Nice experience with rich food - It is a simple tour in terms of physical effort. The waterfall site is accessed through a path with several spaced and wide steps. We recommend going on the 9 am tour because you will enjoy the space without crowds, especially if it is on weekdays. Our guide Demetrio was very friendly and with High Availability (in covers) in giving us time to take pictures, inspect the area and even enter along the small shops that are located before entering the waterfall area itself. It is beautiful to see the rock formation that is generated with the fall of water over the years. The area remains very clean and the efforts of the tenants and the authorities to maintain such a pleasant space are appreciated. At the end of the tour, our guide took us to a magical town called Santiago that also looks clean and beautiful. We went to eat at a restaurant that is also a hotel and spa, called Las Palomas. The restaurant is spacious, fresh, clean and the food is delicious with very reasonable prices. It was a beautiful day thanks to the kindness and interest of Demetrio because we had a nice time. Super recommended.

Beautiful morning in the mountains - We were lucky to have Emmanuel as a tour guide. He picked us up on time in a clean car and told us all about the history of Monterrey. He got some great pictures of us at the waterfall and in the “Magic Village” we stopped at afterwards. We had afternoon plans and Emmanuel was very accommodating in modifying the tour based on our needs. Would definitely recommend!

This tour was fantastic,... - This tour was fantastic, and I would highly recommend it! We were picked up on time by our guide, Deme, who took us to the waterfall. Along the way, he provided interesting information about the area and answered all our questions. At the Cola de Caballo Waterfalls, Deme handled everything and guided us to the waterfall. Afterward, we explored the town of Santiago and wandered around the central plaza. For lunch, we dined at Las Palomas de Santiago, where the food was incredible! I highly recommend trying the Tamal Tapado, Tacos de Cabrito, and the Pan de Elote (a sweet corn cake) for dessert.

Highly recommend tour with Polo!! - Polo picked us up right on time. The ride was large and comfortable. We booked last minute and ended up with a private tour. We only speak English, and Polo was fluent in English and Spanish. He was very knowledgeable about the area, guided us thru the park to the waterfalls. We didn’t get to see the dam, but the look outs were great. It was very hot out though lol. The parks were empty as well as we went on a Monday. We went to lunch and we asked him to join us and it was a wonderful meal. Highly recommend the tour.

Exceptional!!! - This was a FANTASTIC experience. My guide Emmanuel was knowledgeable, kind, and super easy to talk to. The falls are a must see location and Santiago is lovely. Emmanuel was able to explain things wonderfully and he helped take photos too. He really helped to make my visit to the Cola de Caballo falls and to Santiago unforgettable. 100% recommend!

Amazing Experience - I really enjoyed this trip when I went to Monterrey. Unfortunately, I don't remember my tour guides name, as i'm writing this review months after the activity. But still, I came back months later to write a positive review because they deserve it. The SUV is clean and new. The tour guide spoke great English, and was incredibly charismatic. The waterfall is beautiful and you get to spend a good amount of time there. I highly recommend this activity.
