Kents Cavern Ltd Reviews

What a fantastic interesting tour!! Dave was great and my 7 year old son was so excited to be given the torch and lead the tour for a short while.

Awesome adventure into the ancient caves my kids loved it , will be back again for more discovery s.

Very interesting for the whole family, access only with guide possible, but only in English. There is however on request a sheet in German with explanations.

Absolutely fantastic great tour guide definitely a must

Really nice guided tour. Excellent history and just amazing inside friendly staff would visit again from Australia.

If you want a magical experience at Christmas this is the best place in torquay. Worth every penny and great for all the family

I really loved this. It was quite wonderful to see and knowing you're wandering around somewhere with so much history was quite special. I think our tour guide was Dave? He was really engaging and funny. Very knowledgeable. If you want something to do for an hour and learn some new things it's definitely worth it. The cafe was clean and they had some decent choices. They also have a woodland walk for kids and the facilities are decent. Thanks to their guides we also went for an impromptu wander around the nearby costal walks which was a great way to spend the afternoon! Recommended.

This venue is a must! We have been coming to Torquay for decades and never realised that there were caves!! We had a good good so that made the trip. Although you go underground and the paths can be wet, boots are not necessary because there are no puddles on the them.

This is an amazing place to visit, lovely and cool on a hot day. The guide who did our tour was very good, and made it fun.

Very interesting, especially the history of the place as told by the guide.

Lovely place, 45 minute tour is not too long, not too short. Simon is Devons version of Indiana Jones.... minus the hat.

So worth it, the guide was fabulous not great if you are not sure of foot you could struggle but fantastic place with gift and coffee shop.

I visited over 10 years ago and loved it. My recent visit was as enjoyable. Great experience and an informative guide. Friendly and helpful staff in the gift shop.

Great tour guide, Very informative and friendly. Though Mahira, you did laff at your own jokes more than we did, you did a great job in explaining things and we were pleased to have had your expertise. Made the guide a great experience in More

Absolutely fantastic tour. David our guide made sure everybody was fully evolved and nothing missed.

Great tour, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Cave floor has been concreted so no there is no risk of tripping.
Highly recommend.

Loved this, was a great experience, our little girl had such a great time after she got over being scared from the sound and light show.

Great place to visit for all the family. Entertaining and informative tour.

Good to visit especially if you have children. We didn't, but still found it interesting.

Interesting and funny tour guide without going to far into cheesy, very interesting to see early human activity which paints a great picture of what it would have been like. Not the best looking cavern I've been to but it's much more about the history with this one.

Very interesting, I liked how the staff were really nice

We were on the last tour of the day (4pm), our guides David and Sarah were really informative, engaging and friendly. The caverns aren't that extensive but it takes about an hour to complete the tour as a result of the amount of history and Information to be absorbed. The floor is smooth and not challenging. Whilst there are a few steps in the cavern itself it's largely accessed by gentle ramps. The attached cafe and gift shop are nice too but all in all it's not somewhere you can really spend more than a couple of hours.

Very good tour interesting and nice and cool! Gift shop was very reasonable! And lovely staff!!

It was a great experience and Ellie, our tour guide was great!

Had a lovely time at the winter wonderland tour .Issy our guide was brilliant. She was so good with our 3 year old grandson and handled our 10 month baby grandaught having a cry now and then . There trees and lights in the cave were lovely More

Very educational, the guide ollie was great dealt with annoying kids!

We have come to Kents Cavern every year for the last 3 years. The kids love it, it's like "smuggled learning" disguised in the excitement of cave exploring. The guides are super knowledgeable and have been there a long time. The wilderness garden is an added bonus. Going during covid19 took nothing away from the experience at all and the team did a fantastic job making sure we were all socially distanced - without being impersonal. Our family will be back!

We're rounding up to 4 rather than down to 3 (other half is too nice). We got stuck with a bunch of screaming 3 year olds, it's not suitable for that young. Guide was knowledgeable but had probably done the same spiel too many times. He also apologised in advance for referring to evolution. Don't apologise for acknowledging the fact of evolution, do you apologise for the theory of gravity?! Maybe explain to god squad that theory has multiple meanings and in the scientific community theory doesn't mean what people think it does.

Fantastic guided walk through by Alfie, I love me a good dad joke, and his were non stop! Very entertaining and informative - even for a law student. It is quite chilly, so I'd suggest a jacket. It's a shame the tour was only an hour long, but well worth a visit. By far the best place we've been to on the south coast of Devon.

Derry was a fantastic tour guide. Great for the whole family

The caves were brillant we took are 3year old daughter didnt think it was suitable for young children more for the adults or older children from about 9 upwards the one negitive thing is the staff in the cafe were very rude and abrupt but are tour guide was lovely but all in all great day out

Absolutely loved this place, great place for all the family, best tour really informative. Food was good too.

A very lovely day out for the family. Our tour of the cave was made very enjoyable by our lovely tour guide. If you don't have kids then in an evening you can experience a ghost tour of the cave, they recommend no one under 8 for that tour. There is also a lot of activities here for kids including finding your own gems and that parts free/ inexpensive!

Couldn't fault Kents Cavern. Fascinating caves, polite helpful staff and great reasonably priced food. Definitely recommend a visit even if just for coffee and cake

Me and my husband enjoyed the tour round the caves a good morning out restaurant was very nice to

Amazing caves. Thousands of years of history. Amazing rock formations and layers. Great for kids with activities and hints for them to do in surrounding nature tracks/gardens. Ghost tours in evenings for anyone interested.

