Simply amazing! - This was absolutely amazing! It was such a unique and beautiful experience. The drive was long but very worth it. The pools, caves, and river were all wonderful and our guide (Aaron) was very knowledgeable, kind, and fun. Our driver (Fernando) was excellent and very pleasant, even brought toilet paper for us and kept our belongings safe during the times when our bags could not go with us. I would 1000% do this trip again and I very highly recommend Aaron as your guide! I felt very safe and it was all around a fantastic experience!

Convenient and carefree experience - All instructions were clear from the guide (Cecilia) and she kept us updated on the itinerary throughout the day. She let us roam free to explore the river and the pools etc..and was always punctual whenever we needed to reconvene. It is definitely an entire day commitment (from 630am to 830pm) which wasn’t entirely clear in the advert for the tour.

Tolantongo beautiful!!! - I went on the recommendation of unx friend and decided to spend my birthday there. The place is amazing!! Cecilia and Fernando were great company during the trip back and forth. Although the trip is heavy when returning after seeing the whole park. Fernando and Cecilia took us for some snacks for the road and during the road, we talked very much. During the stay of the park we could see the caves, we were a good time in the pools and finally visited the river! Cecilia always guiding us and very good talks. The truth would repeat this experience! I highly recommend!

Fun Tour With Incredibly Beautiful Views! - I heard about this tour from a friend and had always wanted to go to las Grutas de Tolantongo. I took it as a sign that it was time for me to finally go and I was NOT disappointed! First of all, my tour guide Ce was so cute and helpful! I was a little nervous during some moments because the road to get to the Grutas is through the mountains and I have a fear of heights. Ce was super reassuring the entire time and our driver Fernando was very professional and nice as well. Las Grutas are IMPRESSIVE and the area is incredibly beautiful. The other tourists on my trip were super friendly as well. If I had to describe the trip in two words, they would be: GOOD VIBES. The tour is totally worth it.

I wish it was longer. The... - I wish it was longer. The trip was splendid and I didn’t want it to end. Cecilia was an amazing tour guide. The hot springs were not too busy and we were able to enjoy various pools. Cecilia also guided us through a cave, that was my favorite part.

Amazing Day at Grutas de la Tortengo! - We had the best time with Fernando and Ramon! They were so friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole day fun and easy. The hot springs were gorgeous with lots of spots to relax, and the area itself was absolutely stunning. We ate delicious food, soaked in the beauty all around us, and left feeling so grateful for the experience. Highly recommend!
