  • A great tour, our guide, Lizzy was very knowledgeable. She did a great job answering everyone's questions, and giving us plenty of time to enjoy the cavern.. I highly recommend this place.

  • This was a very nice tour through a cave. We had the opportunity to taste the water that flows through there and was the freshest water I’ve ever tasted. Our guide, Chance,was very knowledgeable...

  • Our second time coming back. Last time was about 7 years ago. Always a great experience. The rock formations are amazing!! The underground river is awesome, with water so pure you can even drink it. The best part was in the “Great Room” when they shut off all the lights. Pure darkness. Our tour guide was Chance and he was very informative. Lots of stairs for sure but well worth it.
  • I'm not sure where to begin with my experience At Tuckaleechee Caverns besides saying it was such an amazing experience! I'd highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide Brandy was the perfect guide for this adventure. Her enthusiasm and countless puns made for a very memorable day. I've walked through a few caves in my life but nothing like this. Oh, and wait till she turns the lights out! A very calming and peaceful experience in itself. Also the echoing in the caves are neat too. I will walk this tour again one day. Thank you so much TC and Brandy for an unforgettable experience!