A return visit after 15 years. An amazing experience and so much for the kids to do

Great experience, learnt lots of new things and brightened up a wet and miserable day outside!! Thank you to our guide Daniel for being fantastic too!!

Great place to visit lots to see kids and adults will love it

Interesting cavern with some nice items. Not really big but that gives it a nice feeling.

Watched a promenade style production of a mid summer night's dream through the caves - awesome!

Really interesting tour of prehistoric caves. Well worth a visit for all ages. Our tour guide Alfie was fun and informative.

A guided tour by Allan was most welcome. Interesting educating and certainly not boring. Well worth the time effort and cost. Thank you.

It's a must to visit great tours great people very informative so lovely we have beautiful places in the UK

Great place to go. Some of the rarest finds in these caves. Doesn't take long to get around and worth the trip especially with relatively small children.

The guides are so enthusiastic and really make the experience one to remember

The caves themselves are mind blowing

Wonderful guided tour with lots of interesting detail

What an amazing place, the tour was really interesting, learned loads, there's plenty for the kids to do and it's not too expensive. Recommend you visit if you are in the area.

Great place for adults and children that enjoy prehistoric history. Great cafe on site too.

We went there on the rainy day of the weekend, and got a bit scared of the amount of people as the place was packed with people. After considering a while and realising we had nothing better to do, we chose to go ahead with the tour even though there was a 50 min waiting time. We decided to get some lunch in the cafeteria and it was really good! The actual your had a cap of people which made it very pleasant. The tour guide was a young girl with unpolished jokes so that took a bit of the charm away but it was still worth the money.

There are parking and eating here, and the wonders are really worth visiting.

Super little place this. Very educational, great tour with incredible place to get food.

Fascinating history. Great informative tours of the caves.

Really great fun. Wonderful place for a kids party!

Loved the caves but the cider wasn't great. Kids didn't like the witches but all in all a very nice day out.

Really enjoyed our visit to Kents cavern today, the tour around the caves was very informative. Our tour guide Holly was really funny and knowledgable, it was a very enjoyable experience.

Lovely experience for all ages. Very friendly staff. Super tour guide - Alfie. Toilets are spotless and the cafe served delicious food. Very much worth a visit. Thank you.

Been twice now. Love the place. Staff are very friendly and are great with the children. Tours of the cavern are very informative and cater for all ages, even pushchairs!

Great way to go through caves as almost on one level with wide level path to walk on

Nice cave. Convenient to commit. All broad corridors. Unfortunately, the tour is shorter than indicated. 45 instead of 60 minutes.

We visited Kent's Cavern just after the lockdown ended and were lucky enough to be the only visitors on the tour on a chilly Sunday morning. Our guide Izzy was extremely knowledgeable and certainly knew how to keep us interested whilst we marvelled at the cave. Yes, it's decorated for Christmas but the cave itself is absolutely the main attraction. Be sure to wear sensible shoes/boots and if you are 6'1 like me - watch your head in places! Thank you Izzy for a wonderful tour of the cave and wishing everyone at Kent's Cavern a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Very good caravan was very clean and comfortable accommodation and facilities

I went to pick up my Annual pass that I purchased online, & as it was quiet, i decided to stay for the last tour of the day & am so pleased I did!

The staff are so friendly as I was made to feel welcome the moment I walked through the door, the shop has lots of little souvenirs & the cafe looks lovely, & has a nice view out the window with an outside seating area for the summer season.

Ollie our guide was great as he took us round, his knowledge is amazing about the history of these caves which are truly outstanding, I can't believe in the 25 years I have been going to Devon, I have never visited them until today.

We were allowed to take photos whenever we wanted to, but out of respect I waited until Ollie had finished talking, ( which is why I missed out on so many good photographs)!

The whole tour lasted a full hour, then we were allowed to look around the last section alone, but could ask questions about it if we were unsure of anything, there was no ushering us out even though it was all now closed for the day.

I really did enjoy this visit & look forward to going back again soon, Ollie said there are lots of other guides & each one does the tour differently, so I may go on a different one next time, but this one was special.

Very informative! Super impressive! All whilst staying distanced and safe.

Visited today show around a 45 minutes tour with Amy. Fantastic

Fantastic tour
Ursula showed us around the caves today. Amazing caves! Ursula was clearly very passionate about the caves and their origins. This showed through in what was a fascinating dive into both local and global history. So much so it has inspired our son to look into taking archaeology as an option.

Really great guide, fabulous caves -well worth a visit. Shame the finds are kept elsewhere and that there isn't a museum onsite.

enjoyed my day at the caverns with our guide Tom thank you, very well organised and interesting, nice little shop at the end and reasonably priced gifts, cafe was also good nice staff highly recommended thank you.

Perfect attraction for outgoing families. Fascinating history/pre-history.

Great tour, very informative tour guide. Good shop and cafe. A good few hours.

Clearly a team that love what they do, the tour was really good, great presentation with infectious enthusiasm that helps get the information across.

Simulating the clam-shell-candle and darkness of the cave was great too.

Both child and parents thoroughly enjoyed it. Would certainly come again.

Great care to be Covid safe was taken and appreciated too.

Very well organised, lots to do and a great tour by our guide James.
