Our tour guide, Elias, made the experience so enjoyable! He was very knowledgeable about every stop, and we had the perfect amount of time to explore each place without feeling rushed. Definitely be sure to bring pesos for the entrance fees! The drive is about 3 hours each way, and we made it back to the meeting point around 5:30 PM. Overall, such a great experience and definitely worth it!
This was so fun and such an amazing experience! We loved all of it - the thermal pools, cave exploration (even though it was super hot), hot springs, and zip lining! Elias was super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and accommodating. We appreciated his instructions, guidance, and tips. He was a great driver as well!
Amazing experience with Elias! He was attentive, professional and caring for our group. We had a group of 6 and had our own car with him! We started off with an authentic breakfast spot, stopped by a stall to grab water shoes/phone water protector case, and headed to the falls! Started with the big waterfalls and caves (would recommend bringing flashlight!), then went to the rivers and ended at the pools! Would highly recommend Elias’ tour!
Firstly Bring cash! This was something we were not prepared for. Almost everything was cash only including entrance to the pools. The trip was a nice change of scenery from the few days spent in Mexico City. The place is gorgeous and exactly like the photos! Elias was so kind and patient and spoke very good English. The pickup was scheduled for 5am and he unexpectedly was able to get us from our hotel which was a pleasant surprise. We stopped for breakfast at a nice little family roadside stop. It was very delicious and kept us going for the day. The drive was long but we slept most of the way. When we did wake up there was such nice views and cute little villages. Elias was very knowledgeable about the villages and the history’s of them. When we got to the pools we paid our entrance then got changed and spent 2 hours at the pools. They were naturally quite warm, especially the upper pools. It was very quiet when we first got there and it was nice. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The place only accepts cash so if you want a drink or snacks it’s all cash only. But if you have a metal reusable water bottle you can bring it inside. From there we went down to the river, which myself and my teen boys really enjoyed as well. If you brought snacks this would be a nice place to picnic as well. But alas we were unprepared. After this we did a short hike into two caves and a waterfall, one which is like a natural sauna, the other was more room temp and had a big waterfall in the middle coming from the roof of the cave. It was pretty cool! From here we went to a restaurant for lunch. Lucky they accepted card here and Elias made sure to check for us before we ordered. He was also sat near us so that he could help in case there was any miscommunication when ordering. It was so nice having him nearby if we needed anything, he was never pushy and just very chill. After our meal we continued our journey home. I don’t think I would have enjoyed this trip if I booked with anybody else. Elias really made the trip so comfortable and easy.
Our family had a great experience traveling to Tolantongo Caves & Hot Pools. The tour operator is responsive, friendly and taking care of what we need during our tour. Highly recommended.
We loved the experience and all the information and history that Elias provided us at all the places we visited on this tour. 5-star experience!
Gracias a las turistas de Colombia más ➕ agradables, nos vemos en la siguiente!
Great experience, on-time, clear communication and lots of time to explore the areas of the park. Would highly recommend!
Our guide, Elias vas very knowledgeable about the park and many small towns we passed along the way. he went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. It’s a long drive but we enjoyed the trip.
Elias was sweet, accommodating, and knowledgeable and always answered in a very timely manner. Even when we had to reschedule our trip last minute he found a way where we would not have to pay any additional fees. Would recommend him to any visiting Mexico City!!! Gracias! -Carolina
Tolontongo is an amazing beautiful place. Enjoy natural springs and experience caves with warm water. The view is spectacular. If you love nature, respect the land, please keep it prestine. Try coming in low season so crowds won’t be an issue.
