D	Dr. Adrian Sciberras on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place for a quick attraction - if you have a car it’s worth visiting.
M	Mehrdad Persian on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s one of my most favorite places in heb region! Although I would not suggest the touristic area they’ve created as it just seems like a tourist trap with more expensive entrance fee. From the bus stop walk 100m up the hill and you pay €1.5 for entrance and walk down the stairs to this beautiful area!
J	Jayesh Kothari on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was a fabulous experience Points to note: 1. Water in the George is chilled , please make sure u have woof quality gum boots or water shoes 2. We had to take a complete tour because we were traveling with our 2 year old son, don't take the tour please , just go for public transport interbus which will cost only ~5 euros return ticket and 1.5 euros for George entrance 3. Option of taking elevator or staircase (200 stairs) elevator is additional 6 euros 4. Go deep into George to completely enjoy the tour
A	Armin Stern on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A place where you can feel the power of water which formed the site. Very interesting especially im Summer when they offer different sport activities like body-rafting.
A	Augustė Ramanauskė on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful natural scenery with unusual rocks. Since it was raining few days the river was muddy, but it still looked pretty cool. Due to bad weather we didn't get in the water to walk further to see rock's formations, but I saw in some reviews that people do that in summer. Also, you can rent long gumboots at place if you don't want to get in the river barefoot. We didn't walk through the botanical garden so I can't say anything about it. I gave 3 stars because of stupid way people makes money out of nature's gems. Stairs to go down to river was closed that day for some reason (at the ticket office a guy said that he doesn't know why) therefore we needed to buy tickets for elevators for 6€/person instead of 1.5€/person.
L	Luka Zavrtanik on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A really amazing sight and a must see if you're in the area. There's a lot of tour options, but you can also go down by yourself and pay the 1.5€ admission. I also suggest you walk upstream into the gorge. You'll get your feet wet, but it will be worth it. I went barefoot, but many people had some sort of water shoes.
D	Dustin K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were there in the early morning. Together we have taken the "BASICTICKET" for 8 euros per person. After we bought the ticket we drove with the elevator according to Unteb. When we arrived at the bottom we found the mere nature again. Recommended are aqua shoes because the riverbed is very stony to rocky. Also, you should adjust that if you want to run the river high that it can be very cold for the legs and feet. So be careful. The flow is very strong after a few meters and can be dangerous. If you run down the river, you should also wear aqua shoes. There, the water is not quite as cold because there the sun is coming. You can run very far and but must consider that you have to go back. Unfortunately, this point is nothing for physically impaired people since there is no straight ground there. All in all, this place is highly recommended.
P	Pauline Yoong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic scenery and very cool place to spend hot summer. Very amazing lava formed walls and the water is very icy cold despite the hot summer. As the whole place is full of small stones and pebbles, the best is to wear diving shoes and not slippers, one of my slippers got washed away by the strong river currents twice and got rescued by kind people twice! The way down to the river is about 200 steps. Tickets can be bought just at the entrance at about 2 euro each, we also paid about 2 euro for the parking nearby. There are a couple of bars and restaurants where you can catch a bite and drink. There is a bar selling drinks and snacks on the way down the stairs but it's always crowded.
