Tony_D, Jul 2026

Incredible experience

Great full day experience for those looking to experience Tolantongo without staying overnight. Our guide Adrian and driver Chacha were super friendly and welcoming. They also provided all the necessities required for the day so it’s convenient. The water was beautiful and the cave adventure was the highlight! It’s a very early start with a long drive, but we really enjoyed it.

Great tour

This was great ! Edgar did a great job. Was very informative and knew a lot of information. We did the English tour as one member of our family doesn’t speak Spanish. And Edgar’s English was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour. And Edgar, I hope you get over your ex 🤣

Teotihuacan Private Tour from Mexico City

Andrew_B, Jul 2026

The best private tour of Teotihaucán, hands down.

Amazing! Look, the site is cool. We know this. You want to hear about our tour guide. Aldo was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel, he was able to tell us facts about the neighborhood we were staying in, and all the way to Teotihuacán. Aldo really knew his stuff, and was a fount of knowledge. And also just a really nice guy! Sometimes with long drives for private tours, there can be those long lulls in conversation. Aldo is genial and a lovely conversationalist, and that just made the time fly by. Cannot recommend him enough.

THE trip to Teotihuacan

This is the best tour to take if you actually want to see and get to know Teotihuacan without any unnecessary stops. The pick up was quick, convenient and punctual with the bus being really comfortable and perfectly conditioned. The guides and driver were a great team - everything was well coordinated and at the site the smaller groups were formed based on the language which is always a much better option that having a simultaneous bilingual tour. All the guides were very knowledgeable and approachable. I might have appreciated just a bit more free time at the site after the guided part was over but it was alright, definitely not terribly too short. Back at the city, lots of streets were closed due to World Cup events thus we were released in a different spot than the pick up one but that was fine - nothing anybody could do and I appreciated how hard the team tried to get as close as possible. Highly recommended.

Angel brought the pyramids to life

We had Angel as our English guide during the tour and he did an amazing job. He provided knowledge and stories that brought the history to life. The tour included a stop at an obsidian shop but it was nice to stop for a bit before the pyramids. Overall, it was a great tour!

The hot air balloon ride...

The hot air balloon ride was fantastic and the pilot was excellent. We flew over the pyramids which we then visited later. The tour guide at the pyramids was fantastic. His enthusiasm for his subject was infectious and provided a really good window into the past.

Solange_D, Jun 2026

Wonderful idea to spend a day

Taking this tour to Puebla, Cholula, and Tonantzintla was a great way to make the most of our day. I hadn’t had the chance to visit these places before, and I was truly blown away by the beauty of the architecture, the wonderful crafts, the flavors of the food, and the warmth of the people… I’m so glad I chose to do this! I’d do it again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it. The guide, René, was excellent, and the driver was very friendly and responsible. It’s totally worth it!

Our host Ismael was 10/10!

Ismael was an amazing host and made our overall experience a 10/10! Our van punctually picked us our hotel in Roma Norte at 4:15 am and we were nicely greeted by our host. We were given clear instructions on the balloon ride procedure and were fed cookies and coffee before our ride. The balloon ride was majestic as the sun was rising with many other balloons in the sky. We had chilaquiles for breakfast in the cave and tequila tasting after! We were also able to explore the pyramids which was a great site seeing experience. Ismael kept us engaged and was just a great person to be around this whole morning and would 10/10 recommend him as a tour guide for anyone in the future!

Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour

Morgan_A, Jun 2026

Amazing & Unforgettable

Be aware that the site is quite far from Mexico City in Hidalgo. With that said if you are interested in seeing the springs it is quite breathtaking and worth the drive. They pick you up and take you there and let you spend a long time there. It’s beautiful. The caves are a little claustrophobic but be prepared.

Great trip! Guide was...

Great trip! Guide was very knowledgeable and was able to communicate in both Espanol and English to the split tour. Driver was great and drove with care. Good experience at all 3 stops. Food stop was ok, lots of vendors at the artisanal shop and teotihuacan. But overall, learned a lot and had a great experience
