I took an English-guided tour of Garcia Cave and the observatory. Garcia Caves was amazing beyond my expectations and left a great impression. It was a one-way bus ride of about an hour to the cave, but the inside was clean and comfortable, so the journey time was easy. Our guide, Lester, was very knowledgeable and explained the terrain, history, culture and life of Mexico with great interest. He also taught me about local food when I stopped by a convenience store on the way, and even kindly gave me advice at the currency exchange. It was very helpful not only for sightseeing but also for providing a lot of useful information for my stay in the country. Thanks to Mr. Lester, my understanding of not only the Garcia caves, but also Mexico itself, made this trip even more memorable. Thank you very much.
The tour of the caves of Garcia and the views of the city was an excellent experience! The views of the mountains and the interesting facts from our tour guide Emilio made the drive enjoyable. The caves were amazing - from the formations to the features made the walk interesting. There were some stairs and slippery parts of the walk so come prepared with good walking shoes. Our last stop at the park with the big flag was the BEST view of the city of Monterrey!! The view from downtown to the surrounding cities with the mountains gave a good perspective of the lives of the people of Monterrey. We really enjoyed the tour. We would definitely recommend it.
Fun experience getting to see a different side of the city. Will definitely recommend to everyone I know. Our tour guide was amazing. She was kind and made sure we all got to see everything and kept us informed
The caves were amazing. The view from Mirador del Obispado was incredible. The one hiccup was when our English-speaking guide fell ill. Fortunately, our driver Juan, who spoke little English did an incredible job of pulling double duty. We had a great day. Definitely recommended.
What an amazing experience. Chester was such a hospitable and knowledgeable host. Would highly recommend this tour!
Our tour guide was super kind and fun! Our group was friendly and we had a great time. They were on time and even treated us to ice cream.
Amazing staff and awesome visuals! Well worth it and glad we did this! Nice and comfortable ride with all kinds of insights of Monterrey while arriving!
Great experience and even better guide. This is a must do for anybody visiting Monterrey for the first time.
Outstanding tour and sights giving a clear overview of MTY. Cable car is an easy ride up the mountain. Observation deck perfect for pictures. Informative guide summarized very well the Monterrey area, business and things to do and where to eat. Cave tour was amazing. Our guide supplemented the cave guide with many additional facts. 750 steps were easy as there are many rooms where you can stop and even sit. The big Mexico flag was the perfect spot to see how big and still growing MTY is, spot the sites where we can go another time, see the train lines, airport, housing and different districts. Guide was super knowledgeable. Very clean car and good driving.
Great tour, they had the option to pick up/ drop off from your hotel which was very convenient. They also offered to drop you off anywhere on the route if you preferred. Breakfast was delicious at a local taco restaurant and a nice touch before starting the day at the caves. Caves were nice, lots of steps to climb but mostly an easy walk. Finished with the view from the large Mexican flag overseeing the city. Loved the tour overall. Samantha was the guide and Oberlin the driver, both did a great job!
