The guide was hwlpfyl in giving us tips on what to see. However there was confusion about where to meet and what time our ticket was for. There waa no audio guide. We felt we paid too much above the official price and so didn't get value for our money.

We got the tickets but did not meet the person at the meetup point, only went ourselves to the entrance. A bit confusing but all went smooth.

Visiting the place feels like entering a magical dimension. The paths, the caves, the fairy-tale architecture, etc. are absolutely worth the visit. In two hours you manage to visit the five main points of interest. The escort who greeted us and handed us the tickets was very kind and gave us some useful directions on the route to follow, as well as some basic knowledge about the place.
