We did the cave tour at least once a year every year as a kid. Hubby and I went a couple seasons and did the cave. I was greatly disappointed and we've been a bit soured and not done it again since. There were more people on the tour than I've ever remembered. The guide stopped at the bottom and gave the entire cave spiel for the first half of the cave. We then walked rushed through, not stopping to see anything. Got halfway, gave the spiel for the rest and rushed through the final half of the cave. I could have personally given a cave tour that was 10 times better than that and with more stories. That being said, I would like to do the lantern tour simply because you get to see a different section of the cave. But we seldom stay late enough in the day for that.
