Tolantongo Grottoes: Live Paradise on Earth (Private Tour) The most relaxing and magical experience you can have in contact with nature. Tour designed for those who want to immerse themselves in a paradise of hot springs, caves and mountainous landscapes, with the comfort, security and personal attention that only an exclusive service can offer. Located north of Mexico City, in a mountainous region of the state of Hidalgo, the Tolantongo Grottoes make up a natural spa that has gained global fame thanks to its turquoise-blue hot springs, mystical caves, warm river, steam tunnels and a network of thermal pools carved on the mountain that seem to float in the sky. The sound of falling water, steam enveloping your body, the warmth of healing mineral waters and the direct connection to a vibrant, living nature make this place a sanctuary for body and soul.
We’ll pick you up anywhere in Mexico City where you’re staying to give you the best possible care, travel comfortably and safely to Tolantongo, Hidalgo
We will make a small stop for you to enjoy the view and take stunning photos.
The Thermal Pools Nestled atop the cliff, these tiered pools filled with hot springs allow you to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view while relaxing. Immerse yourself in its waters over 35oC, ideal for relieving stress, muscle aches and purifying the skin. The Grotto and the Tunnel Enter the huge natural cave from where the river flows. Feel the water fall from the ceiling like a mystical rain. The Thermal River Walk along nature trails until you reach the river of warm water. Its blue colors seem unrealistic and the constant temperature allows you to swim, float or just sit on the shore to get carried away with the current. It is the perfect place to relax, play with friends or children and feel completely at peace. Suspension Bridge, Dry Caves For lovers of light adventure, there are trails, suspension bridges and natural viewpoints from where you can have an unrivalled view of the canyon.

We had the best day touring Tolantongo. Richard was phenomenal and we’d recommend this private tour to anyone.
Richard was excellent tour guide, very pleasant and respectful.. he went out of his way to accommodate us, very attentive with a great attitude. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you very much for traveling with us and for your kind comment, we will forward this message to him! Thank you ☺️
Amazing place and worth the visit, if it hadn't been ruined by the driver. The driver showed up on time and the journey is 4hrs from Mex. City. The route includes an enormous amount of speed breakers in the middle of fast roads and also winding roads. This made the whole journey feel like a roller coaster because of his driving. We had to stop the car twice as one person was incredibly motion sick. This start stop went on for 2hours. The driver (called himself Richard) would drive at high speed (100kmh) and then suddenly break at a speed breaker. According to Viator, we were supposed to be given snacks and a head lamp. We didnt have these. I had also informed Nenemi tours that we have a speciali dietary requirements which was acknowledged. They did nothing with the snacks. The plastic bags were dirty and sticky - no sense of cleanliness or hygiene. The tour operator also started provided terms and conditions of their tour when I accidentally left something in the car. Should all Terms and conditions not be shared BEFORE the tour and not after?
Hola, esta persona está mintiendo ya que pedía agendar por fuera y se le negó porque nos quería estafar pagando con tarjeta de crédito, fueron muy poco amables, estuvieron llamando a las 2 am para pedir una baja en el costo de su tour (ya tenía descuento) además que olvidaron un bloqueador casi vacío y avisaron 1 hora tarde como le pedimos que nos enviaran un coche de aplicación para devolver su producto (si es de valor nos hacemos responsables) pero su producto estaba terminado; querían la basura, nosotros manejamos diferentes bolsas de celular y también lámparas, estas personas son estafadoras, mucho cuidado! Chequen nuestros comentarios Richard está muy bien reseñado sin embargo como se les negó la devolución están criticándonos
Tolantongo is a really amazing experience. The pools and view are wonderful and the caves are such a fun and interesting section that I was not expecting and really enjoyed. Our driver was really kind and everyone was so nice it made the trip worth the drive.
Thank you very much for having scheduled with us, and we are very happy that you enjoyed your trip!
This was an amazing trip. Richard aka Ricardo was an incredible tour guide. We are so glad we opted for a private tour. He went with our pace and preferred timing. Thank you Ricardo!
Hello! Thank you very much for leaving us your comment, we do our best to make your experience the best, see you soon
We booked this experience for our family of 4 directly through Viator but the only options online were for 2 people. They had us book two separate bookings for a private tour. You would think for 4 people there would be an adequate car supplied however the car that showed up was a compact car for our family of 4. It was very uncomfortable for a 8-9 hour roundtrip ride. Our driver Daniel was incredible though and completely not his fault that they sent him for this specific group since his car would have been fine for two people. The tour itself was really nice. The pools and cave/tunnel were a lot of fun and the kids loved it too.
Hello, our tours are personalized for a maximum of 3 people (this is the maximum number we have for this tour). Tolantongo is an amazing destination and we are happy that you liked it.
Great hosts. We had an awesome time exploring and swimming at our own pace. Highly recommend.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a comment, thank you for traveling with us
The good: Our driver Jorge was awesome. He arrived promptly at our 4 a.m. Pickup and was very informative. Because we are bilingual we just spoke Spanish but the overall trip was great! We were able to sleep for the short 3 hr. Car ride there and back and stopped for food and bathroom breaks which was needed. The tour provided us with instructions prior to the trip in them it was great information to make the most of the trip. The not so good: The drive was a bit long and time consuming. The tour company provided nothing other than the driver and vehicle. The instructions said the tour would include a cell phone bag, a waterproof flashlight, solar protection and something to weather the morning breeze. Bottom line none of this was provided! Overall I would definitely do it again! The trip was great and I highly recommend doing it.
Muchas gracias por su comentario, siempre nos ayuda a mejorar, si le hemos dado el equipo al guía, hablaremos con él acerca de estas omisiones, gracias por su comentario, lo apreciamos mucho, esperamos verlas pronto, gracias por ser amables y unas clientas estupendas.
Although the tour was very far it was a very nice experience. Our tour was private, our guide was Richard, he offered to stop if restroom was necessary. The only thing we didn’t get was a bag for our wet clothes, luckily we had packed one. The description did not indicate to bring a towel so knowing would have been helpful, once close to the site it’s possible to buy one if needed. We also did not get a sleeping blanket, but our car did have pillows which was nice given the long ride.
Hello, we really appreciate your comment, we will try to put other blankets in the cart and not store them, we will also put the towels in the instructions, your comment helps us a lot, thank you
Such a great experience! The tour was very well organized and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. You can really tell they care about their guests and want everyone to have a great time. They shared interesting information throughout the tour and made the whole experience both fun and memorable. It didn’t feel rushed, and they were always happy to answer questions and make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. I would definitely recommend this private tour to anyone looking for a fun, well-organized, and memorable tour. I would absolutely book with them again!
Gracias Itzel!! Estamos muy felices de haberlos conocido y pasar tiempo con ustedes, esperamos su visita pronto ☺️
