To be honest I had higher expectations. Guide was nice but it was not a great tour except for the fact of seeing the "spots" you are supposed to. We were always in a hurry and many photo spots were missed. Also, not very specific facts during the tour. You could probably do the same by yourself using Google Lens to walk you through it.

Our guide was Yana, she is a real professional! We learned a lot about the caves, temples and the life of the monks of this place. I must admit, it was a little scary to go a few meters underground. For those who are claustrophobic, I don't recommend doing this. And the rest will see the coffins of monks that are thousands of years old. The tour does not last long - only a couple of hours, but we really enjoyed getting in touch with the history of this sacred place. Be sure to climb the bell tower and visit the microminiature museum as well.
