Long drive but totally worth it
We loved our trip here. It was a long drive but totally worth it. Our tour guide Marianna and driver Cesar were great. Marianna kept the long drive entertaining by engaging with the whole group in the van. She was super nice and made sure everyone’s needs were met.

Excellent guide, beautiful views
Álvaro was a very entertaining and sincerely friendly guide in a good mood. The driver Gio was funny as well. The hot springs themselves were very relaxing and the most beautiful site I’ve seen in my Mexico trip. Fully recommended!

Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $92 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 14 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 352 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour?
+
Around 123 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour, PREMIUM Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco (Small Groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour?
+
Included: Professional guide; Box lunch (only if the option is selected); Entrance to Tolantongo Caves; and Roundtrip transportation. Not included: Water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 152 listed pickup locations in and around Mexico City. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tolantongo Caves Hot Springs & Waterfalls Small Group Tour?
+

+
