100% Recommend! - My husband and I did the Express Tolantongo Hot Springs tour and had such an amazing experience! It was the perfect full day of relaxation and adventure. One of the best parts was getting there early enough to enjoy the hot springs before the crowds arrived. The caves and waterfalls were absolutely beautiful and felt surreal in person. Lunch was also delicious and a great addition to the day. Our tour guide Aline was incredible, she was so organized, kind, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. We had the best time and would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mexico City!

Highlight of our trip - absolutely worth it! - Incredible experience! I went with my 11 year old daughter, and we had a fantastic time. Our tour guide, Ara, provided pick up instructions the day before and was very responsive with my questions. She made the entire experience seamless and fun. I would 100% recommend this excursion. Don’t let the early pickup and 3-hour travel time deter you. It’s an unforgettable experience!
P.S. Water shoes and a waterproof case for your phone are essentials! You will want them.

Gerry and Mario 5 stars!!! First to arrive at hot springs! - We booked this trip on a Monday. It was amazing! Our tour guide Gerry and driver Mario were exceptional. Mario got us from point A to B safely and quickly (especially with those steep cliffs, he mastered is like a pro). Gerry was prompt with pickup and stayed in communication prior to the trip. He knew much history and was very personable. His high energy really got us in the zone especially early at 8am when we arrived to the hot springs. With this group we were the first ones to arrive prior to all the other groups. He made sure everyone had a great time while being safe. Would definitely book this trip as you can tell he really has a passion for the hot springs and hospitality. Couldn’t have picked a better tour to book with. Thank you for everything!!

Definitely worth every penny!! - This experience was one of a kind! Definitely worth the 3 hr drive. Being in a small group made the experience more intimate. Even though we went on a Sunday and it was busier than usual, we still managed to enjoy and navigate the hot springs with ease. I would totally recommend booking with this tour group!

Wonderful Time - This was a great time. The tour guide was very friendly and explained all that was required of us to have a good time throughout. It is a full day so be prepared to be on the go. The natural spring was amazing (the views and pictures I was able to get!!). The food at the restaurant was delicious (I got the fried fish). Don't hesitate to book with them.
