Dear MauriceAG,Thank you for writing this review! Great that you have brought your friends from Norway! We hear that a lot of our visitors are from the Maastricht Region, but have never visited the Caves (or Casemates / Fort St. Pieter). Good to hear that you thought the tour was fun and interesting!Kind Regards,The Maastricht Underground Team

Dear Shmaggle,Thank you for visiting us and writing this review! Good that you mention that people with limited mobility may struggle with the climb up from the boat to the cave entrance. We do provide other possibilities for these guests (please contact us via info@maastrichtunderground.nl). We hope you and your children had a nice time in Maastricht and the Caves! Kind Regards,Team Maastricht Underground

My husband and I recently went on the English tour of the St. Pietersburg caves. We were both quite impressed! I have only visited natural caves, so it was interesting to see a man-made cave. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and humourous, as well. The tour provided a unique look into the history of Maastricht, as we learned about limestone mining and the use of the tunnels during WWII. There are some fabulous charcoal drawings in the caves, as well! The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because I felt the tour was too short. I wish they had offered a longer tour. By the way, there is a small cafe on the premises which has excellent food!

I study in Maastricht, but I take anyone who comes for a visit on this tour. It is a very interesting tour. It is a combination of an adventure with history. The tour guides are funny and well prepared they keep people engaged. The nice thing about these tours is that they are elaborate. Each time a guide feels like telling you something new or taking you to a new part of the tunnels. You will never get bored as there is always something to learn more.

Even though I live in Maastricht, whenever I receive visitors, we always come to visit the caves. The caves at St.Pietersberg and the guided tour offer a great insight into the history of Maastricht. Thanks to tours also being conducted in English, I don't have to translate which lets me enjoy the tour and learn something new every time I go.The view from the St.Pietersberg is also very nice to look across Maastricht. I highly recommend the tours to get a good understanding about the area.

so very interesting...hiding place since the very early times of Maastricht. See 30th Infantry and other wall paintings. Tour of caves can be scary and very-very dark!
