An awesome experience to learn about the extensive history of the caves. It was fun, educational and entertaining. Make sure you wear good shoes. It’s great for the superstitious and the just a little stitious people too. We arrived right at the perfect time to get on the tour at the top of the hour, so there was very little wait. Taz was an AMAZING tour guide, probably the best. He should have his own cult following.

Chislehurst Caves is a very interesting place that offers an unusual, atmospheric experience. The ticket man was a bit cold and reserved, while our tour guide made a little show by interacting with our group of adults and kids. The caves are an endless maze — we’ve only seen a tiny bit of it, and still, what we saw was very impressive.

Really enjoyed the visit to Chislehurst Caves. It’s quite a unique experience and definitely not your typical day out. The guided tour is the highlight. Ours was really engaging, with a good mix of history and a few interesting stories along the way. Walking through with the lamps adds to the atmosphere as well, makes it feel a bit more real. It’s surprisingly vast down there, even though you only see part of it. At times it’s a bit eerie, but in a good way. Worth noting you can’t wander around on your own, but honestly it makes sense once you’re down there. Overall, a really interesting place and well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

I recently visited Chislehurst Caves and had a fantastic experience. The caves themselves are absolutely fascinating — full of history, atmosphere, and stories that really bring the place to life. Walking through the tunnels feels like stepping back in time. A big part of what made the visit so enjoyable was our tour guide, Alex. He was funny, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared so much interesting information in a way that was easy to follow and genuinely entertaining. You could tell he was passionate about the history of the caves, and that enthusiasm made the whole tour even better. He struck the perfect balance between being informative and keeping things lighthearted, which made the experience memorable. I would highly recommend visiting. However, it was a shame that during the tour there were several young children crying and causing disruptions. Because the tour is so informative and detailed, it’s important to be able to clearly hear what’s being explained. At times, it was difficult to catch everything Alex was saying due to the noise. Personally, I think it would improve the experience for everyone if there were an age guideline — perhaps not allowing children under 10 — as the tour really requires attention and listening to fully appreciate it. Overall, it was a brilliant visit, made especially enjoyable by an excellent guide. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in history and a unique underground adventure.

Super little tour around these privately owned caves. Date from about 8000yrs ago, but most of the mining of limestone (of which these caves are made) occurred in the 12th and 19th centuries i believe, and acted as an air raid shelter, as well as living space for some (for upto 150,000 people or more at its peak during World War 2). Good if you have a couple of hours at hand...interesting. Knowledgeable guides.
