not of the inside but of the view. They have a tour on the other side of the caves history and artifacts from thousands of years ago. It is also a nice place to get afternoon tea.

Fantastic day out. Our tour guide was amazing, knowledgeable, and funny. Rare for a poor student his words. Haha. Well worth a visit for a few hours.

What an amazing day out, we bought the cave experience for two which included lunch. The tour was excellent, staff are so friendly and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend this to everyone

Fabulous first time we have been Holly our guide was excellent in explaining everything

Amazing and well worth the money. Alan was friendly funny and knowledgeable pleasure to to meet him

A must visit when in Torquay. Staff are very helpful.

A
Must see.

Interesting place. Knowledgeable tour guides. Not really suitable for smaller children though.

As long as you avoid the restaurant and going into the caves themselves then the place is okay, however you have to pay for parking (tourist trap) and you get nickle and dimed for everything!!

Especially great for kids.
But even as an adult too.
The food menu is mediteranian style and would reccommend it.
Gardens are pretty too.

Interesting tour with an enthusiastic guide. We visited during the Covid period and felt that social distancing and hygiene were managed well.

Has always we are never disappointed when we visited this time we brought our 6 year old granddaughter who loved it she loved Ella the tour guide ,Ella was so good with everyone really a lovely enjoyable day

Really interesting! If you love ancient places then this is for you. Needs to be booked.

Really great place to go... tour was very well presented and social distancing arrangements very good... Cream teas after went down really well.

Bern here twice now. It is a must if you are stopping near to Torquay and you haven't visited before. These are the best caves that I have seen in the UK. DO NOT pay to go to see Stumpcriss Caverns in Yorkshire! They are expensive and a tiny poor exhibition in comparison to Kents Caverns

Our guides ability to convey history and science effectively and adding a few jokes into the mix made this an excellent experience overall. The food (Chai Latte and Cake) was top notch too.
The only let down was activities advertised on website for kids either had no one around to engage with the kids or was so basic that the kids don't like it. The walking trail and searching for gems were a complete letdown. If they can sort this out, it will be a 5* experience.

Nice little trip into the caverns. Beautiful. Marred only by the fact that the Devon cream teas lacked a fruit scone option. Plain scones may be to some people's tastes but not mine. Not mine I say. I hope this can be sorted out for the benefit of future visitors. I may return myself in future should this be rectified promptly

Our first time and it's a very interesting tour of the cave. The tour guide was great and informative

Ghost tour was a bit cheesy and short. Pay and Display parking was a bit of a cheek.

Great place. Very interesting, engaging and beautiful. Local deal is very good when it is on.

Really interesting visit, gets a bit chilly so pop a coat on

A wonderful experience. Just 2 of us were given a guided tour by David. What an amazing place and David brought its history to life. Highly recommend a visit.

Good experience and very interesting to visit. Tour guide was funny and friendly and get the visit interesting. I would have appreciated a but more time to look around but it was good anyway.

Been a visit to this cave system. Its just as interesting a Cheddar gorge but on a smaller scale. Its nice to find out about who lived in Illsham valley 10's of thousands of years ago before some of the current famous residents. Relaxing tour. Not one you want to rush. Some outdoor gardens and scenic woodland walks nearby. Not far from the scenic Meadfoot beech road and famous landmark Thatcher Rock.

One of he best caves I've visited. Lots of history behind it and its pathway is steady and generally even all the way along so no having to worry too much about tripping over random rocks

V impressive cave system with an informative guide, definitely worth a visit :)

A great day out, really interesting and the guide got the kids involved.

Our tour guide was super, very knowledgeable and made our visit fun. I wasnt a great fan of being uunder ground but the tour was very interesting

As a former Torbay resident, after about 25 years this was my first visit to Kents Cavern - it was a shame I hadn't seen it sooner! The caves have a fascinating story behind them and there is plenty to see and do for all ages. Our guide for the tour Michael was very thorough and entertaining to the mixed group we had, giving us lots of interesting facts and jokes along the way. Although I did not visit the restaurant it was clean and there appeared to be a good range of reasonably priced food and drink. 1 star is knocked off as parking is payable and the toilets appeared to be in need of an upgrade. Overall a very enjoyable visit and somewhere I'd recommend for all ages.

An insightful tour by Simon was what made this place more adorable.

Very interesting place, make sure you book the tour though.

Absolutely loved the tour. Our guide David was brilliant. I'd 100% recommend this.

Fantastic. Loved hearing the history of the caves. Really interesting tour. Not good for small children though. Not really for under about 4 years old. Cold & dark in places. Not suitable for buggys although you can take them.

Superb Halloween Ghost tour. Very well thought out and believable stories delivered by enthusiastic and capable actors.

The caverns were well lit and the tour guide was interesting and knowledgeable. The tour itself lasted a full hour and took in plenty of interesting information and caves. The mascot of the caverns, Cavog the caveman, was great with the kids and posed for pics, occasionally chasing the adults and having fun which added to the charm of the place. The 'added extras' of the brass rubbing area, tribal mask decorating, fossil finding and woodland trail were great for our kids (3 and 5). We had 50% discount vouchers through the andrex puppy points promo which kept the cost down. There's a cafe on site which we didn't try but looked pretty busy. The staff were great with the kids.

Our tour guide was great, answered all our questions and was very friendly. Had a good couple of hours there

Such a wonderful time, very informative and David was incredibly witty and made it so much more enjoyable. All the other staff we came into contact with was just as friendly.

Tour guide was very friendly , factual .It was a hot day so was nice cool enviroment .

Correct but in no way spectacular. I have found the ticket for what they offer

Very good place to visit and to see the caves as well as the ghost tours that they do wow boo

Really enjoyed my visit to the caves excellent tour guide David made it extremely interesting,wasn't sure I'd actually enjoy it as I'm not over struck on being closed in but it was fine,anyone who didn't like it could be taken out after a quick phone call was made I stayed through the whole tour which I'm so glad I did would highly recommend

Brilliant tour, our tour guide David was very funny and informative. The kids loved it!

A nice relaxed tour of the caves. The tour lasted around 45mins and felt a bit rushed is my only criticism. The tour guide was lovely and engaged the small crowd well . Sitting in the garden with a cider was a good start to the trip.

Creat time spent under ground, tour guide was very good ( joel ) . Would recommend a vist, very interesting time.
