    Our tour with Dani was outstanding. His English was perfect but more importantly, he was very interesting and able to engage all of us with humour. The quality of the facsimile is exceptional and is really good at helping you to understand why precious art like this needs to be recreated - us humans just destroy everything to satisfy our our own desire is the lesson. Anyway, completely recommend!

    Wow this was an amazing museum and artfully done. Went during low season so we practically had the sites to ourselves.

    The site is very impressive but it doesn't cater for international audiences as well as it could do. We were given tablets with English guides on them but the software was badly implemented. When following the tour if you moved to the wrong part of the cave it switched to the next audio before the last part finished with no way to go back. There was als no visual guide during the cave part. The interactive AR parts were also a bit flakey too. It's also worth noting the outside toilets have no paper, or soap, and some didn't have locks.

    The replica cave was built to protect the original from pollution from people and light. So why not turn up the lights in the replica so the paintings can be seen? Our guide used a small pointer...
