Good experience - The place and the views are amazing; ideally you should hike around the waterfall and finally go swimming. The visit to the mezcalería was very interesting and we tried everything. Thank you very much to the guide, Estef, was super friendly and made us all comfortable in the group.

Hierve El Agua - Our experience was AMAZING! We loved our tour guide Stephanie. First stop at the panadetia was quick, got to try some delicious bread, tamales and hot chocolate. Once we arrived to Hierve El Agua we had 3hrs to explore. Our group decided to do the hike, took us longer than expected, so our time in the springs was a little short. So, if you want to spend more time in the water I would recommend skip the hike and just got down to take some quick pictures. The food was sooo good! Agua de Coco is a must! The Mezcal tour was very informative. We got to try different kinds and we left very happy!😅 I do recommend this tour if you want to have a great time.

The Hierve el Agua tour... - The Hierve el Agua tour was well organized and our guide was great! She started the tour by providing a lot of information about the area during our bus ride out to the site, then let us rest/relax on the ride back. We felt we had just the right amount of time at Hierve el Agua where we did the hike loop, spent 30 minutes in the mineral pool, then grabbed lunch at one of the vendors nearby.

Perfect tour without tourist traps, where you can bring or buy your own food - The tour left on time and the tour guide was very knowledgeable, lovely and friendly. The driver was careful and we felt always safe. The tour itself was without tourist traps and we could buy and bring our own food for lunch. The stops at the bakery and mezcaleria were informative and not too long and it's no problem, if you don't buy anything there. We only paid tips to the guide and driver, apart from that (and the food), everything was included in the price. The waterfalls were spectacular and the home is definite worth it, even though it can be very hot. If you are very fit, you can do the hike in 45 minutes with small stops, but most people need 1:00 to 1:15 h. Not all participants showed up for the tour, so there was spare seats iyn the tour and we were only 11, which was great. Try to sit in the front of the van, as the views are better there and it's less bumpy. We returned on time and had a great day.
