We’re there early before it got too crowded.Posted on Tripadvisor Destination620460 Tolatongo pools and cave The pools, cave and river at Tolantongo were amazing!!! We really enjoyed our day there. It is a long ride to get there but well worth it. Our guide Ara and driver Mario were absolutely great! Highly recommend!Posted on Tripadvisor frazer b Mexico Canal Boats Excellent day out made some new Friends and Aline as guide was excellentPosted on Tripadvisor Alyssa S 10/10 experience This experience was AMAZING! Ara was great and showed us all the good spots. I cannot recommend it enough! It was an early wake up call but when we got to the hot springs we were the first ones there. Amazing views! 10/10Posted on Tripadvisor Tiffany B Definitely worth every penny!! This experience was one of a kind! Definitely worth the 3 hr drive. Being in a small group made the experience more intimate. Even though we went on a Sunday and it was busier than usual, we still managed to enjoy and navigate the hot springs with ease. I would totally recommend booking with this tour group!Posted on Tripadvisor Karly M Review Jerry and Fernando were both great. Jerry was very knowledgeable and friendly and we enjoyed our tour a lot. The drive there and back with Fernando was quick and safe.Posted on Tripadvisor caroline teixeira Best experience! I loved the tour with Geraldo and Fernando. We arrived at the park right when it opened, so we were able to see everything with fewer people around, and the historical explanations were excellent. The team was very friendly and attentive! I highly recommend it!Posted on Tripadvisor Emma C 10/10 experience Gerry and Fernando were amazing!! Gave us lots of recommendations and got us there and back safe and sound :) very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor Fabio T Tour. Very well organized tour.Nice staff.Posted on Tripadvisor Sabrina F Perfect day, no notes! 5 out if 5!!! Max was a wonderful guide. He went out of his way to make our trip really comfortable, peaceful, and enjoyable. He brought along water bottles & toliet paper for the restrooms that didnt provide any. He checked in often to make sure we were enjoying our time, and took very good care of us!!! Leaving early was great, we were able to beat all the crowds at our 3 destinations. We got back to the city by 415pm, which allowed us to still enjoy our evening. We all agreed we'd do this excursion exactly the same way again.
